Could maybe try him at CB, as he looks poor in midfield. Aye that's nonsense though. He's easily our best midfielder. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

professor challenger Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 McGregor does so much that goes unnoticed. Abso!surely priceless in midfield and Naithsmith will be the first-hand name on Clark's teamsheet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Denis Law's early years. Great to see us having a player who doesn't seem overawed at the prospect of scoring prolifically at international level. Kris Boyd? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 That second half performance was excellent, easily the best we’ve played under Clarke and you can see things starting to take shape. Serbia or Norway will obviously be a massive leap in standard of opposition should we make it to the playoff final, but we’ve got something to build on now. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Kris Boyd?Nah, he only scored 7 over his entire career. 4 in his first 2, but the next 3 came over the next 12 caps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor made a huge difference with a much improved performance after half-time, and, even if I still have some reservations about him, Jack also stepped up. Impressed by Palmer again.

Gordopolis Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Statto strikes again. Tell me statto, did mcfadden manage that?Nah. He scored regularly (15 in 48) but never in a purple patch as prolific as McGinn's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't great by McKenna but that's what you're going to get when you play players of that standard unfortunately.

Jacky1990 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Decent performance against a team we should absolutely be beating homr and away so lets not get ahead of ourselves. On that performance, Palmer is a good option at right back, but i would still like us to try Tierney there to see if he can fit in. Naismith is another good option, but dont like him as an out and out striker. He's better linking midfield and attack. Wasnt as convinced with Jack as others seem to be. Thought he looked good when he played quickly, but too often took 3 or 4 unnecessary touches. That would likely get caught out against better teams. McTominay and McGinn a must in the first XI, but I thought McGregor was better than Jack tonight and is therefore still ahead of him in the pecking order for me. With Robertson, Cooper and McTominay to come back into the starting team and Tierney, Fraser and hopefully Griffiths to come back into the squad at least, its a decent place to be. Bring on the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieMogwai Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Palmer has given SOD some decent competition. He's been in the doldrums this season, needs to be more cavalier. He's getting there, though. SOD will rise again. McKenna is your typical big, strong lump but his problem is that he's too 1-dimensional at the moment. Needs a move away from McInnes to reach his full potential. Findlay will take over the left CB role when he's back fit. Findlay is a modern CB: strong, pacey and can play football. McKenna and him might work together, with Findlay reading the game and telling McKenna what to do. Not sure how well he follows orders, though. Forrest and McGregor were relatively disappointing again. McGregor woke up with about 10 minutes to go and started zipping passes about. Where had that been all game? Mind you, at least they didn't call off. I'm looking at you, Tierney, Robertson and Fraser. Taylor, Gallacher, Naismith all did well. Jack has played himself into contention. He could be the disruptive, hard b*****d we need beside McTominay. McGinn is an absolute machine. Christie could be even better than McGinn. Great result! Onwards and upwards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenna still occasionally gives me Grant Hanley bombscare vibes so I'm not 100% convinced he's the long term solution at centre back. At least its starting to look like we have half decent options at cb rather than picking the least worst two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Before the past two games I would've said the only nailed down CB spot was for McKenna. However over the course of the two games he looked noticeably more shaky than Gallagher, who I thought looked pretty assured and should really retain his place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
