Ro Sham Bo Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Impressive that not content with our injury problems, we've decided to chuck in a couple of suspensions also. Roll on the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Best guess for outfield players available: Defenders: Dick, Millen, Ngwenya and Young, with Masson possible. Midfield/Wing: Brown and McGill, with Ross probable. Forwards: Akio, Connolly, McBride Unknown: Easton, Spencer, Stanton…but all three have had back issues this year. So, MacDonald…Thomson…McNeil…MacDonald at DM with Brown, Thomson in goal and McNeil at RW? 21 minutes ago, Beachbum said: Is that Vaughan's first sending off?

Can’t pass more than ten yards, can’t cross. Millen was murder at the beginning of the season but has actually turned into one of our most consistent players this season. More than happy to have him. 1 hour ago, TxRover said: Learnt about getting a wee break from Davo? First thing I thought. Season is done.

I don’t have much against him, in that I appreciate he’s not a keeper who chucks one in his own net every 3/4 games, which we’ve seen before, but I don’t really get the hype he gets from some fans.

Hit the number of games to activate the clause for a new contract hasn't taken it up and then just happens to have been injured since we lost to Hamilton and ended up with nothing to play for. Feels like a guy who has a contract elsewhere and doesn't want to risk getting injured (further) when there's nothing to play for.

Hes one of the better keepers in the Championship and I doubt theres many "modern" keepers in it either , and if hes let go or doesn't sign who do we get to replace him, unless McNeil can make the breakthrough and we get another promising youngster in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible, it’s also possible he has until a certain date to exercise the option and is checking his options. 56 minutes ago, Brashy's Boots said: Not sure he's Murray's type of player. Def slows the game down and I think IM wants us breaking at pace. Pretty sure he'll be gone. Not bothered. He’s our only real DM besides Brown, I’d be bothered unless IM is changing formations. Matthews and Stanton can play DM, but both are out of position and lose effectiveness. McGill is a possible option, if we sign him, but less than ideal. 1 hour ago, Enigma said: Can’t think of many games I’ve come away thinking he’s dug us out of a hole or anything this season.

MacDonald is one of the better keepers in the Championship, but certainly isn’t a class ball distribution specialist. Maybe the question should be asked if he perhaps has failed to properly marshal the defence on some of these set pieces and other times? We often talk of expecting keepers to be loud and aggressive in organizing the defence. I personally don’t blame MacDonald for our woes, but reflecting upon our weakness on set pieces, it is a bit concerning. I have said that it may be time for moving past MacDonald, and nothing this season has convinced me otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
