Proudtobeabairn Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Keena back up top should see us convert more chances. Sammons general play has been greatly improved but isn't a great finisher. His two chances on Sat should have seen at least one hit the net (or at least on target). Not convinced Connolly will add much tbh though will be a better option than Leitch. I do think Telfer deserves a run based on his appearances from the bench so far this season. Todd remains a bit of a mystery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd remains a bit of a mystery. leitch is a tricky one as he's obviously far more suited to play on the right but isn't going to get in front of Morrison. If I was him I'd be spending all week using my left foot . Telfer is pushing Alston for the other midfield slot. It's whether you keep playing Alston to give him as much game time as possible or play telfer and perhaps see Alston continue to struggle for form off the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kircer bairn Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I actually thought Alston played ok on Saturday 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Alston whilst a long way from being his best is still looking dangerous around the edge of the box. Can see him getting amongst the goals soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knee jerk reaction Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I thought the midfield struggled on Saturday, Alston and Leitch were anonymous. Hopefully Alston can get back to how we know he can play and Leitch has been ok but got to agree Connolly would be 1st choice. I also thought we did better up front and at the back on Saturday, Hall come onto a game and Sammon did well. Good performance considering our best player so far this season (Morrison) had probably his worst game for us. We've still players to come back so a win on Tuesday would set up the cup game nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS he won’t add much? last season he was our best player outside McManus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the only willing late runner into the box in the team then. Should pose a real threat in the current side as teams will have more to think from our midfield about than last season with Alston and Morrison in the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how differently people can see a game.... I probably didn't put myself across to well in that post. I didn't think Morrison had a bad game or was poor just that I thought he didn't play as well on Saturday compared with his other games for us where he's been excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe , just maybe , Alston is no longer the player we remember. Which might explain why he's no longer wanted in the top league and now in Div 3. Hopefully as you say , that's not the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd still expect him to be a cut above the majority of players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be doing better but he wasnt always a steady 7 every week last time around, he had purple patches where he could do no wrong and I am sure a purple patch will be along soon hopefully but his career at St Johnstone and Hamilton was pretty much the same. I am confident he will help us massively but if we are to win the league this season, it will be Morrison, Keena or Connolly being more productive over the season. I still laugh at the game where he Houston didnt want to sub either Alston or Sibbald in a game and ended up playing both them down the right hand side to get Hippo on the left handside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best attribute was always his finishing. We need to get him in positions to use that more often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored half his league goal total for us in one season, the only season he got double figures. If you are a goalscoring mid you have to hit double figures each season. Like many I bet, I can't recall many Blair Alston tap ins, tho do remember a header I think. The goal he scored for Hamilton was a worldy, many of the St Johnstone ones were too and a lot of his with us were and that is one of his main attributes. I'd take a similar one like his worldy against Rangers on Sunday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I'd happily start Todd in the middle with Alston. Miller and Gomis are both fine but at 33 and 35 neither are exactly spring chickens, both prone to the odd poor game. Especially at home I think Todd offers us more of a goal threat. He should never play wide left though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
