Bigbri Bairn Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Not unless he was using this game for fitness, think Serie A starts back later than us. Thought he could be a good partner for Ethan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Been surprised so far with how capable Mackie has been at centre half, was thinking that it was just a case of plugging gaps when he was there against Killie after the mention of defensive injuries in the pre-match interview however I wouldn't have any massive qualms with him playing there more regularly. Yet to see Coll Donaldson so not saying having him sit on the bench all the time, could very well be the case that Mackie is better at full back also however him being central certainly offers us a different dimension in allowing him to step out from the back and have one of our midfielders drop in to fill the gap left, something Heatherington had been doing a few times especially against Stranraer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t seen any of Mackie at Hibs or Raith but he’s a bloody unit of a boy. Will give us plenty options with even dropping into the left of a back 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his best position may be on the left of a three because he's maybe a wee bit too short to play as a conventional CH. I'm maybe biased though because I like McCann and also favour a 3-5-2. With the current squad it would make sense to go that way though because, as it stands, Williamson will need to play and I certainly don't want him at RB; would need to be RWB. If we could get someone who could actually defend at RB my opinion could change however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Whilst we're on about ex players Aidan Keena's on 11 goals in 19 games, current top scorer in the league. Seems to have found his hunger for the game again. Edited July 6, 2022 by FFC 1876 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Given McGlynn seems to clearly favour a 4-2-3-1 and we're rumoured to be after Kai Kennedy I doubt we'll see a 3 at the back this season. That being said we definitely need someone better at defending than Williamson if we're sticking with the 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Away from my usual nonsense posting, Yeats is apparently a right back. Wonder how he’d do there. Been fine in centre mid, and wouldn’t want to rely on him with him being that young in either position, but surely a better bet than Williamson? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always said that he looked like a natural goal scorer to me and I don't remember him missing many gilt-edged chances. I'd take him back anytime. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have the players to play that formation at the moment, certainly not in defence or up top anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do you get a bigger say in the clubs direction and who sits on the Board. You won’t get a better chance.
