Thats true, we'll need to find a young Harkins type player for next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our shockingly poor midfield under both managers has exposed our defence and created absolutely nothing for our front players. There isn't one of them that I would be worried about losing. Robson is probably a decent player but he won't be staying anyway. A stronger midfield would have kept us up. McCann weakened it then McIntyre tried to replace it and failed with the signings he brought in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KM's finishing in the 4-0 game v Accies was world class but his age is obviously a concern and his relationship with the manager will be significant as well. He's not been given a run in the team in 2019 so I expect McIntyre will probably have him on the bench next season (if he remains in charge).

El Bak scored a handful of world class goals that Messi and Ronaldo would be proud of. Doesn't make him a world class player though, or even a Premiership class player. Letheren. Bain and Speroni made saves that were truly breathtaking. Can I not use the phrase "world class" to describe those moments? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. None of Miller’s goals you mentioned were even close to being world class All my opinion of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I just felt he made his second and third goals look so effortless. Stroking the ball into the net from 30 yards is not easy though. You need to get the timing, accuracy and pace spot on to beat a keeper at this level. The shot for his second goal doesn't even look worth taking but I think he's used the fact the keeper is partially unsighted by defenders to catch him out. If I see that in the Highland League or La Liga I'm going to call it a world class strike. Messi does it on a weekly basis. He knows when to strike the ball to deceive the keeper and for me Miller produced a couple of top level efforts that day. There are players like the Tank who will spend their entire careers shooting from 30 yards and not scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemback1997 Posted 11 May 2019 Report Share Posted 11 May 2019 (edited) Say what you like about the boy's work rate and attitude but he can score goals! Some finish today - quick off his marks too - and I'm dee-lighted to be one of the 100-odd people to be able to claim they've seen a 39-year old score for the Dark Blues!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to Kenny adding a few more for us in the second tier next season!!! Edited 11 May 2019 by kemback1997 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to Kenny adding a few more for us in the second tier next season!!! KM if he has the appetite for it would be brilliant for the championship, the potential of him forging a partnership with Nelson could be a strike force to saviour in that league, that being said, there is a niggle in my head that he was at loggerheads with JM and his nose was out of joint due to Nelson arriving with the bang that he did, as said by many we need to clear the midfield, including some who have served us well in seasons past, they have not delivered this year and its time for them to go no room for sentiment. Our work rate in the middle of the park has cost us dear, little or no service going front, and severely lacking in support of the back four. Lost count the amount of goals lost to teams who just went straight through the middle of the park.. Players like Robson who whilst on loan is now out of contract would provide that energy in the middle of the park, the lad came to us carrying an injury, struggled, however he could do a job against 2nd Tier Teams. There are some bones to pick out of the team that should not be discarded, these guys could flourish with the right senior pros alongside. O'Dea's gone, others like Paul McGowan & the General should also be heading towards the door. Would rather we spend decent money on a few seasoned pros and let the youth, that we will still have grow around them. Changing the whole team will serve no purpose. JM was cock on when he said we have been fighting relegation for 3 years, Last season we were 15 goals shy of where we needed to be yet McCann bought Defenders and alledged midfielders to supply a P*ss Poor front line, the club allowed nostalgia to win when we fought to bring back McCann !!!!!!!!!, if the manager is to be changed, do we offer good money to temp the likes of Tommy Wright ????. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Stewart scored some world class goals for us especially the dribble v Ross County, lack of global exposure means it is unknown just like our best ever come back v Koln...better than Spurs and Liverpool this week, give we had 20 mins to do it.
