kiddy Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Who is denny johnstone? Don't recognize the nameLanky donkey who used to play for Morton before moving South. Think he was injured for most of last season. If he can't get by any defender's, he could always change his name to Dunipace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee_bairn Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Photo up of the trialist striker as well who scored. Any ideas? Looks like El Bak to me but someone has said already it’s not. Edited July 6, 2019 by wee_bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 It's not El Bak, please no to Jarvis. I wouldnt hate the idea tbh. Assuming he comes fairly cheap. I think he has potential 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like El Bak to me but someone has said already it’s not. If it helps save a couple of pages of speculation, I'll supply that it's not El Bak, Joel Thomas or any of the other names mentioned anywhere. I doubt anyone on P&B will have heard of him. He played on Tuesday and has been part of the training since at least the swimming session last Saturday, which is the first time I saw him. I have no idea if he'll get a deal. He looked lively enough , as did many of the team. It was a far, far more encouraging performance than the garbage I saw a year ago in Wales. Don't want to put pressure on anyone but Charlier Telfer in particular looks a class act, with several of the others not far behind. There were quite a few spectators today so I imagine others will giver their impressions over the coming days. Although closed-door, there was nothing to prevent folk watching if they knew the location and KO time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robson would've been ideal for us this season, 3-5-2 for me was the way to go. I'm not being all big time Charlie but most teams will sit in against us both home and away and playing a 4-2-3-1 is wasting a couple or more of players. 3-5-2 has that spring to be attack attack attack and reverse defend when needed. 4-2-3-1 has 2 sitting mids scratching their baws against most teams who will have 1 up top. A big call for Ray but as many will know, I don't think 4-2-3-1 is required for this league, it's too safety first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of the formation in theory I believe is to allow the triangles to be made easily to be able to pass thrpugh the other team. You need playmaking from the 2. If you sign cloggers to go in there and just defend then it wont work. McShane fits the bill well but you still need some ball winning in there. Gomis? Jobby McCall imprinted 3 5 2 in my mind forever as my favourite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby McCall imprinted 3 5 2 in my mind forever as my favourite 4-2-3-1 is a game of chess at the top level at our level turns into defensive pish. Formations don't win leagues at our level or the level above for me, tactics do The McCall season u speak about convinced me to 3-5-2, tho don't think we have had a manager who has implemented it to similar effect since then. We need to be on the front foot, 4-2-3-1 is being cagey and all McKinnon for me. I hope he has the McCall effect on me but to do it at league one with the biggest budget doesn't make him a tactical genius or a top manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
