Shadwell Dog Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 5 minutes ago, MrDust said: Reilly wasnt a St Mirren player when Stubbs came in. As said previously it's a free hit on Saturday, yep prize money greater for Scottish cup for an extended run but I don't believe the M&M future is dependent on that game, we still have a board that repays relegation with managers keeping their jobs and being allowed to spunk cash for promotion when they were previously out their depth. Hartley been the only time I've seen us be quick about a sacking, tho we were a laughing stock in TV, press and media about our comedy signings. If we are to change managers, then it should be after the Montrose game, whilst Jan window is open. We should have our feelers out now incase with no Rays please. Reilly was offered a contract by Ross. Ross left and Stubbs then took that contract off the table supposedly although he disputes that ,and so Reilly left. The Arbroath game is still important imho as a win gets the confidence up at least. Another defeat and it's not going to help get us ready for Montrose. I agree though I doubt they will leave after Saturday whilst we are still top of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I know this will get slated but I think Sammon would be worth a shot at left mid. He’s a shite finisher, however, he does still have good pace, strength and is decent with his feet. With Connelly being out, we really don’t have many decent options there so it could be worth a try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though I doubt they will leave after Saturday whilst we are still top of the league. The press had Ross taking Reilly to Sunderland so much so I thought he was there. In any case Stubbs wouldn't have any real reason to judge Reilly as player other than previous opposition. The cup game obviously has importance for form change but I don't think anyone would choose a win over Arbroath to league success, yep I want both but league first is key and as club we ain't that ruthless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had a few decent performances recently but still isn't the answer up top for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Mutch Mercer Hall Dixon Kelly Morrison Alston Gomis Telfer Francis Keena For me on Saturday, obviously assuming Keena's fit enough to start and Connolly's still out injured. Dowds and Sammon need dropped completely and I wouldn't mind seeing Francis get another shot at it even if that means he's the one played out wide left.

Shadwell Dog Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Miller in for mercer if you ask me. Telfer in the middle beside gomis and I'd keep sammon up front with Keena if he's fit. Wide left could be anyone. The options apart from Connolly are all shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Let's look on the bright side. At least this year's January window has so far been a lot better than last year's at this stage due to the simple fact we haven't sign da vita. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of sammon helping the left back out defensively doesn't fill me full of hope.I definitely agree with this. I was merely saying it would be something worth trying in our current situation. I would also be worried about Sammon supporting the left back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erty13 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I would go with Dowds as well. He is a far better passer of the ball and his link up play is better than Francis or Salmon. I think he was signed to partner Keena. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) I’d go Mutch Miller Hall Dixon Kelly Morrison Gomis Telfer Connolly Sammon Keena If Connolly is still injured I’d play Telfer there and Todd in the middle. Dowds is awful it’s like having a big coo upfront whereas at least Sammon is getting into the right positions, so Sammon just ahead of Francis for me.

Guest Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Not so sure I agree with, for me it’s exactly what we need. Tough ground but a tie we should be confident of winning. One of the days away sorely missed. Also a measure for all to see what response to a dismal last few games. I,ll take with a pinch of salt the earlier post about defeat and M&M walking. They should already be gone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarillo Bairn Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I'd go with giving Francis 90 mins on Saturday rather than the sub performance he been getting, cant be any worse than dowds and Sammon, he actually scored 2 goals same as they diddies and hardly played, if he shit he's shit, but with no reserves anymore, give him a chance in free hit off cup game, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I think Todd's technically good on the ball he just doesn't have any pace or power to go along with it therefore he's ineffective. Problem is we have so many midfielders that are bang average and don't actually contribute anything. Saturday for me is irrelevant it's Montrose next week that matters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oot_the_loop Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 If we don't have anyone to play wide left mid, pick a formation that doesnt require one. Given the same turgid pish we've seen last few weeks and the somewhat 'free hit' nature of a cup tie against higher league opposition, surely now is the time to try something at least a wee bit different? For what its worth, I reckon we have the players to try a 4-3-3, and I'd honestly like to see what Durnan can do in next to Dixon.

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 There’s been a lot of rubbish players we’ve had over the past few years. Whilst Todd is up there, he’s definitely the most boring as well. Doesn’t do anything, no desirable quantities, if he walked past me in the street not sure I’d recognise him. A symbol of the current team really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 These past few years has been awash with rubbish players, rubbish managers, rubbish board members. You’d be hard pushed to find any aspect of the club that hasn’t been rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
