Anthony Fitzgerald Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 He knew we needed a right back when he first came in so signed Tumilty on loan. Hopefully there is someone in the pipeline. Who was the last proper right back he had? Was it Duffie?He had Cammy Kerr at Dundee who was a converted right back after starting out at right wing, maybe Paul McGinn before him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If we’re going to play a back 4 consistently this season then I’m more than happy to play Jordan McGhee there. One of his biggest strengths is his use of the ball and carrying the ball out of defence and pushing further forward which he would do all the time in a back 3 last season but if he’s playing in the middle of a 4 then that’s something he would have to cut out.I really don’t think we would be able to bring in someone better than him with our budget in this league. Cheers. Hopefully a solid enough defender first and foremost. I’d say he’s probably better going forward than defensively.Decent enough at this level but a downgrade on Mikey Doyle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I’d like to see a midfield of Sammut, TOE and Froxy tonight. Don’t see the need to play Paton, especially if we play a back 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have been disappointed if we signed him, had a wee purple patch with us then was poor and dropped. He still is young, so time for him I suppose, as Russ said better going forward than defending as he cost us a few goals but can be poor and clueless going forward, amount of times one on one and have no idea seen him out the team. I'll echo County fans in saying he is a wing back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegrass Bairn Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Tumilty looked okay, but faded a bit towards the end of the season. Was assumed that Hartley didn’t try to keep him as he had better RB options; we’re yet to see them. Meantime Tumilty has scored more goals for Falkirk than O’Hara, yet some folks still think O’Hara is worth a place in the team... he really, really isn’t. Wouldn’t be surprised if that stat still stands next May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tries like a bear but unfortunately Saturday showed once again why he lacks the quality and ability needed to play for us. Yet you still see a number of our fans talk about him as if he's Messi with the constant calls for him to come on. Baffling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s brilliant but he certainly gets himself into positions to score, hasn’t had the quality/luck yet to finish. Last chance for him at this level to show that he can finish before inevitably dropping down the leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always horrible to see someone who's only association you have with them being as an athlete taken down like that. Unfortunately there is no better driver for charity than seeing a familiar face suffering. Sad news anyway due to it being one horrendous b*****d of a disease. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said he's better offensively than defensively so will probably do ok if McKinnon's planning to play with a back 3. Thought he was average overall for us and I didn't want him back as it was assumed that Hartley would be looking to bring in someone better however, as things stand, I wish he was still with us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Terrible news and my thoughts are with David and his family. I remember watching a documentary on the BBC about a young girl in Aberdeen who had been diagnosed with MND. I may be wrong but I am pretty sure she was the youngest person in the Uk to be diagnosed with it. It was absolutely heartbreaking and had me in tears. Agree with the sentiments that the club should do something for MND charity in David's name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 No issue with the shape, but we've signed multiple midfielders and Kidd gets a game. We've got two signed first team keepers and he starts Mutch. Odd. I wonder if rotation was planned? I'd be looking at consistency in the side ahead of the league kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
