Kelheart Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Thought Lyon and oware had a great game tonight big Agy ran them ragged first half just needs an end product , looks like we just can’t play away from home at the moment as home form is decent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Forbes Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Injuries are a bit concerning. I presume that Forster and Austin are injured, and now Martin also injured, looked like it could be hamstring. Anyone think that Aggy playing through the middle would be a good move? This would then allow Higgy to go wide, although he has played quite well as the number 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he'll be back at the weekend though. We were good tonight although Queen's could have scored too on a few occasions. Felt a good bit of fight from the boys and the shape was excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only suggested it as I've never been a fan of replacing a player with another starting 11 player, then replacing the latter with a squad player. That way you're weakening two positions instead of one. Higgy has played really well at centre forward, but that's obviously not his best position. I think that Aggy would revel in the space he would find playing along the front, feeding him balls in the channels would give him the chance to run at, or outrun the centre backs. Plus he has more energy and pace to shut down the centre backs than Higgy has. I also think that Higgy would be more than happy to play out wide again. We've only scored 6 goals in 10 league matches, so anything is worth a shot. Aggy's finishing can be erratic but he would get better at it through time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love Agy to be the main man up top but unfortunately he’s not quite there yet , still getting talked through the games by the likes of Higgy and Tidser , would keep him out wide for his energy and unpredictability with Austin up top and Higgy back out wide , thought Cardle looked well off it last night and it’s beginning to tell that this might be a step up too far for him at this age so maybe he’s better coming in for last 20 or so once Agy n Higgy have put their shifts in , anyway great win last night against what I thought was a very poor full time team , yeah they had a lot of the ball and won the second balls but they were pretty poor overall Edited October 12, 2022 by Kelheart Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put he's not getting enough of the ball to impact the game as he can. I think we'll see him in & out of the 11 which is the right call, he's still quality. Alfie was great last night. Potentially he's got the ability to play far above L1 if he can learn and end more end product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was saying all last night we’ve totally stopped trying to play football from the back, not once did we play out from the back was just a hoof up from Jamieson which turns our possession into a 50/50 and with the giants QoS had against Higgy (done well by the way) it was them that mostly picked up most of the headers and second balls , that’s what I think is going against our team as they can all play on the deck Anyway was right where Barjo went on that mazy last night skinning 4 before being chopped down footwork was sublime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Cardle has not had the impact that he's had in previous seasons, but he does get well watched by the opposition sometimes coming up against two defenders, but he's still an exciting player to watch as he can still make things happen. Agree with you about qos. They had a good spell at the start of the second half but their attempts at goal were woeful to say the least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barjo made a big difference when he came on, brought some fresh energy to the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelheart Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Great result yesterday , no idea why Agys goal was chopped off , got a bit nervy once Clyde got a goal back but overall a brilliant week for us getting 6 points at home Next two away to Falkirk n Dunfermline so really glad to have got the wins at home under our belt Mon Kelty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the 6 points was vital, I would be happy with 2 draws for the two away games. Would love to see Alfie get a run at number 9 in those two games, the big pitches would give him the space to run at the centre halves and cause some havoc. Gives Higgy a rest too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
