stan3600 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 After that excellent performance against Morton, Dick will have a selection problem next week. Both young full backs were terrific. It would be harsh to drop either of them.When everyone is fit and available it should be Ricky/TOB/Hammy at the back with Oakley and Hancock wing backs. Tait, Allan and Jacobs in midfield and “amazing new striker” and McKenna up front. (Sorry Hilson). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we actually have a squad to play a back 3 now and would like to see us try it but can't see us abandoning a tried and tested defence and formation. Hopefully that doesn't mean Hancock on the left wing though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I can suggest that another striker might be helpful, sorry to rain on your parade Genuinely think Hilson played as well as anyone we could’ve or could sign would’ve played today it was like he done all the good parts of his game well and actually added that final product / pass / finish. Shows you what a difference that can make to someone’s game. He was not only a nuisance but used the ball very well and really unlucky not to have 2 goals that one that was blocked on line was a great athletic effort from him and he was unlucky Also think it helped that we looked so full of energy today. Fullbacks to uptop, whole team looked fit and sharp and re energised. Breath of fresh air seeing Hancock and especially Oakley bombing up and down the wings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokies and fucking Wine. I don't think the criticism of Hilson is personal. I'm sure we all agree that he gives 100% whenever he's on the pitch, he can buzz about and annoy, and he very much puts in the hard yards. We all appreciate that in a player! He just almost never scores, and I absolutely would not have started him today. Its almost like the guy who has been a manager for decades knows a lot more than me about managing a football team. Absolutely delighted to be wrong, and I'm really happy Hilson got a goal! Mindless optimism time, but this is the best midfield we've had at the club, and maybe with all the chances they create, the confidence that he's getting a run of games and is the no. 1 striker, and finally getting amongst the goals, maybe we'll see a new and lethal Dale Hilson? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan3600 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 We are so funny. One swallow doesn’t make a summer and one goal for Hilson does not make him Lewandowski. We need another striker who can reliably score 12+ goals this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think anyone will be saying Hilson is Lewandowski and it’s one win but agree with 1320, our energy looked so much better. Nothing against Thomson and Hamilton when they play full back but the youthful exuberance of Oakley and Hancock adds a different dimension to the team. just to add , I thought Hamilton had the cigars out at centre back, didn’t put a foot wrong. Forget he had nearly a full season for us playing there a few years ago. Also though Morton were Pish so not getting carried away in the slightest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out wide not for me at all or on his own uptop nope. But he was excellent yesterday and deserves the praise he’s getting after that showing it was the complete all round striker performance something we’ve never ever seen from him. Telling you too that second would’ve been a cracker if it wasn’t blocked on the line he made that look so easy, which is so unlike him Morton were terrible yes but that yesterday was promising. I thought up until Allan sending off at Partick we were promising too and played it about a bit. Excited to see more of Oakley. With ToB and Allan back I’m actually confident we go to Cove and win, maybe misplaced confidence but it does feel like we’re getting there in terms of sharpness and energy etc that you need to compete at this level. After yesterday it might be misplaced confidence but that’s what being a fans all about 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtielegend Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Great result and by all accounts some good performances. Much needed after a slow start. I can see the argument for a back 3 of Hammy, TOB and Little but need to remember that it's not a case of simply putting them together and it will need regular games together. The rate of injuries/suspensions we're getting there right now, we might be better off with a pair at the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't.....was he really ? As welcome as it was to get yesterday's win, it just papers over the cracks that we still need a good goal scorer.

Tattie36 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Hartley will be gone soon from Hartlepool, if not this week coming then it won’t be long afterwards. I would imagine the new manager will get rid of a lot of the players too. Jack has barely had a sniff so would imagine he’ll be one of the players punted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
