1 Blair Sturrock,
yep, i agree with those saying we should get behind him. for me he's a solid, hardworking player who just seems to be lacking a bit of confidence. this was illustrated last night when he was put through, had one defender to beat, but rather than take him on got his back to goal and nothing came of it. i think with a bit more self-belief, he could be trying his hand at a shot from that kind of distance - i remember him having a decent effort from the edge of the box during the wolves game which rattled the bar.
first post by the way, hi all!
To be fair to the guy he does give 100% effort but to even think about using him as a striker and expecting to mount a promotion/play-off challenge is just laughable!
Surely most people on here have seen dozens of strikers playing for us over the years, this guy is way, way down the list of decent players in that role. If people are happy for him to be in the team then they must be easily pleased!!

If Tilson had stayed and signed Corr & Sturrock jnr then at least 3/4 of the support would be ripping up their season tickets, starting Tilson Out campaigns and other various negative actions.

and somebody with the awareness of him is far more important to me than some flash pr1ck who can beat a few men, fall over etc. He wont score that many goals but dont underestimate what he brings to the overall package
For anyone that really understands football ... Blair Sturrock is a players player
he has a touch, an awareness and an understanding of the game.
Most of the drivel posted on here against him is completely unfounded by people who dont know the game.
I have been managing for 7 years now, and somebody with the awareness of him is far more important to me than some flash pr1ck who can beat a few men, fall over etc. He wont score that many goals but dont underestimate what he brings to the overall package
