billyg Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Birkenhead are one of the clubs that we formed a strategic partnership with last year , I think this "trial" is just a nod to them to say we're keeping an eye on things !

What can we do for you? Look, I'll cut to the chase. We're skint and couldn't score in a barrel of fannies. You got anyone you could send our way that scores goals?

elvis Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 10 goals in 7 games includes 3 hat tricks is impressive untill you find out it's amateur football according to Google .wonder if he played in the game against Celtic at Lennox town today that Celtic won 1-0.

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 There an Amateur football team. f**k me only we would be looking at amateur players. Well, underwhelmed is an understatement looking at this guys career. New Zealand striker Alex Grieve on trial. Was NZ Northern National League MVP for 2021. P&D standard IMO. Must have spotted him at The Racecourse. Is this because the professional strikers we seem to bring in seem to be shite at taking a man on and scoring, so we are looking to see if we can get this from amateurs? The manager was given a budget to work with at the start of the season and he has wasted most of it on shite. Goodwin says in his interview he thinks our current squad is good enough to be challenging for top 6 yet says we need pace in the team, our team is 1 dimensional and teams know how to play us.100% right. I get it initially he thought with using the full budget at the start to get "quality" players in he thought the initial squad would change for top 6. I thought last season we changed shape depending on the opponent. Defensively we were alright and just needed to look at attack options. He has made us 1 dimensional with this system, which teams have found us out. We also used to play it on the Deck more and out from the back last season, but not this season. Formation has changed, but at the back the only new player is Dunne. Surely we could still play out from the back as it worked before? With using all his budget early on It has now left us hanging as we need people to leave to free up any cash. The fringe players have no stage to show any potential teams what they could do for them too. Erwin we need to leave to get someone in, but no f**ker sees what he can do. Only see at the warm up at most?! How are you supposed to get rid of that? Got to say defence signings have been good. Jim can spot a good player there. Say same to an extent with midfield with Jamie and Ronan... But apart from Brophy his strikers have been sub par at best. I keep doing this and ramble, but it's frustrating. I like Goodwin. I think the 3 at the back could work and can at times, but also need plan B, which we don't have and we need pace, creativity and goals. Or maybe if had creativity then that would lead to goals.

munoz Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Nothing wrong with us having a look at this lad- if he's not up to the standard, I don't imagine he'll be signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Seems like this one has been in the mix for a long time and he'd have been with us before now if it wasn't for travel restrictions. So it's hardly a panic move. Birkenhead fans knew 5 months ago it was happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have a clue about Stark, Young or Stewart. Ask the fake Saint from Arbroath about Fergies furies. Wee bawbag Toxic Titch doesn't know..

djchapsticks Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 For a wee bit of perspective, every NZ player who made it big started out at clubs like Birkenhead. Chris Killen, Chris Wood, Winston Reid, Sarpreet Singh of Bayern Munich. Bill Tuiloma actually went from Birkenhead to Marseille and made it into their first team in 2015. He now now plays MLS football week in week out for Portland. f**king daft to suggest that we ought to write him off for being amateur. Almost every player who makes it to the full NZ national team goes this route of playing for a club until they are 18-22 and the best ones head for Europe. This lad has had that path delayed by a two year pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
