Pierce Bird

I am desparately trying to look for positives tonight, and the emergence of this lad is probably the best I can find. For me he was second only to CMS as MOM today, and has never looked out of his depth since he was given his chance.

I predict he will be a player of the season contender next season.

I thought exactly the same, second best player today for us. Always seems to have a bit of time, strong and brave enough not to just hoof it.

Said exactly the same to my uncle during the game and he replied that we probably wouldn't be able to hang on to him for long, I hope you're right and he really kicks on for us next season (and stays) regardless of what league we're in, he's already came a long way in a short time.

He should have played more games than he did. Also, there is no way that Barclay is a better player

Agreed. and really only playing because Duffy injured and Barclay suspended..

Agreed, Bird has looked the part whenever he has played. He also seems to have a decent left foot and can pick a pass. The one positive of getting relegated is that some of our younger players might have the chance to get more game time - players like Bird, Osborne, and Crawford. Perhaps watching hungry, local lads taking pride in the shirt in the National League will be better than watching a bunch of mercenaries on their final pay day in L2.

Also, the fact we have Rose and O'Brien singed up for next season (assuming we hold on to them) is promising.

My thoughts are the same. Bird has looked class and composed every time I've seen him so why was he dropped and missed so many games?

[jonnyt1]

Was always a good player at Dunkirk when my lad used to play against him.

He’s really impressed me wearing the black and white and in my opinion is the only bright thing this season.

However it won’t surprise me if another league 2 or even league 1 club wants him in the summer.

Which bugger has been careless with a flame thrower in the dressing room, Slacky?

Agreed, thought Stubbs was second for MOM.
