Sadly McGhee is not a good enough footballer. He deserved a place up to now going forward I would bench him. Goals win games and one thing Harrison has in him is goals from set prices etc. McGhee is average at everything. I would have Harrison third choice CH behind Dixon and McKenna (who is class) If we could only get a decent RB it would make the world of difference. My maw is more athletic than Kidd and a better paser than Muirhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My maw is more athletic than Kidd and a better paser than Muirhead. You’ve got to be kidding here? McGhee has been excellent in the previous two games. He’s not a right back in a million years but he’s definitely competing for one of the CH positions over Harrison. If we’re relying on Harrison’s goal threat to keep us up then we’re as good as gone. He’d cost us more goals than he’d score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'd certainly have Dixon as lcb and mckenna as rcb. Robson would be ok at lb if we get a decent player in front of him like Waddington on the right. Get in a decent rb and we're getting there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I think he just looks like any other championship centre half, he constantly gives possession away putting pressure on an already shite defence. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I suspect the back line will have McGhee as RB. I doubt he'd be walking out with the captains armband on currently if the intention was to bench him. Did he not play RB for hearts in their championship season? Also when we've gone to a flat back 4 have we not been taking kidd off and putting McGhee there? As much as I'd love to see a natural RB I don't think we'll see one this window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of former players it's interesting how in just about every position there have been guys who have the ability to weigh into our goals tally. My goalscoring team! RB Andy lawrie cb bomber brown cb. David mckracken lb luke leahy Midfield 4 babtie Alex Taylor Eddie may and lapaty up front stainrod Johnny Graham. We would maybe lose a few but it's a fifty goal a season team _that would be great to watch. Any improvements?

Rocco Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The new signings have already made a huge difference. I'm not sure how McKinnon is going to set up the team but given the signings so far I would guess we're going to start going with two up front and four at the back. Mitchell hasn't done much wrong in the last couple of games but the thought of him potentially getting injured and seeing Fasan in goal again gives me the fucking fear. Hopefully a new keeper is on McKinnon's shopping list. As much as I love Tommy (and don't buy in to most of the chat that he is a weak link defensively), Dixon has been very impressive so far and I'd be tempted to give him a run at left back in a back four. He can certainly cross a ball and is quicker than I was expecting. McGhee and McKenna have the potential to make a great partnership in the middle. To complete the new-look defence I would love to see us sign a new right back. An actual, proper right back. In terms of the other new guys, it's difficult to know exactly what McKinnon's plans are for them. I don't really see McShane as a goal-getter (5 for St Mirren in the Championship last season), so I'd hope we play a more attacking player in beside him. That could be Keillor-Dunne if Waddington and MacLean keep starting on the wings. Osman was clearly hugely lacking in fitness and match practice on Saturday and although he could be a good player for us I'm not sure we can afford such a luxury in the first team squad whilst he gets up to speed. I'd probably like to see us sign another attacking midfielder to give us another option in the final third. Even if we let go of a couple of players we've got plenty of cover in defense and defensive midfield. Hopefully an experienced striker is the final part of the #rayvolution New GK New RB McKenna McGhee Dixon Waddington Keillor-Dunn McShane MacLean Rudden New ST Subs: Mitchell, Robson, Muirhead, McKee, New AM, Lavery, Petravicius ps I've stuck Muirhead on the bench for his versatility but I don't necessarily prefer him to Brough, Harrison or Kidd. pps Hopefully Ciaran Dunne gets some more game time in the second half of the seasonI'd have Paton on the bench ahead of McKee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks that Kidd's fine for this level of football so therefore feels that he's a better defender than Robson which IMO just isn't true. Also I think everyone, apart from Capt. Obvious, would universally agree that Robson's the better going forward. The guy's a top class troll though, I'll give him that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robson is consistently targeted by opposition teams because he's defensively poor. Kidd is limited going forward but he doesn't make many defensive mistakes. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
