Yoss Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 He has tried to bring in wingers - Borris, Carcary, Dunbar, Smith, Williamson, McBride. It's just that, for whatever reason,s they keep being his least successful signings. That might be coincidence but I suspect there's more to it. McGlynn only wants hard workers and so many of the best wingers are "flair players" who tend not to be quite such hundred percenters (look at Gibson and Cardle along the road). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An out and out winger will never be successful with us unless we change our style of football. Much like a penalty box poacher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably on the money, tbh. Darren Smith was happy to do the hard work, but fitness problems hindered him. I still wish we'd kept him... Carcary, Templeton and Williamson were/are notable for going missing. It's too early to say with McBride and I can't really remember much of Ryan Borris, other than that he would immediately head towards the touchline when he recieved the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn only wants hard workers and so many of the best wingers are "flair players" who tend not to be quite such hundred percenters (look at Gibson and Cardle along the road). I think that it's still too early to early to tell with McBride. He's started two competitive games for us I think. In those two games he's shown moments of quality in forcing an opponent to be sent off in one and setting up a goal in the other. Despite his overall performances being average or seemingly worse (I missed Alloa) certainly that's enough to be going on with and enough to allow the boy some breathing space. Carcary, Williamson and Templeton are perhaps unfortunate in that they were/are primarily strikers that McGlynn tried to convert. None of the 3 are ever going to track back and put tackles in outside their own box like Ferry will, and as you say, that's what McGlynn likes and, therefore, they were never going to cut it for him. Smith and Borris looked like being the sort of wingers that could thrive under McGlynn, creative wide men with a work ethic. Sadly, both spent a lot of time on the treatment table and were let go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Lovely! If he plays anywhere near as well he did in his last spell it would be fantastic for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Be interesting to see how McGlynn will fit him into the team alongside Baird and Tadé (should McGlynn choose to start him, of course). It has to be said that we are pretty short up front though, and we're likely to lose Mole in January. If Wales can have an impact, then there's an ideal replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Some Second Division defenders suffered shellshock and post-traumatic stress after experiencing the 4-3-3 with Wales Weir and K.Smith up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Sweet. Wasn't really expecting anything before January. Weird how it changes your mood innit, there I was a little bit worried about Saturday's game and now I'm looking forward to seeing him back. Hope it gives the rest of the team the same sort of lift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Tade, Wales and Baird up front. Yes please. Davidson, Walker and Ferry in Midfield, usual defence and goalkeeper. We'll win 4-0 on Saturday. MON!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 433 isn't as suicidal as it sounds we don't use wingers it is a weakness on our play so packing the middle of the park and lett the full backs loose on the wide areas is worth at least looking at. In mcglynn we trust 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In mcglynn we trust I totally agree and it would work really well. I've been thinking about our formation and before this came the conclusion that a 5-3-2 with the current squad would be the best bet but now I'm all for a 4-3-3. Imagine Baird Tade and Wales upfront? MOVEMENT Sounds good to me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
podgieshields Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 i dont know about that! i mean if we put that line up(4-3-3) against dundee and falkirk that could backfire... BIG TIME! i think if we get even 4 points out of the next two i think the 4-3-3 formation and maybe give walesy his first start then would work best! we have slumped a bit but i dont think we need to change anything drastically! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the following team McGurn Wilson Murray Ellis Dyer Walker Davidson/Simmons Ferry Tade Baird Wales Is more than capable of beating the likes of Dundee & Falkirk and I think it would make us harder to beat not easier as it would mean be able to boss the midfield with a midfield three and get the full backs going forward as when we play a 4-4-2 (Take the game against Alloa) our wide players seem to go missing. Playing a 4-3-3 would be us playing to our strengths and I for one hope we play it against Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
