Alloa v Livi

Buchanan has now trebled his goal tally for the season, playing alongside who? Oh, yeah that would be Sheerin, so Buchanan statistically is more likely to score playing alongside Sheerin. You are the resident stato so for you now to suggest the stats don't matter when it comes to Sheerin on the basis that as far as you can see he is overweight is nothing short of fatist.

I remember I big fat lazy git that used to play for Morton but he scored regularly and created goals for others, he was outstanding, Andy Ritchie I think it was.

White and Buchanan have played together already this season and showed no signs of forging a partnership, meanwhile Sheerin and White have done so and now Sheerin and Buchanan have done with even greater effect, the common denominator is Sheerin, those my friend are the facts.

Excellent result today and while most of us have been shouting for Sheerin and White to be the starting two my lad has been saying Sheerin and Buchanan for weeks. In fact he has been suggesting today's line up for weeks, with the obvious exception of McCallum but he has wanted DJ replaced for weeks too. Hopefully we build on this and rip Dumbarton next week too.

Yeh it was Andy Ritchie. He was the opposite of what is regarded as a professional footballer. He was famously lazy, smoked and always on the heavy side but he scored goals for fun for Morton.
Another heavyweight goal scorer was Mark Yardley of St Mirren a number of years ago.
The thing about Sheerin is that partly due to his bulk he can hold off the kind of players that would flatten Mullen and in this league that is useful.

You keep missing the point Smithy, THIS SEASON we're talking about and we've been struggling to score goals with 2 of the top scorers from LAST SEASON until they've paired up with Sheerin.

Go check your stats for how many goals THIS SEASON Buchanan and White have scored playing without Sheerin beside them, look at all the combo's we've tried, Buchanan himself, Buchanan/White, Buchanan/Mullen, White/Mullen.

Just off the top of my head Buchanan scored against St Mirren with Mullen assisting him, that's about it.

White played a lot of minutes without scoring in 3 games then Sheerin came on as sub and White scored all 3 of his goals.

Buchanan scored 2 today with Sheerin.

Doesn't matter a jot how many goals White and Buchanan scored in other seasons, this season they were struggling to score until Sheerin was played up front with one of them.
Sheerin has also scored 2 with White and Buchanan as his partners in different games.

So that's 7 goals in 4 games that has had White/Sheerin & Buchanan/Sheerin front 2 combo's.

But for some reason our manager doesn't play him, Edinburgh Livi said White was our best player on Tuesday and Sheerin was blowing out of his arse as he was today again after an hour but he preferred him to White.

I just think there must be some sort of fall out between the manager and White As White would have been the first name on my team sheet for today after the Inverness game.

I'm allowed a love in too haha

Not true white and Sheerin started at Dumfries

Sheerin was taken off and then White scored

Get your facts right mate

I think you might be missing the point, no one's saying White shouldn't play. But we've played a lot better and look more likely to score when Sheerin's on the pitch.

He's the only one not seeing it LL, the rest of us are.

I sure as feck wasn't just wanting 2 up front, I was wanting Sheerin to be one of the 2 and I still am. Tbf I thought White and Sheerin looked good in the games I saw them, the Morton one when Sheerin came on changed completely with White and him scoring then Hippo hitting the bar. But today proved Buchanan played well with Sheerin too.

I may be imagining this but was pretty sure Smithy wanted White and Sheerin starting too as the front two, but now he's completely dismissing Sheerin because he has a good game with Buchanan and feels threatened that White wont play up front with Sheerin now. So wants rid of Sheerin so White can start with Buchanan.


Buchanan and White started a few games together earlier in the season and didn't score a goal between them.

Off to bed

Great three points

Yes I said Sheerin and White LF

Just thought you went overboard by saying we would mot have won without Sheerin

Pointed out that I was right

However when Buchanan scored we played one up v St Mirren lol

So let's have a wee look when we all sober lol

Cheers

Three points in the bag
