Bairnardo Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Stick with the 3 at the back. Put Tidser in for Miller. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Question for me is do we stick with McManus up front?His work rate against Linlithgow was not in question but he was wasteful in front of goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then Gomis is the only one doing any chasing/buzzing about between the lines. McMillan and Sammon aren't going to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t deserve to be sidelined for missing chances. That goal against the Rose might be the goal that sparks him back into life. It’s not as if anyone else has been setting the heather on fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Question for me is do we stick with McManus up front?His work rate against Linlithgow was not in question but he was wasteful in front of goal. Definitely not. His willingness to win the ball back is what got us the first goal. I honestly think we'd be worse without him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I think it might be that we're sending him back in that case. If it's a straight choice between him and McManus i'd choose the latter and I don't imagine McMillan fancies being a bench player in League 1. As for the game, Stranraer were the poorest side I've seen this season in the away tie so I'm hoping we can get another win to get some momentum behind the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to need 3 decent strikers at least and McManus currently cant be relied upon as a goal scorer. Johnstone is pish so its all about whether they can get a better replacement for macmillan i in January otherwise if the likes of Sammon got injured we would be fecked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think McMillan isn't quite the answer for us. Would prefer someone younger with pace that we can use to change games if it isn't working for McManus & Sammon. I'm not sure McMillan is an upgrade on either (he obviously is on Johnstone though!) and I'd imagine for the wages we'll be paying for McMillan we could do better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just talking hypothetically, if I was a decent striker from a league above or whatever, maybe not first choice at my club, and FFC could afford wages I was after..then you'd maybe think that dropping down to play in a lower league could be a sensible option career wise? More chance of scoring a load of goals, making a name for yourself and firing the team to promotion, getting a bit of glory in a short career, fans favourite, and maybe, just maybe getting a bigger move along the way.... I guess the risk is you flop and then your spiral downwards continues.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Reading all these points about players not being good enough. Can’t help but feel that now that McKinnon has gone we need to wipe the slate clean for a few weeks and give players a chance to see what they can actually do.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 St Johnstone might be able to recall McMillan if they get injuries for all we know. It's probably a case of not wanting him cup tied. I think we need another player in the middle who can put their foot on the ball. I would bin Miller and stick Tidser next to Gomis. Not massively keen on the back five when our two wing backs are humpty but willing to see how it pans out. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BairnBrainBrian Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Replacing Durnan with a box of cheese and onion crisps would immediately improve our defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Tidser has been the biggest disappoinment of the lot this season. Must be the highest paid player in the league but looks slow and unable to cope with the rough and tumble of league one football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
