Been going too long Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I think with the squad as it is he should play a 4-2-3-1 v Dundee with Jammer Millen Nolan Dick Ngwenya Brown Stanton Connolly Easton. Ross Connell then you can sub on Dario, gullan and arnott who could actually make an impact. Going forward there is more scope to change things with Brad/rossco back soon( Stanton dropped) Connell played on his own up top at EF and maybe we can get Easton freed up to create 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) We need an experienced centre back end off. This will give a bit of confidence to the rest off the defence, someone for Nolan to play next to and learn from. It will also enable us to play Brown in the sitting midfielder role where he is desperately needed as Matthews and spencer are the only other options there neither of which is fit. It will also allow the players forward of this to play in their more natural positions. It might cost money but we need to pay it. As for the Poplatnik debate he actually scored goals, I don't see any goals coming out this team at the minute.

Ideally we will sign a centre half so that Dick doesn't need to play there. The players we have don't suit his 4-4-2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to find at this level but like you say, necessary. Listening to the k107 interview and genuinely struggle to understand some players. "I don't want to leave my home town." Or "I don't want to play on Astro". Absolute children's stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) My mate who is a pars season ticket holder ( I know I know) said efe Ambrose was solid in that he won headers/tackles well but was just with the ball at his feet, saw Ambrose was watching the accies game yesterday but he is experienced and when Nolan gets up to speed you would imagine he will be better with the ball considering he has been coached abroad. We might be worth getting him in on trial ( can’t believe I’m suggesting this) he is physical and experienced or did anyone see the Hartlepool score yesterday there might be some Scottish players available in January if things continue Edited July 31, 2022 by Been going too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped24 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Time to drop Stanton- he’s been at fault for goals against Stirling, gave away a pen against Aberdeen and massively at fault for 2nd goal yesterday. Looks decent on the ball at times , but how many games have we won since he’s arrived? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we don't need to drop him, we need to use him in a position he's comfortable in and not the holding midfield role with no support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board are defiant that they won’t back the manager. Losing our whole defence is the biggest crime of the season. If it’s true that guys won’t come because of this and that, then we’ll be in a real fight for survival. I know I’m maybe over reacting. But the proof is in the pudding. Struggled badly against Dumbarton and Stirling Albion in competitive games, and now in the league. We can’t rely on the long term injured coming back to save our season. That’s like a how many games till injury bingo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he did was slide in to try to retrieve someone else's cock up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not his position? Assumed it was due to him always playing there. He’s played 15 league games for us- we have won 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Stanton is one I'm very much on the fence with. He has been played out of position andeft exposed by others around him. Yet on the other hand he was in the team for most of the time he's been here and the amount of games he's been influential in or gripped up are minimal regardless of position he's played in. The guy is a good technic football player but there might be a reason he's kicking about with us and I just don't see us getting fhe best out of him especially not at the minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Just watched the highlights and the problems areas are there for all to see. The board have to address the problems that they created. Either they spend money to strengthen what could be a good team or try to get others involved, like outside investment……oh wait the Emperor chased away the good people didn’t they. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Ambrose?! Do you guys miss us already or something? He'd be an awful, awful signing. His legs are done that I genuinely think he'd struggle at League Two level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always next quarter Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Realistically how many centre half's of the type we need are still hanging around? A young loan player won't cover the profile and we have no money to take a player who another team might want to cash out on. Cove had 4 of these type of lads available to them. Christophe was that guy for us and we are now left high and dry. I assume Christophe was advising IM on Who to keep and hence 3 Centre half's left. Its only good business if you release and replace with better quality. We are considerably worse of at present. Post match interview was really interesting as there is an obvious difference in reaction to McGlynn. Wonder how players will take to this message. However its not just reaction needed it's recruitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
