    I dont get why everyone thinks Clark will be the one to be up there as one of the top scorers? Curran has scored 2 goals so far and i dont think either of them was from outside the 6 yard box. Dont see Clark as that type of player and Neilson doesnt seem to like Curran.

    Main thing is, we need all strikers to start contributing with more goals because our defense will not be tight enough through the season against those who will be challenging for the play offs at the end.

    I think its a highland thing,maybe there is no pressure up north but the number of players and manager's who are winners up there and flops in cities is incredible.John Hughes,Craig BrewsterTerry Butcher are prime example's but plenty of players never reached the heights either.

    Mind you a manager who got sacked in the highland's which very rarely happens is now entrusted with the task of saving the Funsters minus his right hand man.

    I think Clark will get his chance with injuries etc but right now the first 11 is one we had on Saturday I’d guess.

    Safranko has been immense. Him
    winning ball back has led to a lot of our recent goals.

    Maybe mcmullan plsying centrally can chip in plenty goals too.

    McKay will take chances (sometimes) but one of those players where if he is not scoring he is not doing anything

    It's exactly that for players at clubs like livi, accies, county and ict, comfort zone, wee centers, no expectations, nothing like at a club like Utd, many of them can't handle it but are happy in that environment, its the way option so they enjoy it

    Takes character to perform at bigger clubs with pressure on and a decent sized fanbase that will make their feelings known

    TBF to McKay, he joined at completely the wrong time with tbe Club falling apart and the onus and expectation firmly on him and him alone to get the goals to keep us up. It's little wonder it didnt pan out. Had he played in the team beside Ciftci, Armstrong and GMS he'd have scored a barrowload I'm pretty sure.

    I'm not talking about mckay in particular, although he was pretty woeful for us for the most part, missing sitter after sitter and lots of one on one

    Just a general view, those clubs are comfort zones for many players that can't hack it at places like DUFC, Aberdeen, hibs or hearts

    Agree. With mckay it is three things 1. This is his level 2. There is no pressure 3. He has got some confidence.

    Wont last
