Brandon was just atrocious from start to finish. Did not put one foot right all game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i8hibsh Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Jamie Brandon wants out For him to even get a game for Kelty Hearts would be a Jim'l'fix it job yet he wants away from the biggest club he will ever play for.

He should at least be starting to show signs of his quality and put things together by now. And it's an even less valid argument when you've got a 17 year old on the other side putting him to shame. One of the worst players I've seen in maroon for a while. Really, I take it you are quite young? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morph Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 He's just not very good. That's the way these things are, some youth players just will never make the grade. He looked decent when he first came on the scene but he's not shown that level of performance in a while. We're thin on the ground with quality at full back, i'd rather see Hickey in there if he's comfortable on his right. Not sure about Aidy white yet but he's easily a better option down the left than Brandon is the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regretfully too many are not interested in giving the young man a break, they prefer to partake in expressing their negativity at the expense of others. I wonder how they would react if people expressed their opinion on their work performance in this way, they may consider it to be libellous. It's a matter of time until a player takes legal action over the things that people express on forums like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Nothing against Brandon but I really don't know what Dikamona has done wrong. He made one bad mistake against Aberdeen (having had virtually no game time pre-season) but has generally been pretty solid either at RB or CH.

JamboAl Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Brandon did OK on Sunday but I often wonder if RB is his position. One plus factor is his speed.
