That's a different discussion but it goes to show players from Raith etc aren't all shite. Don't care if he's better or not , the boy has heart , something that shitebag has never shown.

Goes from the sublime to the ridiculous in the space of one game on here. Or lets criticise where due and praise where due. He's a professional footballer. Today I hope he gets all the plaudits he deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Maestro 11,024 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 9 minutes ago, MasterD said: He can defend when defend is all he has to do and when we’re getting attacked a bit it helps with concentration. Like others in the team when it comes to the lesser teams the concentration can easily wander and it’s harder to defend when the teams not set up to defend in numbers. Had a good game when he came on. The defence as a whole were brilliant second half and part of the first. That's the sort of thing that comes with experience though. It's what we expected Alves to provide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariuszAdamczuk 548 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I'm his biggest critic but he was outstanding today, attitude was first class and he stepped up when our European Championship winning centre half took the easy way out the game. Thought he was excellent at covering the balls into right channel when Candeias and Tav were pushed up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6superbarry6 14,148 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I'd have no problems with binning Alves and playing Bates tbh not great on the ball but neither is Bruno's continual 50 yard punts to naecunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer time 653 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 can't decide between him or Wilson for MOTM with McCrorie not too far behind either. Both CH's played fantastic even more so when both were on a booking as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFC 2004 32 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Big man was immense today and with the right coaching and application can improve certain areas of his game and become an important member of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,680 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 6 months ago I expected him to end up released by Stirling Albion or some lot and unable to find a club in his prime. What a turn around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenerife Bear 1,748 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Always plays well when he comes on a sub for some reason. Strange big player. Excellent today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryju84 3,170 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Brilliant when he doesnt try to be fancy. He does the defending well and tracked their players superbly. When he tries little flicks that Tav gets away with... then he is in trouble. Bates was my motm today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,274 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Have liked big Bates from the start. My kind of CB, a big, strong and no-nonsense defender. Fans so often drool over cultured, ball-playing centrebacks and forget you need guys like Bates to allow them the get away with it defensively.

harlands plater 16,957 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It says “ defender” on the tin, and that’s exactly what he is. First and foremost he’s there to stop the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JukeBoxJohn 3,060 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 In all honesty he's hardly put a foot wrong when he's stepped in for us. Was outstanding today and should be a starter in the next few games after the winter break. He's no nonsense which is exactly what we need and puts that shitebag alves to shame.
