well said  i could never understand the hype around lowry  i saw a lot of the b team last season and a few this season  sure the boy has talent but as blueoz said about his talent is only when on the ball the number of games i saw him where he  disappeared for long spells   as i said he has talent but he needs better coaching and better application

I have it on good authority that the one thing our manager really tries to impress on players is their lifestyle choices, eating and drinking habits and their individual responsibilities fitness wise as professional footballers.

@psb07158 will back me up on that.

Morelos clearly takes no interest.

We have a team at present who, in League games anyway, have around 70% possession and a ridiculous number of shots on goal and corners for little if any return.  Quite honestly, I really don’t care if the boy disappears out of games, I just want someone with a little ability and composure to put his foot on the ball and pick out a couple of passes that count.  If that means they only turn up for 5min, it’s an improvement to that which we’re seeing at present.

Although he may not ultimately deliver on his potential, the boy has looked to provide something different to the water carriers and side/ back passing merchants we are watching week in week out at present time.  I honestly don’t care about his supposed ‘bad attitude’, I just want to see someone who might gives us something different to the dross we’ve been watching lately and a reason to go out on a winters night to watch it.

Hagi snapped his ACL. How could that have been avoided?

 

He wouldn't have collided with the Stirling defender. It was a needless game for him to play just like it was needless to keep Lowry and Lawrence on the park at the time they were both injured.

Apparently giving a footballer a full 90 minutes or a game against part timers is poor man management. I’m not sure what the people saying this want us to do instead.

Stuck £5 on 0-0, in case

[GA1972 10,323]

You’d have an attitude problem as well if you couldn’t get in a squad where Scott Arfield was playing regular 

[BigBearButt 3,923]

If I was him I'd move on. More likely to give davis a new contract extension than develop a youngster. King is only getting game time as he is the last resort.

Quite right. I'm swallied up right now and it makes match days much better. Would highly recommend.

[DiamondDan 2,386]

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he throws away his talent and wastes his career. If you look at the number of young players that have actually came through the ranks and fulfilled the potential they were reported to have then it amounts to Barry Ferguson and Alan Hutton.

Nathan Patterson potentially as well.

However, the list of wasted talent is endless whether it be due to lifestyle/attitude or injury. Or else just completely overhyped by fans  desperate for a success story.

Said it before, I worked at (then) Murray Park about 15 years ago and the attitude of Scottish youngsters was absolutely appalling. It was cultural, to train hard and look after yourself was stigmatised the way a being a specky geek/ teachers pet would be stigmatised at School. Foreign boys were miles ahead in terms of maturity and application (although tbf none of them did anything of note either).

Scottish lads acted the way we would if we were in some dead end, soul destroying job. They spent their time trying to do as little as possible and pull the wool over coaches eyes. 

They had no interest in eating properly, only pretending they were to avoid a row.

They were infaltised as well, treated like absolute weans, instead of supported to be responsible young men, who could make responsible choices.

Don't know who was at fault for the situation, the coaches, the boys, our society or, more likely, all to some degree.

Or Perhaps because they don't ever get a (real) chance. How we got the money we did for Patterson still astounds me, not because he is not worth it, but because he only played for a few months when Tav got injured.

Or doing well in the first team games he played in last season?

[graeme_4 37,630]

Talented player, but seems like a roaster.

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Dont know whats going on with this boy other than hes never getting near the first team under this manager.

[bluenoz 32,526]

Another player the manager has somehow made worse.

[BlazingSandals 314]

He was absolutely rotten though on Tuesday and showed exactly why he’s currently playing in the B team

Surely not?

He’s the greatest player ever and never done anything wrong, and solely down to GVB?

Scored a second

Surely people weren’t expecting Lowry to play today given it was pretty clearly mentioned that he was really poor mid week?

[G.E.C. 19,594]

Well done Alex.

If only you had the same commitment today at pre season.

The whole team plays poorly almost every week , and most are in the team next game. I would have played him today.

Most of our players have played shite most of the season, doesn't stop them getting picked every game.
