Ric Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 2 minutes ago, sergie's no1 fan said: Jordan Jones was the sort of player we should have went for, didn't work out sadly. He hardly kicked a ball all season when we signed him, that's the risk you take in January. Never looked fully fit and confident. Maybe with a good pre-season under his belt he'd no doubt be an asset in this league. What was the script with Jones, I never kept up with it and he seemed to disappear from the team sheets. Just injury? Thought he did well when he played though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely doesn't fit his 3-5-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Saintsible Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 2 hours ago, Buddiesaint said: If he's going to continue to play wide right, he'll be competing with Jay Henderson on the right wing I am curious as to how people think he'd fit into a 3-5-2/5-3-2 if that's going to be our default - will he take one of the front 2 spots and just naturally play the role wider, or will he take the wingback role? He played on the left of a front 3 in a 4-3-3 formation at Morecambe under Robinson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may go with 4-3-3 once he gets some of his own players in 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been working fine the past few games to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Not going to lie, I always prefer a back 4. Problems with it? Sure. Will it succeed against the top teams? Nope, but we won't be playing them. All in all it just feels more "natural" to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Saintsible Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 With Curtis Main hitting the post tonight, surely time for @Ric to withdraw his criticism If we include the goal he almost scored at Parkhead, that’s nearly 3 league goals he might have had this season (if he’d scored the 2 he didn’t score) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 So, one relatively meaningless fixture to go to kill off this season. We've had plenty of ups and downs this year but happily our Premiership survival has been achieved, and we live to fight another Premiership season. Now there'll be a few weeks holiday followed by a massively important close season for Steven Robinson, since potentially we will be faced with an even tougher league next season with Killie likely to be stronger than woeful Dundee, and surely Aberdeen and Hibs can't be as shit as they've been this season. So player recruitment will be key. But how many recruitment mistakes have been made in the past because recently incoming managers have the unfortunate habit of signing players they have worked with previously ? And how few of these recruits have transitioned successfully into our first team ? For example, I'm thinking about Danny Lennon's glut of signings from Cowdenbeath. Darren McGregor (a success) and umpteen duds. Or Jack Ross's influx of Alloa signings. Any successes there? So far SR has lined up four new players for next season, two being ex-Motherwell and one ex-Morecambe. A familiar pattern? Who knows, these might all turn out to be cracking signings (here's hoping), but I'm already concerned that we are fishing in a smaller pool than we ought to be. I hope the rest of our signing targets are more imaginative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you might be meshing together Alloa and Albion who we signed both Ross Stewarts from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
