Duncan Freemason Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 3 hours ago, Syd Puddefoot said: Now out to 12/1 to win the league. Bookies must have been at game on Saturday. Given Saturday’s performance (particularly the first half), and given the lack of goals in the team regardless of the opposition so far, 12/1 seems like quite miserable odds to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hope its a fast striker to play off Haber or Mackin. Don't feel we need another big lump.This won't be music to the ears of those wanting a RB but I don't mind McGhee there with Muirhead as back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Four strikers signed this summer, a new contract for O'Hara, Froxylias signed to play in the hole, Greenwood and Petravicius signed for the wings, and he's wanting another attacking player in. Meanwhile we have no right back in the entire squad. I must be missing something as it is such a glaring gap to me. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Bilko Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Unless it's a proven goalscorer which I would doubt, surely Lewis should be getting the chance to play up top with Haber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Let's round off the first half with positions 27 and 26 Here we have two recent players who gave their all, and both notched 36 goals. We all will have plenty recollections of: Darryl Duffy John Baird. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Bins Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hope to be proved wrong but after seeing him 3 times in the flesh this season can’t see how Paton is an improvement on anything that has been binned or is the answer to our problems. I would like to see Sammut given a chance against Partick. Looking forward to Saturday and a few scoops down Byers Road and a much improved performance and a change in personnel in defence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Bins Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Dallison was extremely dodgy against ICT but I would still retain him alongside Aero for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paton is a solid if unspectacular option, he huffed and puffed a bit on Saturday but that was to be expected when we signed him. He knows his limits and so do we.

Barring a right wing-back, we have got a really capable squad to play a 3-5-2. Dallison with McGhee and Muirhead either side of him would allow us to mask the weaknesses of all three to some extent - Muirhead and McGhee can be physical while Dallison gets up to speed, McGhee and Dallison are comfortable with the ball at their feet which stops Muirhead having to play short, McGhee has two extra bodies to cover if he steps into midfield. Paton can offer some coverage defensively if the wing backs push on. Both Robson and Russell are decent footballers who can get up the wing. Haber is strong in the air and Lewis is quick. I think he'll go 4-4-2 again unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGhee has played there quite a few times and played well. There is absolutely no point in wasting a wage on a right back if that means Aero, McGhee, Harrison or Dallison will be a permanent fixture on the bench 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking back to Jan 2nd when the likes of Wedderburn were strolling 30 yards through our midfield, unchallenged. We've been crying out for an unspectacular midfield brute. He'll do the job we're paying him to do with the creative responsibilities resting on the shoulders of others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to have any particular strengths, or any actual strength for that matter. Hopefully he develops. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
