compo 7,050 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The crossing of the ball by the present players is deplorable even the taking of free kicks leave much to be desired as well 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's rank rotten most of the time. I really don't know what's happened to Tav. Maybe the job's too big for his shoulders, he wouldn't be the first to suffer from that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franc Ergs 1,655 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Tav was a better, and more confident player ,when Candeias was on the scene. It's been a bit like his mojo's gone since . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Mark Walters and Neil McCann were both top quality crossers of the ball. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 What about wee Bud - Willie Johnston. That guy could hang a ball in the air forever and hence fooled a lot of defences. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,050 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Take Alex Scott and Davie Wilson as well as good crossers of the ball they scored between them a total of 274 goals a very good return 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, take a truly wonderful player like Ralph Brand, has there been a better inside forward since? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been thinking about this and you’re right. In the role of assistant striker he was so good he was the chief striker. He didn’t have to do a lot of the fetch and carry stuff because of the long range passing ability of McMillan and Baxter and the fact that so many attacks were launched from the wings. I wonder how many he scored from Jimmy Millar nod-downs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
