Super Ally Scores Again! 440 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Anyone any idea what’s happening with Arfield?? Hardly kicked a ball this season and not even on the bench today. After last season I think it’s fair to say he wouldn’t be in the starting 11 but in our current sticky form I can’t work out why he’s not getting minutes ahead of other players. Adds energy, runs beyond the strikers and scores from outside the box - Traits we are badly missing at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast 9,121 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Sadly on his way out. A great player for us at his peak but time has not been kind to him and this will be his last season at the club imho and only as a bit part player. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

murzo 7,428 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He was sitting in the stand, surely he’s not dropped off so much that he doesn’t even make the bench? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players being wasteful in front of goal , taking the wrong options , and a goalie who showed the punching ability of michael stewart ultimately cost us full points today .

The Kamara, Lundstram and Aribo midfield simply isn’t working. It has the feeling on a transitional season so far. Arfield, Davis, McGregor, Defoe all getting less game time. As you say, the replacements aren't working. There is a spark and real quality missing that these guys in their prime had in abundance. Individually Kamara, Lundstram and Aribo are good players, but we definitely miss the thrust that Arfield and Davis at their pomp gave us. plumbGER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacuna came on and gave the ball away too much but with hardly any game time it’s difficult. Agree we should have won at at stroll, was just one of those games where luck and effort didn’t see us out. siamthedanger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,178 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 So far I would rate Bacuna as well below mediocre.Has he ever shown in his previous clubs that he will add anymore than he has shown so far with us? falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacuna hasn’t played enough football for us to be rated as anything yet tbh. Replace his name with Lundstram in that post and and this could be any post about him from six weeks ago.

MacBoyd 5,328 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Was a key player this time last year. Defoe was top scorer in league this time 2 years ago, albeit 2 years is a long time for a player his age. He also scored against celtic and sheep this may. I don't understand how those two are no longer options, especially how shite we have been. Surely they can't have regressed that quickly, and if they have need moved on in Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRUTH82 782 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Without looking at the stats, Arfield was probably good for 10 goals a season, his late runs into to the box provided many goals. It's certainly not been replaced. HG5, smudger.kp, They Gnu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
