Next week I'd start the way we finished today (other than Baird) and at least have a go. If we start the usual way then we will be a goal or 2 down at HT anyway so why not at least try and be winning. With Smith McInroy in middle, Ashford O Connor wide and Tomi Bryden up front we actually looked a good side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t good enough to pass our way through teams but we have the potential to put pace on the game and get runners going on the flanks .

It was really a combination of different things that saw our improvement, playing Tomi gets the best out of everyone around him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, there is a balance and playing without any defensive players whatsoever in midfield is far too much. All we need to do is have two more defensive midfielders to allow three in behind a striker to make things happen higher up the pitch. All about the balance and Bullen hasn’t found that yet. I would be going either 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Edited April 9, 2022 by No_Problemo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excellent 2nd half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to the 8 year old I got talking to after my 6 year old at his first ever game started chatting to him. "Aye Tomi has tried a bit more recently but he's been BONE IDLE all season, useless". 8 year old coming out with that quote haha. 8 year olds are meant to love big strikers that score goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 [emoji23] learned behaviour and all that! Tomi’s absolute is wonderful to watch when he is at it, and people get close to him. His performance in that 2nd half was absolutely brilliant it's says a lot when there is a thread on here about players you would take from other teams and 90% of the posters say they would take Tomi, we need make sure if he stays in Scotland next season it's with us. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be difficult to make him stay . These are the guys everybody wants . Look at the difference Lafferty has made to the pot lickers . Worth every penny of his £7k a week . We have to do likewise with Tomi . Pay him his worth . If he had went to QoS last summer we’d be down already . The Jags fans seem to want Cammy Smith out the door , if McCall thinks the same then I’d be grabbing him for no10 and pushing Sam wide and Fraz onto the bench to build his minutes up . All of that of course depends on us getting Tomi fixed up . Loads piling in on Maxy today , the boy is a left wing back that comes with goals . He’ll score an important one before the season is over . Boy deserves a break , remember he’s only 20 . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Those who criticise Tomi are utter brain donors. All supports have them but we are burdened with more than most. Once Tomi was on the aimless punts actually had a focal point. He brought people into the game. Tomi & Daire coming on changed the game. Fireman Sam was much more effective on the left than Maxwell. A few players who should not start a game from now on in: Mckenzie Maxwell (unless at left back - sorry Paddy) Kenyon (Grant Gillespie 2.0) Houston (play anyone else at right back) That first half really was as bad as anything we witnessed this season. My prediction for the Aumedia post match interview: "Well Lee, a tactical masterstroke from yourself at half time earning a hard fought point. Unlucky not to take all three." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Paul Smith play when he came on? Was Kenyon injured when he came off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the ball in right areas and helped Daire a wee bit out wide. Not the most subtle though. Very obviously tried to take a swipe at an ICT player and just missed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith did pretty well. Kenyon was miles off the pace and if I’m honest looks seriously out of condition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Smith did well when he came on. Tidy in possession and nipping at the oppositions heels. He got a booking for persistent fouling, it was a bit harsh. Kenyon didn't look fit to me and didn't contribute anything all game. His shadow was close to an opposition player a couple of times but that was about it. I'd start Smith ahead of him tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) It beggars belief that O’Connor hasn’t even been given time off the bench to impact things over recent months, given the type of player that he is. He is an instant improvement on McKenzie - and I’m not having this nonsense about McKenzie’s work rate. He is positionally poor defensively and O’Connor works hard too. It absolutely has to be Ashford and O’Connor either side of Tomi for the rest of the season. And yes, that is harsh on Bryden - but he has earned his place as the go to sub from that bench now though. I just think the balance goes too far the other way if you play the four of them, and it doesn’t get the best out of McInroy either. The only issue is who the midfield three are, when Dempsey is out. I would have Maxwell and Smith before Kenyon now. ETA, despite saying this - I am now thinking about just going balls out 4-4-2 in the last three games if Dempsey is out Edited April 9, 2022 by No_Problemo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
