pandarilla Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Think this is harsh tbh. On his game he sets the tempo for us, and his passing is fine for league one. However my favoured pairing would still be Docherty and Geggan. I've never seen Adams set the tempo. He's the muscle that sadly we often lack when he's not playing. In terms of his passing I generally get the impression he doesn't actually like the football. Again, not really a criticism as it's easy for teams to bully their way through games. And Doc sets the tempo...always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's strange at all. We train during the day when part-timers will be at work. As someone else said, Adams has the flexibility to attend Thursday and Friday or he wouldn't have been kept on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hursty Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Good point re: Harkins. I had been hoping he stayed but Moff and Moore up top with 2 from McDaid, Crawford, McGuffie and Forrest wide wins every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said not sure where he would have fitted in and his wage was probably a burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I would love to see a photo of him doing that again at the very end of the celebrations. On Harkins, I don't think we would have won that on Friday night with him in the side. McDaid showed all the skill that Harkins is capable of, but included work rate, pace and directness within that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Harkins? Are we still having that "debate"? The guy had no interest in playing for Ayr. His presence was absolutely toxic. Must have been soul destroying for the likes of Devlin to be running through brick walls when the 1st team coach can't even break a sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However my favoured pairing would still be Docherty and Geggan. I don't think there's any disputing that he's excellent at closing people down and injecting a bit of fire into the team. But I also don't think we should get carried away about his role in the team. I would absolutely want him in midfield for any game in which we're likely to be up against it and need to stop the opposition from playing through us. But I think any team with aspirations of winning the league needs to be able to dictate possession in the middle of the park in a bog standard league game more than we're able to with Adams in there. I genuinely don't think I've ever seen him successfully complete a pass that even I couldn't have pulled off, and he doesn't make himself available to receive a pass often enough in any case. I don't want this to seem like an attack on him, because he's clearly capable of being a big player for us and I'm glad we have him. I just don't think we should be relying on him in midfield as heavily to get us out of League 1 as we did last time, particularly when, as you said, Geggan (and possibly Crawford, depending on the context) would be a superior partner for Docherty.
