Bing Cosby Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 As good as Wallace was at his best, I think we miss his wind up merchant tactics as much as anything else. Someone to get in the faces of the opposition, earn some cheap free kicks, pat the referee on his back one minute, then give him a gobfull the next. This team is far too nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2020 Wallace scored some great goals for us, and always seemed to perform in the big games. Plus, he's responsible for one of the funniest moments of recent seasons... 5 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s6 owl Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 He was class but his time was up, that 1st season especially he was brilliant. One of the few players with the correct mentality too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 He gave the team a balance and was one of those players who knew what he was going to do long before he got the ball. We don't have any of those now. He was good, but not so good that we should fail to replace him in 2 years Maybe we're still hoping to find out what Adam Reach is supposed to be.

Errol Flashman Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 St Mirren have signed former Celtic and Sheffield Wednesday winger Ross Wallace until the end of the season. The 34-year-old, capped once by Scotland, arrives in Paisley as a free agent after leaving Fleetwood Town at the start of September. He made four appearances as a substitute in August for the English League One side. "Just having someone with his experience around is great," manager Jim Goodwin told the St Mirren website. "He can play in midfield and at left-back. People will be used to him playing in more advanced areas but he actually played a lot with Fleetwood Town last year in the middle of the pitch. He's a very calming influence in there, keeps things nice and simple and reads the game well. "He's still got bags of quality as well." Wallace, who also played for Sunderland, Preston North End and Burnley, spent time training with St Mirren in November. "That was purely for training, it wasn't a trial period," Goodwin explained. "At that moment in time we didn't need anybody but then obviously losing Kyle Magennis and Ryan Flynn, along with Ross still being available, convinced us to get him in. It's vital that we have enough to get us through the season. "Fitness-wise he isn't going to be where we want him to be at the moment but we will work with him over the next few weeks." Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Maguire was the only other recent exponent of that part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Wallace was a lad who was willing to take a bit of responsibility on the pitch. We haven’t seen enough of his type of character in the last 25 seasons. Edited February 11, 2020 by Big Rons Hairspray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torres Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Reach was his next in line when we signed him. On paper a better, younger, more athletic version The difference being - Wallace had the guts for a fight, the will to win and would make sure he did as much as he could to do so. Reach doesnt have these qualities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach doesnt have these qualities As much as I liked Wallace he did go missing during the game if things wasn't going his way. But like Hooper, Joao and Matais they have either not been replaced or been replaced by better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
