Chris Vessey: He was good in glimpses but hasn’t been given a decent run in the side to show his worth. Was a shock selection at Wembley and had a good game. He seems to have upset our manager, being hauled off against Barnet after 35 minutes for ‘not listening to instructions’ (he had scored to put us 1-0 up and was playing well when subbed - we drew 1-1) and hasn’t had much of a lookin since save for Gateshead on Saturday when he was played out of position.

Cambridge and Falkirk fans Falkirk manager Gary Holt on the Mark Beck signing: “We have watched Mark’s career develop and, at 6 feet 5 inches, he will add a new dimension to our attack. For his size, he is very mobile and a remarkably good footballer, and I’m sure the fans will take to him quickly.”
Denton: I think he’s a one trick pony easily readable by a decent defender, gets the ball cuts inside and then either shoots or loses it much like Andros Townsend. dylan: I don’t think Money’s forgiven him yet for conceding the free kick that led to Grimsby’s second in the league game at the Abbey. davestacey: It was an utterly ridiculous and unecessary challenge. But still, he should be playing. Psaw: The reason Gillies hasn’t played much is because Money plays elephants on the right side of midfield for their physical presence. Money is not playing proper football – he’s playing hoof-ball. Gillies can play and is talented, but he needs the right team and manager.

Ranaldo Bairn: I think at first everyone was obviously keen to give him a chance, but the first couple of appearances were, shall we say, ‘unconvincing’. Fans were concerned about the apparent change in style made to accommodate Mark and Joe Chalmers, on loan from Celtic, into the team. However since he scored his first goal (in an abject 1-3 defeat at Hamilton) he’s improved leaps and bounds. He’s started winning pretty much every header, which he most certainly was not doing at first, and has struck up an excellent partnership with Rory Loy. He’s up to 3 goals now, with a vital winner at Dundee thrown in along with a nifty lob at QOS two games ago. He never truly threatens the goal enough for my liking, but he’s become a vital part of the team recently and deserves his place in it. Back Post Misses: His major influence in the team now is his hold up play allowing the rest of the side to get up around him. His touch is good and he is bringing people into play well. Add that to his power in the air he is now a vital cog in the wheel. Other sides have really struggled to cope with him in recent weeks. The Dundee coaching team raved about him apparently.
