And if people think we're losing Campbell and then still want to bin Crawford then wow. Can understand what Martindale means about his "chasing" though, he suffered from that early with us but seems to have become a lot more disciplined recently. What's Forrest's contract scenario? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say I'd be building my midfield around him but from looking at the teams Alexander has been putting out it's pretty clear who he 'trusts' and who he doesn't - I'd say Crawford's the former at the moment. I would agree that he has been better on the whole than O'Hara. For me, O'Hara's best games are at centre-back or box-to-box midfielder, where it's more about athleticism than technique. I don't think he's a good enough passer of the ball to play as the defensive midfielder. I wonder if maybe he'll get a run as a box-to-box when Campbell is away next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest replaced Lawless at Livi when he went to Burton Albion. Martindale added that if anyone is to get the best out of Lawless it's important he is played on right wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I suspect Polworth's tea is oot unless he works some miracles between now and the end of the season. Our midfield is currently doing well without him, and since Alexander has come in he's sold the jersey's at Pittodrie as well as having a stinker against St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got Ian Vigurs syndrome in that he does well when the team does well but he completely disappears when things get tough.Must be an Inverness thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Polworth has already signed a PCA with either Inverness or Ross County. Robinson alluded to players signing PCAs in his leaving spiel and Polworth's recent tweets about his smile being back soon makes me think he might be one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfield is currently doing well without him, and since Alexander has come in he's sold the jersey's at Pittodrie as well as having a stinker against St Johnstone. I get that he's not for everyone but I'm loathe to go in two footed on Polworth as the drop off in him has been massive. It just seems weird. Whether he's had his eye on a move or maybe he's just had a shite time with lockdown there's clearly been something no' right somewhere as he's gone from one of our best players last season to borderline liability in games this season. As much as I'm a fan of his I'd agree that his tea's oot. Tbh, unless there's injuries or suspensions I'd be surprised if we saw much of him between now and the end of the season. For all Crawford's started 10 of Alexander's 12 games, Polworth started Alexander's first 3 games then that's been that after he was sent off at Pittodrie - suspended then unused sub in 7 games. He's not featured in any of the games we've won and putting in the performance he did in his one game back in the side against St Johnstone? Fucking hell.

Ron Aldo Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 On Polworth, I'm 99% sure I saw him driving through Ravenscraig in a '64 plate Ford Focus which had a wheel trim missing.I've seen a few of our players cutting about in Mercs etc. Maybe Polworth has chucked it because we clearly don't pay him enough? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wheel trims present and correct as far as I could see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I've never taken to Polworth, He was great on the ball but His set pieces were always dodgy, although we scored from a fair few. He always seemed to look busy bet never doing anything on the defensive side of things too. What is Yusuf Hussain's ethnicity? It's a wonder you don't see more Asian players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I should add I am a fan of Polworth. Some of his passing and assists last season were *chef kiss*. The drop off this season has been honking though. It could well be lockdown is a shiter for him. Or maybe he just can't be arsed anymore. Seems to have emptied his toys out the pram since we had to prove that Turnbull's knees exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
