It would be a low risk move, get him in on essentially a trial, possibly even without paying much in wages and see how he looks at that level. He's clearly got no future at Celtic so might as well train with QOS to see if he can land a deal for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM_1919 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 That's my thoughts also. Only reason I can see us bringing in a centre mid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 If he doesn't play 2 up front then he should drop Dobbie. No idea who the lone striker should be. Lyle gives you more in terms of holding the ball up and bringing others in to play, and is possibly a more clinical finisher. Dobbie creates a lot more though. Hilson would give you the option to exploit any space in behind with his pace. ETA: Dobbie has 12 goals from 80 shots in the league, Lyle has 9 from 33. Lyle's minutes per goal is also better by 42 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Might mean Thomson out wide for the rest of the season, which isn't really the best use of his talents but I suppose it's slightly better than attempting to give Dykes a concussion from every goal kick. Being a regular on the godawful Alloa relegation squad last season isn't a promising sign but if he's terrible then we shouldn't be lumbered with him for particularly long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Welcome to Connor but I hope Naysmith's not contemplating dropping Jacob's to accommodate him along side Rankin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Welcome to Connor but I hope Naysmith's not contemplating dropping Jacob's to accommodate him along side Rankin. My thoughts exactly. If he thinks Jacobs is a player needing replaced then I'm moving further towards the 'Concerned' area. Also had to giggle at his quote on the official site when describing McManus: "...likes to get the ball down and pass." Couldn't help but wonder why Naysmith has went in for such a player given his current tactics! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this means that our current launching is more a question of just happening, rather than of design. The fielding of Dykes would point to the latter though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield 53 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 How long is Naysmith under contract for ?. Can he keep us up not looking good just now heading for the playoffs but at the wrong end of the table.!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenslad Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 One of the problems is by this time of season we have played each other 3 times and each team knows the other so well they just cancel each other out. I had same thought last week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneeuq Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The table looks dire. Still to play Hibs, Falkirk and D Utd. Feel we need another 6 pts but not sure where the next pts are coming from. Slowly sinking in that we may well be playing in div 1 next year. Not sure how we've got in this mess with some of the players we've got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
