Harry Kinnear Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 15 minutes ago, FFC 1876 said: Donaldson's one yellow off being suspended, if it is still 5 these days. With Queen of the South & Dunfermline being our next two games after Kelty that's a worry. As some have mentioned I thought the subs killed off the game last night. Didn't obviously matter in the end but it would have been nice to add another few goals. Even at 3-0 we could have trialled Alegria and Burrell up top together especially with Alegria on a hatrick. I would hate Donaldson to be suspended for the Pars game, I would rather him be out for QOS if he has to miss either. I love the way he reacts to goal scorers during the celebration, he seems to be giving them a right good amount of praise, seen him do it a few times now. Team spirit looks excellent just now and that’s down to McGlynn and Smith. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy1876 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Losing Donaldson for the Pars game would be devastating, he carries that back 4. No disrespect to Henderson and McCann who are both excellent but feel like Col is the leader that makes that back 4 so solid and fluid together. Would hate to lose that especially for that game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who told me apparently knows his dad. Absolutely zero idea or confidence about how true this is or isn’t. Would be a bit mental signing another left back given we already have 3 as well as Henderson who can play there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also apparently he’s not a left back but a winger however Brendan Rodgers tried to convert him. Again, we have McGuffie and Kennedy for that. Other interested clubs are Morton and Dundee. Like I said, it could all be total crap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Aye thought the subs disrupted the side more than improved .Didn't really see the point in bringing yeats on in a more advanced midfield role. I'd have rested him completely and given lawal more gametime to see what he can do. Hetherington brought on to shore the midfield up but if anything we were far more open after that. Alegria excellent at holding the ball up but that isn't burrells strength he needs it over the top but we seemed to keep playing as if alegria was still on. A couple of better finishes and better decision making with the final ball and we'd have got a few more. Mcguffie trying to beat the defender with two players open on each flank was so bloody wasteful. Comfortable win. Special mention for yet another abysmal man in the middle. Even in games where they have little to do they seem to be able to feck up completely the few decisions they have to make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabba Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Calvin Miller was a very decent player when he was young. He’s still only 24 and would’ve been part of the youth setup at Celtic when McGlynn was there. If McGlynn thinks he improves our squad then I’d be inclined to trust him at this stage, his signings have been good so far. I would think we would need to get some players out to afford Miller’s wages 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I don't think McGlynn will be in the market for any more defenders tbh. We've basically got two competent backs 4s already in [McCann, Donaldson, Henderson, Yeats] & [Sneddon, Mackie, McKay, Williamson] + Paul Watson, with a number of players that can play 2 positions so plenty of cover. I'm happy with the squad we've got but if McGlynn can work his magic to bring in another winger/ striker to give us another option that would be great. With the Pars and Airdrie running such small squads at the moment you'd imagine both will be in a position to strengthen in January 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Miller can play on the wing so perhaps another option to cover McGuffie of someone on the right who can cut in. He’d probably get a championship gig with being at Celtic sure someone would take a gamble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing the difference having an actual football manager who knows a bit about tactics, formations and substitutions can have. It's mental to think that just last season we had absolute weapons say that Sheerin and Rennie needed more time and that they would turn it around, even as it was becoming more and more obvious after each game that they were hopelessly out of their depth and incapable of turning it around. Mind someone on here saying Sheerin should get a contract extension after 4 league games, while another was worried Aberdeen might swoop for Rennie This thread is always entertaining, if nothing else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with Sheerin there was the odd sign of hope, followed by large quantities of incompetence - along with Holt jobbying up behind the scenes it was a recipe for disaster. Ended up on a win percentage of 35% Rennie was backed well and picked his own players in January, did even worse at 29% The vast majority of the players clearly weren't trying a leg and that was probably the biggest failure of both. Though signing guys like Jamie Wilson & Sammy Ompreon or ATS and blowing 3-4 wages on Leigh Griffiths clearly didn't help McGlynn has come in (worth noting only 6 of his new signings actually started last night though the other 5 on the bench all look good/ able to contribute) and his is 53%. Or 60% excluding those first two games. As you say it has been night and day having someone in charge that can actually motivate players, recruit well and set out a game plan. Long may it continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Saturday will be a test of our character. The worst result of our season so far in my opinion was at Keltie.

You'd think having scored a banger the Saturday before he'd have been willing to shoot but seemed hesitant. His teammates couldn't have complaints had he attempted to recreate his last at any point last night. Ach, well! Splitting hairs tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
