1320Lichtie Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Agree with both points but overall he had a poor game, can't give McKenna credit for that Wallace lob, it was great work from him but it wasn't any better than the cross Smith set up for the Wallace missed header just 5 minutes after Young lad, missed out 5 weeks with cup games and injuries, didn't do too badly, think he should get a proper chance and don't think he was bad enough to punt out the team after 1 game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Wallace’s effort was clearly a cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 If he was our player to develop I would agree but he's only here till January so by the time he's up and running he may well be away back and we'll have to bring someone back in that's had. limited game time.

IMO McKenna was our 2nd best player on Saturday after Swankie, also our 3 subs played well that came on Doris, Denholm and Kadar all done well, no way would i be starting Smith, good pace in the lad but looked short in other areas.

Yes denholm and kader did well when coming on but any time they have started a game they’ve not taken their chance and don’t think Smith was any worse than them so don’t see the reason for dropping him.

Just mean if he's young it'll be harder for him to come in and hit the ground running than it would be for a more experienced player. That'll have been his first start since pre season probably, outwith youth games which he won't have played too many recently either with his injury. Think he done reasonably well taking that into consideration. Denholm been a bit hit and miss, Kader had plenty of games and not done too much, I'd even be happy to see Gold given a shot. But reckon that is probably the last available spot to claim in the team and Smith should get a run if we keep winning. It's a position Doris could even come in and play after he's fit with McKenna being pretty versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip0402 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 jamieson thomson,little,tob,hammy linn,whately,swanks,kader wallace and mckenna i think he'll play kader because he sticks to his defensive duties quite well which is probably why he starts more away games than home.

afc_36_0 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Mckenna is a lot more effective up top so hopefully he’s back there. Plenty of choice on the right of gold, kadar, denholm and smith but i’d go with kadar too. Rest of the team picks itself but whatley definitely needs to pick his game up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
