NorthEndSoul Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) If Gallagher is your maestro, then I see the problem. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34512392https://mobile.twitter.com/philhinchcliffe/status/656551763655397376 Edited October 20, 2015 by NorthEndSoul nips and MrBored 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) We all wear tinted specs, I recall games like the Pigs and North Ender fans have seen. But then he'd get that moment of promise and class where out of no where one of his shots goes in. He used to shoot all the time, verging being greedy but we knew he would score so this element of his game was encouraged. I'm surprised at the aimless runs, as that must be coaches orders at PNE.7 goals at the Pigs in one (first) season isn't bad.. I'd say it was a good step.. how many games did he start?

Center Half Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Can we no change the talk to about Ex saint striker Steve Evans now? and how he is going to get super Leeds going again. could not find a thread on it so apologies if there is already one.

sleepless Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I've always had a soft spot for Stevie Evans. I lived in Stamford in the eighties and he started out as manager there, then took Boston into the league. He was always great copy in the local media. Yes, there was some dodgy stuff at Boston, but that was more the chairman. He's always struck me as a great motivator, in the Ally MacLeod vein. I reckon he gets the most out of his players.

Andy Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Down in London for a few days so decided to take in the Charlton v Preston game to see how Stevie is playing. As has been said he never came off the bench. On another note the bottom of the championship is really awful, Charlton are one of the worst teams I've seen in a while and made Preston look good. Saints wouldn't have any problems if we were to face them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I am not being funny but would s may fit in with saints team nowNot being funny, but given his clear drop in form, I'd rather have what we've got. Cummins looks like an absolute diamond of a find, and MacLean gets better every game. We've still got Kane too, who has shown huge promise, as well as other youngsters like Hunter. Given that May would undoubtedly be our highest earner if he were to come back/was still here, I'll stick please. Cagey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy rhodes fancy watch Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) This is fun. Stevie not wanted back when weighing up wages etc.I would have him back with sponsored wages, all we need now is some loaded t*** to pay them. Where's those pesky exiles ?

Pat McGroin Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'd have him back but given his current form, he'd be slaughtered by our support. You don't get out of these slumps overnight. Look at what happened when Goodwillie returned to United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was crucial to our promotion last season aswell.Just curious, why do you not rate him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We was the ones that bought him from Cork... Now he was ****ing dire! To be honest I'm starting to think strikers just go bad as soon as they come to us! Good to hear he's doing ok now though, always put the effort in and looks like it's finally paying off for him. McCarry One Nil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was crucial to our promotion last season aswell.Just curious, why do you not rate him? This gets slightly off topic. However, my first thought would be what is he, front player or midfielder? I seem to recall he started as a striker but his goal ratio is pretty poor, asides from a season a Stoke when he was one in three. The rest of the time the goals haven't really flowed and that is despite playing the last two and a bit seasons in league one, which isn't a great level. If he's more a provider of goals then every time I've seen him and that admittedly isn't that much, he hasn't managed to keep the standard up. He may have looked good to you in the past couple of seasons, particularly last year in your promotion. However, again, just how good were the sides you were playing against? I can't help thinking if he was that good then he would have been signed by the sides in the playoff places (no offence to PNE intended). Finally, the thing that seals the deal.........Berti Vogts gave him is only cap that should say it all ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't underestimate league 1, its weak at the moment but there's usually a few good teams down there. Massive gap between the Championship and league 1 though I know that much.

One of them my greatly missed grandad got me years and years ago and takes pride of place but I have another somewhere that I won in a raffle. If I can find it I'll give it you, not sure if it would make much in Scotland like.I've not seen it in a long while though.

Good to hear he's doing ok now though, always put the effort in and looks like it's finally paying off for him.the signing didn't fill me with hope or excitement, but he's been absolutely superb. Hard working, scored some brilliant goals (particularly headers) and laid on some clever chances for others. 10 times the player I expected him to be.

Kyle Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I think he's on 4 goals and 6 or possibly 7 assists already this season? Cummins has been superb for us. Edited October 22, 2015 by Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
