grumswall Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 He maybe has never been the main striker before was he not classed as a wide player at hibs ? He definitely plays better in a 2 than as a solo striker I think that's the problem with gullan. He obviously has talent but no one has figured out what his best position is or how to use him effectively. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teaming him with Vaughan would seem to be the best we’ve see, so that favors him in a two up top or ST/SS pairing…something Murray doesn’t seem enamored of based upon his time at Airdrie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in a 4-2-3-1 illegal could play in the 3 behind or Murray’s plan is to persevere and coach him into being a cf , time will tell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted one was the 5-1 demolition of the city folk but I can't really remember any other games where he's looked the part in that role either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrush1471 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Jamie Gullan has only looked good when we were in league 1 or when up top with Vaughan, but imagine most players look better in those situations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, yes…2/3 games is all we seem to see of Vaughan these days. Let’s just hope that they’ve figured out a way he can play and not do it again! What I do recall about Jamie is him looking comfortable sweeping in from just wide of the D and shooting, while he often (not always, I know) simply seems to disappear in the goal mouth stramash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been at best decent beyond a hand full of games above league 1 level. Again though, I think that's largely because no one can figure out where to actually play him to get the best out of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohnononowheredidRossgo Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Add 3 new signings (CB, LB & CF) and we will look a completely different team to just now, include Lang and Vaughan and we are a right good team with depth. Let's not slash our pants over a friendly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world we get two cbs, a lb and a St. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just watched Murray's interview and I think again he's saying the right things. Let's hope he can put them into practice. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride of Fife Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I know it’s not nice to discuss it really but this is surely Lewis’ last shot at being a professional footballer? As much as we all love him and want nothing more than to see him put his injury hell behind him… the odds aren’t in his favour and Murray would be foolish to be pinning much hope on Vaughan playing an integral roll to our season. Lang hopefully comes good but again, even if he is to get back to 100%, it isn’t going to happen overnight once he gets the green light to play again so we certainly need two new CB’s. Remember Berra struggled himself last season with one or two knocks and isn’t getting any younger either. It seems year on year we have the worst luck with injuries. To hear Spencer and Matthews are out for months too now is just shit. We clearly need one or two strikers in, expect they might be be from the loan route… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Our recent injury woes - Spencer again and Matthews - make me wonder again about something someone said earlier. If Spencer's injury is described by Murray as something which should probably have been looked at earlier, and Matthews needed surgery on a problem which was bothering him last season and no-one got to the bottom of, it arguably points a finger at our management of injury and recovery under McGlynn's reign. That in itself points toward training intensity, frequency etc, and I just wonder if some of our notorious bad luck wasn't at least in part, self inflicted. Be interesting to see how we fare this season, and how Falkirk compare. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
