Moutinho Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 For me it’s got to be Gomis or Miller in centre midfield beside someone more attacking. Gomis seems like a waste of a wage- we could have brought in a cheaper backup to Miller and used the funds elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be far better than last season to beat partick to the title. The same midfield again won't cut it and was horrible to watch last season. Far too many draws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we came up against a clyde or airdrie with young vibrant midfields we struggled badly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll make 5 more signings- a back up goalkeeper, a right back, a centre back, a winger and a striker. The lack of pace in the midfield is what’s worrying me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of those young, vibrant midfielders has just knocked back an offer from Clyde, is a free agent and, like Dowds, looking for a crack at full-time. He'd make a huge difference to our midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller will be in centre midfield and hopefully if m&m have learned from last season not with Gomis. I've not really seen much of Todd to work out what his best position is but i'm pretty sure him and Telfer are pretty similar in that they aren't fast enough to be wingers and they are too soft to play in the middle of the park.

Shadwell Dog Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Miller is far too slow to play right back now ffs. We'd have been as well with doyle in that case. Gomis struggled to last 60 mins last season so should be an option off the bench and no more. We need a decent winger with pace and at least one younger centre mid . An attacking right back and a pure goal scoring type striker are also needed. Another centre half plus im not sure we should be relying on a young left back that got knocked back from our academy on a number of occasions and couldn't get a regular game for camelon last season as our only cover in that position. Cant see him being anywhere near ready for the first team. At the moment we're worse than last season so a massive amount of work to do still.

Guest Ecosse83 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Let's forget the idea of Miller RB, it's already been said in and interview the will be playing in front of the back 4. They might play Gomis and Miller together as sitting mids in some of the tougher away games, apart from that they shouldn't be in the same team! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's mcstay who there was some talk of us being after last summer which doesn't fill me with confidence given our signings last season were more miss than hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'd like to see some pace as well to be fair but if they can get them playing in a way with quick passing and good movement then that beats pace every time. We didnt have loads of pace in Houstons teams either. like you say, move the fucking ball and that does the trick. Move the fucking ball is surely in the top shouts at TFS in the last few years.... We have this long running theme of being ponderous as f**k in possession. I mention Houstons team because in his last full season we had the rage inducing habit of doing f**k all until after half time at which point we seemed to begin to shift the ball quicker and actually got somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Puddefoot Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Resigning Telfer is a waste of a wage. Midfield is key to everything and we have at the moment pretty much the same personnel. We can all see we needed youth and energy in there which at present we don't have . Dowds sounds promising but will need a decent partner and to hit the ground running. And he looks like Tim Nice But Dim. Edited July 20, 2020 by Syd Puddefoot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston had lots of pace throughout the team and signed loads of fast players- Hippolyte, Smith, Cooper, Austin, McHugh and Aird just off the top of my head. He also often played players with pace already at the club like Leahy, Shepherd and O’Hara. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I doubt we'll bother wasting a wage on a back up goalie so unless we pick up a really cheap option we'll most likely get one in on loan again. I'm happy with a Dowds type signing someone who's not the finished article but there's clearly potential there to develop on with full time football. Dundee United were brilliant at it for years picking up the hidden gems in the lower leagues that's what we need to aspire to as we don't really have the money or the position right now to bring players up from down south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
