roboscot 1,202 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 An absolute standout since his arrival. Is this the guy to build a team around? You don’t win anything with kids… CoopsLaud 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobar 13,676 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 McPake looked better than him yesterday but I don’t watch them often enough or know the age difference. Good header. Copland bear, ForeverAndEver and GOAT 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thought mcpake was good but tired at the end (understandably). Liked the right back, don't know the kids name but seemed tough with a bit of composure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I expect he'll be off to a Premiership team soon, Arsenal or Chelsea, as most players with double barrelled names seem to end up there...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 If they don't get promoted to playing against adults, they will never make it. We seem to wrap them up in cotton wool, and think they are still youngsters at 22/23. They will only come on in the game playing against the big boys, sadly in Scotland we play against hammer throwers.

Dont think he would be in a hurry to go back to chelsea or england, his reason for coming here was quicker route to first team action.

Don't want another Billy Gilmour situation on our hands He was always away from us as soon as interest started. Boys a quality player but he's got his sights set on being a millionaire and the best in the world. He'll either become a serious player or he'll crumble into obscurity. Burberry model by the age of 16, modern footballs obscene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 63,184 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 First I’ve seen the boys play. Brilliant display and delighted for them but the step up to first team is a bit away for them all. And as for the show pony the press spunk over for them, never making it.

STEPPS BOY 77,238 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Said on here a few weeks back that i think we’d see Mcpake and possibly Dapo make first team bench this season. I suspect that Mcpake might get a run-out against Killie on last day of season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 31,923 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I liked McPake and the RB Paterson. Was impressed with the effort of McKechnie when he came on. Really put a shift in. RFC RYAN 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
