8MileBU Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 He's played classic number 10, floating around a 9 and spending plenty of time on both sides. If he's been on the left of a front three before, it hasn't been in a long time. Coyne’s never been a ‘classic number 10’ or ever really played that role as far as I’m aware? I doubt it as it really doesn’t seem a role that would play to his strengths. Albeit I’ve never watched them week-in-week out, but as someone mentioned previously, Coyne has spent the bulk of his time at Lithgy playing on the left of a front 3 beside Coco Strickland, with Roddy, Herdy or occasionally Calum Smith on the right and Roddy tucking in to play as a ‘10’. Think Whytey might’ve still been playing on the right of the 3 for a chunk of Coyne’s early days at Lithgy as well? I’m sure someone can correct me if I’m wrong about any of the above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough Whytey never played with TC - although I must admit I thought similar until his testimonial, when I learned differently. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Coyne's never played that far left. Old school inside left maybe, with a pretty free role. In the last few seasons he's been first or second forward, with much of last season being him ahead of a three of Roddy, Ruari and Ronald. In the run to the Scottish Cup 5th round he was often number 10 around Kelbie, a role he played when Maguire was here too. Last time we made the Junior Cup final he played second striker to Herdy, with McArthur one side and Roddy the other. Apart from anything else, he'd never have scored that many goals from wider left.

At no point has anyone said Coyne is/was a touchline-hugging, byeline-hitting winger. You’re also downplaying a lot of the goals he has scored from playing out wide then muscling past folk cutting inside on his right foot. Actually think probably a good percentage of Coyne’s goals have come this way after a wee 1-2 lay off with Coco. We'll agree to disagree Gordon. Think that’s perhaps best. He’s talking bollocks now!

surely not! Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Any word on potential new gaffer? Anyone the lithgae fans would like/not like? And any word on whether the new gaffer will play TC as a 9, 10 or an inside/outside left? [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you say that don’t think he ever lost to you when at Penicuik and if your thinking about his time at Berwick give the guy a break it was an impossible job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
