Only way I can see two up top with Allan working is if we get a decent defensive mid in and find a way to get a diamond working. We try a 3-5-2 then I worry if how Horgan will cope with defensive duties as well, Boyle's seemed to cope okay with it in the past 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried three at the back before with Niall McGinn at wingback and it just didn't work. Think Horgan would be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horgan would be dropped and he was probably our best player second half of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be building a team around Horgan and Allan and not forcing two strikers in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudge1903 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I could live with your top target being just a squad player, if he isn't good enough I'm sure mcinnes will loan him out to you guys next season once you guys have another manager in throwing toys out the pram. Fancy Stephen gleeson and stevie may as compensation? Both could do with a club with less pressure. I heard Edinburgh has a nice castle and some juggling acts and museums. You guys might be able to entice them down for some milk tokens and some good skag. They'd need the skag to believe their career took a turn for the better. Nice Castle though, Stirling Castle is far better though don't you think? Sure you guys got a good look the other day.... Wonder if you guys could afford to sack heckingbottom or if it'll be another lennon situation. Will ask Santa if he will sort it for you guys by Christmas since we will be in lapland..... Rudolph the Red knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Heckingbottom was our second choice was that Mike Appleton wanted a decent payoff if he was sacked and Hibs told him to bolt. I've every confidence that Rod Petrie would have crafted Hecky's managerial appointment contract for optimal sackability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
