He has also started to look at a 442 more regularly so we might set things up like that again. I'd be dropping Robson for the at least the last two league games. I think Dixon is still our best option and I wonder about the reliability of Robson in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always seem to start conceding stupid goals when Dixon plays. Can see us sticking with Robson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy to see Robson given a chance but he has been horrendous of late, that doesn't help the team or the lad's development. I'm not surprised that McKinnon doesn't recognise this. I also think Ray must have caught Charlie Telfer in bed with his missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me of the last game that Telfer started where he was worse than anyone else who has played alongside Flood. He the best passer of a ball we have in defensive midfield.

Telfer isnt great imo, best passer, yes, but I think he's not getting amy game time as he's too wee and cant handle the physical side. Look at who Mckinnon plays or played there - Toshney, Allardice, Murdoch, Flood and now Kuate. All bigger and / or stronger. Not saying it's right, but it's what's happening.

Bluegrass Bairn Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 just reading down the last few reviews - "stupid goals" "horrendous" "a bit pish" "too wee" "can't handle the physical side" - you guys really should play Dixon, Robson, Telfer AND Allardice all together on Saturday. Happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I thought you were being serious. I don't think Telfer is brilliant but I think he's the best player to work alongside Flood in defensive midfield. He can pass, he can tackle, he has decent positional sense, can start an attack, and sometimes gets into an advanced position. He seemed to be dropped for no reason and if lack of physical presence really is the cause I think it's a mistake. Allardice has done OK for a young lad and I have not seen enough of Kuate to judge, but given what we have been fighting for I think dropping Telfer has been an error of judgement as has keeping Dixon out of the team when Robson's performances have dipped.

stumigoo Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It looks like it might just be that McKinnon doesn't fancy Telfer as a player. As another out of contract player it looks like he will be out the door in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much agree with you other than the tackling bit. I cant remember the last time I thought he got stuck in but he's hardly played in ages so that could be part of the reason! I'll admit to not being a Telfer fan in the slightest but I guess id have him there ahead of Toshney (who is a shitehouse), Murdoch (who's been excellent at right back) and Kuate (who's raw as hell and carrying a fridge on his back at the moment). I quite like Allardice but he dosent seem to cover a huge amount of ground and is inexperienced - but I'd go with him or Telfer with Flood. Also, as Allardice will probably be here next year and Telfer won't, thas probably another reason why he's not getting a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Telfer' best game for us this season was at East End Park when we were down to ten men in the 'three penalties' match. He was outstanding and showed a level of work rate that unfortunately we haven't really seen much of. I'm not sure what the situation with Flood is for next season but I'd imagine we will offer him a new deal. I think that McKinnon must prefer at least one of his defensive midfielders to be physically quite strong as we might see Flood being partnered with Allardice/Kuate (or some new 6ft8 signing in the summer).

cedrick1 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Looks like we're behind the goal this time pity last time was best view to watch a game I'd been in this year . Maybe it's the expected large travelling support ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
