Broken Algorithms Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Very stop/start from ourselves so far. The main issue is our lack of goals. We've the third lowest goals scored in the division and we've really struggled with a lack of an out and out forward. Neither Gullan nor Connell have offered much in the final third, and Frederiksen is very much still an unknown quantity. We've got Connor McBride available too but he seems to have dropped down the pecking order a bit. Defensively, we've not looked too bad - we've only conceded 13 goals with only Caley letting in fewer than ourselves (and Morton). Especially given that three out of our four signings in our current defensive pairing are completely new. O'Riordan in particular has been singled out for a lot of praise - at face value it looked a very risky signing to bring in an 18 year old on loan from England but he's played like a veteran defender so far. We've seen an uptick in form since the return of Brad Spencer. With Spencer and Brown sitting deep, Sam Stanton has progressed into a more attacking role and has looked his best since joining the club. We're still to get Vaughan and Lang back into the squad, but even if they're bit part on their return I still think we've got it in us to move away from the bottom three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Was a mixed start to the season for us then after the league cup pumping from Motherwell we won 5 on the bounce to fire us up the table. Injuries are beginning to take their toll especially losing Deas who is one of the best centre halfs in the league. Hopefully we can begin to get some players back soon and keep in touch with the pace setters. The two televised pumpings from Partick and Morton have been the worst performances by some way. Still convinced by our summer recruitment, Nathan Shaw looks utterly hopeless and Steven Boyd ain’t much better. Delaneys looked decent at left back and not seen much of Max Ram to comment. Danny Mackay has looked good and Oakley has been been old self wrestling with centre halfs instead of playing football. Overall a good but frustrating first third of the season for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
