ShaggerG Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 1 hour ago, MrDust said: Telfer and Nesbitt have dropped down to this level for a reason, if your previous club was Morton then it's not a great plus on your CV and it get worse with Falkirk. Morrison has decent attributes but his negative ones is why he is with us, there is a chance he'll improve but as it stands he is in the same boat as the above. I'd keep Telfer as I feel he can work in the current formation, don't think Nesbitt can and we have looked better without him recently. Morrison role now is probably striker now which I'm not too keen on for him. As for Ben Hall going, I'd rather it was McKay but remember his debut scoring twice and still looking ropey. I think Telfer's a starter as long as we can get a midfield that will bring out the best in him. Nesbitt, McGuffie and even Morrison are players who I feel would be better coming off the bench to give us something different. I felt much the same about Louis Longridge when he was here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just to have lunch with his wife then he needs a good hard kick in the baws for getting our hopes up!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made not scoring a skill of its own. Todorov seems well out of the picture at Dunfermline, be surprised if he remains at the pars. He suffered, as did Shayne Lavery, from an utterly baffling obsession with making sure Aaron Jarvis got every available minute when a forward was needed 19 minutes ago, bairn88 said: Morrison straight swap for Todorov would be such a shan deal for us.

ShaggerG Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Whilst we certainly need another striker, I don't think it should be Todorov, he's too much like Dowds for me. We need a penalty box poacher type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's even more of a shitebag than Telfer which really is an achievement in itself. Whenever we have a battle on our hands and he's in the middle of the park we're a man down. Telfer can run a game and should actually be playing further up the park than he has been this year. Telfer - 22 league games 3 goals and 5 assists Nesbitt 22 league games 2 goals and 3 assists Nesbitt was outstanding the first few games of the season. Even ran the show at Killie in the cup game and scored a cracker. Looked like a top signing but has struggled since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think Nesbitt's trying too hard. He is certainly vocal and tries to get players around him going - probably why he was given the captaincy - but his own game has suffered under the responsibility. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 1 hour ago, Bairnardo said: I had been thinking ideally in a 3 5 2 you would have Jacobs and Craig, with a someone in behind 2 strikers and Morrison seemed natural rather than Telfer or Nesbitt.... Then I minded that when Hartley briefly had a decent side, he favoured 3 5 2. I need to go back and look at some line ups maybe but I distinctly remember I didnt like it whenever we went with Longridge in behind Jak and Nelson. I always felt it was a bit counter intuitive in terms of our attack which seemed to suffer. I cant remember what the alternative was though.... Sibbs, Taiwo and McKee maybe? Just a ramble really, but I do worry about where Morrison fits in at all. It maybe works given that Jacobs and Craig would be a pretty formidable 2. The Falkirk team that pumped United 6-1 was definitely 3-5-2 and was probably peak Hartley As you say I think once Jakubiak broke in to the team Longridge dropped back behind the strikers which was never quite as effective. Although Kidd turned in some of his best performances in midfield, in reality he was probably carried by the rest of that team. It shows you don't need to have much height in the middle of the park as long as you have a #baller like Sibbald in there and a Tommy Tackle type bodying everything that moves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Nesbitt has talent for sure. But when I think of him playing it's an image of one leg at the level of his hips or above trying to control the ball. It's a kind of Irish dancing movement which ends up with the ball going vertical rather than forward. When his is good he is very good but at all other times ineffective.
