CruyffTurnFerry Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Please be the number 7, Joe Thomson. Scored the goal and was a threat throughout! he's another midfielder and tbh if we're only to sign one more player i would rather it be a forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 he's another midfielder and tbh if we're only to sign one more player i would rather it be a forward Looked more of a winger to me, which would be a wee bit competition. Craigen looks decent out wide, but would like to see him in the middle with either Callachan or McCord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'd like to see Craigen in the middle too, really don't think he's being utilised to the best of his abilities out there. If we are interested in someone from that side, then Thomson stuck out, and I thought Nesbitt was a pest on the night too. He might be an option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I liked us best in the 4-3-1-2 we played against Hearts. Craigen could play in the 3 or as the 1. Only issue is I don't see a place for Anderson in that set up and he's one of our biggest threats. If Stewart and/or Wighton are fit for Saturday though, I'd like to see it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) From what I can gather, everyone likes Anderson, myself included, and not making the starting XI would take a fair bit of pace out the side, but he can't cross a ball, which is a bit of a necessity for a winger. He's pretty much the opposite of Conroy, who could deliver a ball but not really involved in open play. Anderson is great at using his pace and forcing defences onto the back-foot. Unfortunately he reaches the by-line and crosses it into the side netting or one of the stands. I really don't think you'd diminish Anderson if you played him in the centre, it might actually suit him more. McKinnon certainly seems keen on the idea, he's played at least a part of 3 or 4 friendlies in a central position, although I appreciate that was perhaps down to needs-must.

renton Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Looked more of a winger to me, which would be a wee bit competition. Craigen looks decent out wide, but would like to see him in the middle with either Callachan or McCord. Even so, you've got Megginson, Anderson, Craigen, Vaughan, McKeown and even Petrie who can play out wide to varying degrees of success. It's lack of competition for Stewart that is an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Anderson is someone we could definitely try out as a forward. He looks the part. We need some competition/back-up for Stewart and Vaughan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Anderson is someone we could definitely try out as a forward. He looks the part. Going by the pre-season games where he WAS used as a striker I'd say a big fat no on that one imo. Yes his pace is valuable and yes he's right in what he said in the FFP that he understands the reasons why McKinnon felt he might be a useful as a striker (getting in behind defences with his pace etc) he just doesn't strike me as someone that realistically can really shine in that position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Anderson cannot hold up the ball and he's not much of a half chance taker either. It's only our lack of threat in the friendlies (of which Anderson was a part of) that's making people panic into suggesting him as a striker. Just relax everyone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Vaughan, Stewart, Wighton and Megginson all injured at the minute. Who do we play up front on Saturday in our first competitive game? Anderson seemed to have a problem with his right leg on Tuesday, he was holding the back of his leg rather gingerly(or he may have been popping the farmers back in), hopefully he can shrug it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
