Remember the first transfer window we had under the management where we signed like 9 players in Jan and only mullan was any where near good enough?
Why did Lenny sign shaw? Why did he keep Kane? Are we now hoping a player who didn’t score a league goal for us last season can start banging them in?
Some of these players like shaw and Morrison are not youngsters and will be on excellent money and yet make little to no impact in games.
Corbally is 23 in a few months and we paid a decent fee but has not kicked a ball yet.
How many match winners do we actually have in the team?

His first instinct is to always pass. Could do with a goal for confidence maybe kick start him. He is not a lone striker. He would be good along side Kane.

To be fair, he was playing Czech third tier before coming to us. Having watched Czech top tier in the summer, we could have dispatched those sides even with how shabby we are. Think he is a longer term project player. Which is then weird why Shaw doesn’t start.

Always trying something too fancy, first touch is often too heavy then choosing to pass instead of side footing the ball to either side of the keeper from 6 yards out. I’ve no idea what distance he is wanting to score from. Is he wanting to dribble the ball over the goal line. So frustrating watching him. Hopefully Ollie Thomas can be the one to bag us a goal and get this season kick started.

It’s not his instinct: His first touch is always a pass because his control is so bad. The boy couldn’t trap a bag of cement.

Ive only watched him once vs raith thougjt he was decent. I couldn’t comment on his performances since but i find it hard to judge out scouting system, it’s sourced some great players and maybe some not so great players but thats par for the course, how much ***** have we signed in the past? Plenty. Theyre going for young players with high potential, it’s gonna work sometimes and others not so much.

Runs about like a headless chicken…1 on 1 with the keeper in the 2nd half and squares the ball to the Livi defender.
He doesn’t need another player up top to help….he needs to be sitting on the bench from the start v Partick.

Groundhog Day to what? Apart from last season it’s been murder to watch for years. This season the main problem is the same as we’ve had for years …..Dunfermline nil is back.
Yet again we’re sitting here hoping Kane is fit again.
We appear to have fallen into the trap of signing players like Morrison, shaw and Corbally etc without thinking about whether they actually fit into how we want to play. Good example is last year we signed Kearney and this year another teams player is keeping him out the team how is that developing our own youngsters?

To me, he doesn`t look like a professional football player at this level. I`m very surprised Lennon is starting him every week. Is he being told to? Is there something we should be worried about when such an inept player is seemingly first pick up front?
The team we signed him from, SK Dynamo České Budějovice, are owned by a Nigerian "businesswoman" who was supposedly representing an international investment consortium, but it doesn`t seem clear who is behind that, and the club has dropped from the first division to the third tier since she took over.

its the change of system and not having the options for it, him and a not fit yet Thomas are the only ones suitable for it.
thats what happens when you decide to rip up everything after 7 games in to the season when signings have been made for plan A and even then some of those are questionable for that.

It doesn`t matter who starts up front,all of our strikers are missing sitters. We brought Shaw on, and his performance shows exactly why he finds himself on the bench.
We need to start converting chances, even Stevie Wonder could tell you that. But it`s another decent performance with some really good chances created. Raith and Stenny drawing helps us slightly, too.
No need to panic just yet. Just because the strikers have missed a few chances doesn`t mean they`re garbage. If there was a 15–20 goals a season striker available, he wouldn`t be playing for Dunfermline.
SCH will be a massive loss. Hopefully, it`s not as bad as it looked when he hobbled off.
This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

I certainly wouldn’t call all of our signings “shocking” - how many have had international call ups?
Some have worked out extremely well, some have been good, some been average, some been poor, some been a waste of time/money. Thats pretty standard for a club our size.
Whats more worrying is that Lennon cant get a tune out of them up top. Defensively we seem very good.

It`s amazing Tod can`t cut it at Championship level but two different managers have considered him good enough for the Scotland under-21 squad, playing with guys attached to clubs who mostly play at a higher level than him.
Today he had the handicap of playing virtually the full game with a yellow card against his name knowing that an inconsistent ref could send him off for the slightest indiscretion. But I do think he`s less effective playing as a wide player than as a support to the main striker through the middle.

Is there something wrong with the training that the strikers are getting during the week? For them all to be misfiring is concerning.
Or is it just the fact that striker A is missing chances which puts more pressure on striker B then more pressure striker C? This cascades through the whole team and then everyone who get s into a position to shoot feels massively under pressure and either snatches their chance or chooses to pass to a team mate rather than be the one who missed the chance. Honestly I feel sorry for our strikers they must feel terrible missing the chances we’ve had in some of our games.
Maybe we just need to ride this hard part of the season out and we will get a breakthrough soon. I’m sure other teams in league will have periods where they are struggling for results. We’re hanging on in there just now just waiting on the goals to come. I’m so proud of the players for not giving up still giving it a massive amount of effort.
Least our defence has been solid along with our midfield we are at least creating chances for our strikers.
It’s never been easy being a Pars fan….but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

👆this is a big part of the issue with Tod! Useless out wide. Can’t beat a player constantly backtracks giving defences time to organise. Need to be more through the middle.

Interesting Wee eck you think the Scotland under 21’s would stroll this league? Tod would be more suited playing under 21’s as it’s not as physical.
Tod has shown he can cut it in this league but not on a consistent basis, when he’s off he’s waaay off it.
As we’ve debated before, it’s not Tod’s fault he’s playing every week when his performances would make you question the logic espech last season when he was clearly jaded, this decision and the other strikers we’ve signed are on Lennon.
Those playing in forward positions for us are not being picked based on form.

Adams has exceptional stamina. His closing down is great. On occasions he can trick his way past defenders. He laid on a great ball to Tod, who should have scored but hit the post. Apart from that his touch is highly erratic, he will never outpace a defender and he seems to possess a seriously deep phobia of putting the ball in the net. Apart from that he runs his heart out but if that`s all he has to offer, it doesn`t hit the mark in this league.

Well, Berkey, Barney Stewart, Lobban and Cleall-Harding have all done OK in the Championship. The recent squad had Curtis and Wilson in it and they could certainly shine in the Championship.
Everything`s down to Lennon. The stuff on here is hot air. He knows the issue. He can`t understand it as his teams usually have no trouble scoring. The only sitter today was Adams passing instead of scoring. The two that hit the post could easily have gone in and we`d have to find something else to moan about.
As for recruitment, there`s not a team anywhere which has got it right all the time. Every transfer window we see big clubs offloading players we`d forgotten they`d signed in the first place.

What nonsense, national teams tend to have high variation in the abilities of players and especially at under 21 level. It’s good Tod is involved and getting some game time but that does not mean he’s consistently good enough for the top end of the championship.
I mean we’re playing an untested raw youngster up front every week and wandering why it’s not happening for him. Why are we then surprised when he’s having no impact?
