Aye, someone (I'd guess @RandomGuy.) posted a heatmaps of Watt and Tierney a while back and they were pretty similar IIRC. I get the impression that Tierney is here more with a view to next season but bumping up the available subs means there's a decent chance to drip feed him into the side. He's still a slightly weird signing as to all intents and purposes he's a #10 (and we don't play with a #10) albeit Alexander was clear in pointing out that we actively target players who can play in 'at least' two of the roles we have in the team and swerve players who have one specific position. Short term I'd have thought Shields/Roberts are more likely to take up Watt's position on the left of the 3. Like others on here I still wouldn't be surprised to see another 'across the front 3' forward come in and tbf, while he said he wasn't looking at bringing a "direct replacement" in for Watt Alexander's press conference didn't rule out other players coming in.

Neil86 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Got a spare adult ticket for the well end obviously if anyone is after one, friend couldn't make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Whats the script with Slattery? Is he nursing an injury? I fail to believe anyone can look at our midfield options and decide Slattery isn't in the best three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Was coming on to say similar. I get not wanting to change a winning team or whatever but Slattery is better than Donnelly or Maguire by several orders of magnitude and it isn't really up for debate IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 GA not happy, relax at home, have a cup of tea, not during a game of competitive football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Often I wonder what life would have been like if I had skill, composure, ability, poise and speed and became a professional footballer. The lifestyle, camaraderie, remuneration (if you're good) and the opportunities are all aspirational. Then those thoughts are tempered with being on a bus for 4 hours down the A9 tonight with his seethe and rage down the front: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Still fucked off about the result but Alexander's word choice and inflection on "disease" made me laugh at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Enjoyed the thought of the team being on a bus with that version of GA for a few hoursSome goal by Roberts in a game we really should have taken something from, but we got what we deserved for the defensive lapses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 During the game I was thinking 1-1 wouldn’t be the worst result, a point on the road, continue a bit of form from before the break, cast away the cobwebs after 3 weeks of inactivity, get a good run out before the Morton game. A pipedream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm still fuming after last night. I'd be quite happy if Nathan McGinley never played for us again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RostokMcSpoons Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) GA seemed to be vibrating with anger during that interview. Does anyone know if the coach made it back in one piece? I fear there may be bits of vehicle and tattered remains of defenders all over the road...
