mrraith71 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I’m actually gutted we never brought a new LB in to challenge Dick. Last few weeks he has been terrible! after last weeks performance Murray doesn’t look like he’s 100% fit. So slow and caused goals because of it. I still see it being a back 4 tonight with Watson and Murray starting. let’s hope they don’t break down and back to square one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how so many championship teams (ICT, Partick, Arbroath etc) have managed to find defenders and we haven't. O'Reilly's departure to Partick leaves us weaker whether Watson stays healthy or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were always looking for the “right one” to “improve” on what we’ve got why don’t we look down south at defenders look at Inverness, Ayr etc getting folk from down south and has worked out but we’re seem to be stuck in the domestic market 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Murray does seem to strike me as a manager who will only sign players he's either heard of, managed before, or managed against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerieA Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Wind going to play a part tonight I think. Hopefully brings Airdrie down to our level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf thats more your opinion than a fact. Hes been a solid enough player for us over the last couple seasons but its an area we need drastic improvement regardless what league we are in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Dicks frequent high balls forward to the general area of Jack Hamilton could be a laugh tonight then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor convinced thats anywhere close to being factual. Mostly because you started it with "Would argue" which is anything but definitive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably not strictly a Murray trend though. We've been stung before signing players no one had heard of - John Frederiksen and Timmy Abraham to name a couple albeit the latter wasn't a Murray signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor O'Riordan and Ryan Nolan are two that jump out being in the 'genuinely no idea who they are category '. O'Riordan was a hit. Nolan was pretty middling without being truly awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have had much closer links with Crewe after O’Riordan went back and brought through some more of their youngsters, it would’ve been great for both clubs. Nolan was an odd one. He wasn’t great and he wasn’t bad, but you’re right about him being middling. I’m hopeful Murray plays his actual defenders tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeDav Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I would rotate the squad big time and get boys like McGill and matthews on from the start. Go with a CB pairing of corr and Watson gives Murray a rest as he keeps having reoccurring niggles. Would probably go with McNeil in goals looks more assured in his footwork and kicking than big Kev 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spot on Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Getting a win is more important than rotating the squad. The winless run ending has to be the priority to restore confidence and getting us back in the game irrespective of the competition. Has to be the strongest team tonight 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be the strongest team tonight Need game time into the legs of Watson and a run out for Stanton if on the bench. Other than that IM must play his strongest starting 11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardog_champion Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 A win here isn’t important. I thought it was all about the league. Airdrie will do all they can to nullify our forward threat and exploit our “defence” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
