He's maybe been a good fit at St Johnstone but he would not fit the system we are trying to play. He'd be caught on the break several times a game. He's also far too ponderous on the ball if expected to do anything other than play it down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSJ.84 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Was happy with that team until I read the name Murphy. Nothing against him in particular, just that means we’re either playing with him and May as a front two - which I don’t like - or we’ve reverted to that honking 5-2-3. Not really sure which of those options I’d prefer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itll be 5-2-3 because we almost managed to draw 0-0 with Aberdeen playing that earlier this system, and clearly thats the goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thinking too. The obsession with the 5-2-3 in particular really irks me. It hasn’t really worked for us like having two up front does, yet he always finds a way to go back to it. Nicky Clark may well be in need of a rest after the sickness bug etc. but we don’t really have the squad at the minute to allow for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Carey retaining his place after last week’s showing is wild. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 It’s good to see Gallagher back but having barely kicked a ball since his injury he better not get hung out to dry if he’s not fully on it today. He’ll need time to find the level he was starting to reach pre-injury 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Can’t see Gallagher being worse than Brown at LWB, but it’s also v obvious that if he has anything other than a flawless game Davidson will jettison him from the club and then use this as justification - just like the time he started Vertainen at Ibrox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to worry there’s been a fall out with Spoony, really the only explanation for why he’s not playing ahead of most of our midfield dumplings. edit: either that or the manager is an idiot, which I suppose there is a body of evidence backing up.

Why is his place in the first 11 untouchable? He’s a decent footballer but not sure he’s done anything of note for us, and he’s been shocking recently Edit: Because I've resolved to be less of a negative f**k this year, I will say its good to see McGowan back in midfield and Crawford not in the team. I can see McGowan and MacPherson working as a pair, though I would have had Phillips in there instead.

perthsaint1977 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 He has to go. So sick and tired of him. Just plucking names/formations out of his arse in the hope of stumbling on a result. To start Macpherson, Crawford and Murphy over Wotherspoon recently is just mind-blowing. If I was him I'd be on the phone to my agent to get my arse out this club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always wondered why he was so raging at the LASK game… not convinced they’ve ever got on that well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
