Apparently there’s a CH that’s left Bradford coming in that’s what I’ve seen and heard anyway and plus a few danish players doing the rounds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been going too long Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Dan Cleary has just left St Johnstone, only joined them in January, he is an irish lad and is a defender so maybe signing for a club back home or you never know might rock up at the San Starko Edited July 27, 2022 by Been going too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be cynical, but if we play 3 back, would you consider Mullin or Dick/Young out of position on the right or left of the three? It still leaves a fullback at centerhalf (yes, likely Dick at the one true CH position….gives me the shivers thinking about it) but allows Brown to play a DM/Advanced Sweeper role he’s more suited to. If we are really bringing in the Aberdeen kid at LB, Dick is our CH through December, unless we sign a real surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We need centre half's for the positional sense if nothing else. Midfielders and full backs are okay as cover but they will get caught out time and again. Just look at Scott McTominey for Scotland ams the Ukraine game in particular. Liam dick is not the answer and pairing him with a young boy on loan is asking for trouble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are really bringing in the Aberdeen kid at LB, Dick is our CH through December, unless we sign a real surprise. I think you could just about get away with Liam Dick on the left hand side of a three, but only with two other dedicated central defenders. You can't play a back three with two full backs in it, it's a recipe for an absolute massacre. I don't know anything about this laddie from Aberdeen, but assuming he's more forward thinking than Dick, you could drop him in at left wingback and put Dick on the lefthand side of the three. But Millen would have to go to right wingback, which means you'd still be looking for two centre halfs before the game kicks off. Based on all the available information, right now I think we're looking at a back four of Ngwenya, Dick, Brown and Millen for Saturday. Which is... far from ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Jack D Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Sweating slightly that over 72 hours on from the interview where we were going to announce a couple of centre halves in the next 72hours, we have lost our only centre half and been linked to a 3rd left back. These pants are gonna be pished soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, yeah, but to be slightly more forgiving, he did say 72 hours for "some progress", and even if a deal has been agreed today it's probably tomorrow at the earliest before they're getting down to the ground to get some photos done for the announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting fed pish and have been now for about 3 weeks. No doubt if IM does a pre match interview we will get the same crap, expect news, I'm offered players daily, I need better than what I have, does he not realise we have NO CENTRE BACKS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that the one person who has the most to gain by bringing in new players is Ian Murray, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
