FFC 1876 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Morrison's a better keeper for me, Hogarth's been solid enough but he has his moments. Both games against Kelty he let one go right through him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also flung a couple into the net, from what we did get to see of PJ I think he is the better keeper. Hopefully he’s back soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I liked PJ. Felt he was more willing to take charge of his box than Hogarth is. And if wer being honest, he's our player, he needs to be the one to prioritise for learning McGlynns methods, style of playing out, get up to speed and tuned in with our back 4 etc. Ultimately, it's a back 5 we need and a loanee shouldn't be given priority once our own guy is fit. different if Hogarth was markedly better but he isn't at all for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If PJ is fit then we need to get Hogarth back to Forest in January (if that's the deal) because we could presumably use the fee we're paying for him to get a RB or a striker in. No point in having two fit keepers of our own and playing a loanee, unless the loan is a considerable upgrade, which I don't think he is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Back Post Misses Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Both have not done a lot wrong TBH and there isn’t much between them IMO. I do think PJ has the better distribution. Hogarth is bigger but he isn’t our player so when PJ is fit I would prefer he got the nod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Puddefoot Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Paul Watson seemingly 'fit' for mid December according to McGlynns interview. With Donaldson, Henderson, McKay and Mackie could be Watson out on loan..would free up some wages hopefully. Can't see him forcing his way in after such a long period out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely rather have him at centre back than Mckay right enough though. Got to think your likes of Seb Ross and Blair Sneddon are chomping at the bit to leave and get some football. Whether anyone will take them is another question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best option would be sourcing an actual right back in January. We can't continue to play a centre back at right back especially in the games where teams are just sitting in with two banks of 5. 43 minutes ago, Back Post Misses said: He played there under Houstie a fair bit I get that but that was 6/7 years ago and I don't remember him being very effective in there back then never mind at 32 and just coming back from an ACL injury. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Watson and Mckay are the exact same thing at RB. I cant see one being markedly better than the other at it and both would represent some added defensive/aerial strength at the expense of attacking intent. I personally think the current version of Mckay might be the better CH option. Ultimately, Williamson and Yeats are better options at RB. And signing an RB at the expense of either of those two going on loan would be the best deal for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Yeah, I really liked him as a CH and his reputation for 'softness' is unfair. But no way should he be played at RB unless we literally only have 11 fit players. Bring back big Luca from the Canadian wilderness before you do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Didn’t think he was that bad at right back!Hes just the same as Brad Mckay though. Occasionaly passable but in the more important bigger games, where you need the balance and can't get away with a lopsided attack, it's not going to work. The two of them are about as I imterchangeable as it's possible for two footballers to be in this instance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 There’s definitely a sizeable wage to be freed up there in January if another club wants them. Can’t have 3 out of Donaldson, Henderson, Mackie, Watson and McKay sitting on the bench. Yeats has been our best right back this season imo, but was struggling at the very end of his run there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeats is better in midfield imo and I’d rather see him there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
