He'd waltz in to our midfield and in all honesty we haven't had a CM as good as him since he left. He did a good job in the middle of the park for Queens and agree he’s never really been replaced. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still get rid even if he manages top spot. Agreed. He has to go even if we win this shitty division. He's fucking clueless. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity check needed. Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Think mcshane helped pick you the tempo again last week when he came on and having players out wide definitely helps.Any off our midfielders playing in a central 2 should do a good job it's when we have 4 players all playing in the centre circle which McKinnon seems to love away from home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes the kind of player where if he can take the ball, see options, and release it to them he will look decent. Last week he had willing runners out wide and Doyle looking to go beyond Connolly, as well as McMillan who seemed keen on ball to feet too. Compare that to when he takes the ball when we are set up like Clyde away.... He takes it, the only pass open is a 5 yard sideways effort to Tidser or Gomis, rinse repeat. We get bogged down. We have to be brave enough to take the chance of being overridden in the middle of the park, in order to commit bodies going forward and say we trust our defence and we will outscore you. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kevin Keegan at Newcastle approach, indeed we should dust that strategy off. Looking at league goals conceded it’s not as if we are shipping goals and need to be cautious. It’s not that hard either to have a system that makes a midfielder drop deep when defenders commit forward either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Tam Scobbie slumming it on the Kelty bench tonight. Whilst I was delighted we didn’t sign him in the summer still thought he could actually get a game at a higher level than that. Unless of course he’s in the same sort of wage bracket as Fash, Reilly, Easton etc.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Tomorrow is a must win even this early in the season. If we don't get the away wins started then it will become a problem for the players mentally. Go for it boys 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wullie robb Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I'm totally sick of hearing about McKinnon. At the end of the day this team should come back with 3 Points today no matter who is in charge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is if the manager has them playing and training in a certain way that doesn't create chances they won't score goals, it's really that simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 He played as a trialist for East Kilbride not long before signing for Kelty. He put in one of those hard to watch performances in the 6 (six) 1 game. Sibbald and Longridge in particular really ripped the pish right out of him. It wasnt Crunchie on Naysmith, but Scobbie really did look shot to pieces in that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Enough of this tedium about the silly little inconsequential matches that take place at this level. What's the latest regarding the shyster attempting to get control of your club? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
