Cynical rather than pessimistic I think better describes the mood for me. People want them to work out but recent experience makes everyone wary. We haven’t had a decent unknown for a good few years. Yeats has done well so hopefully McGlynn has found another one at least. He won’t get them all right mind you, no one does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t get them all right mind you, no one does. Think what helped with Yeats was he competed well against Premiership opposition. That made the job easy and less of a risk as all fans that watched him that night could see a player. Judging Jaime Wilson against a University team was harder to judge as is making an assessment in training. It’s a pity we can’t trial these players in games but I suspect their agents won’t offer that as an option as possibly other clubs interested. Anyway I like what I see from his showreel so hopefully he can’t bring a lot of that in to the game. Definitely much more exciting than a player who’s got a dodgy track record at the likes of Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will still definitely be able to keep our good defensive record up, and that front 3 with a number 10 behind them have great chemistry playing together for a while to get the goals we’ve been missing. It’s something you don’t see nowadays but 3 central strikers and a number 10 will have Airdrie second guessing how to defend that. A midfield of 2 should be fine in this league, all the winning teams go with two central midfielders to cover the main area of the pitch, attacking and defensively. Williamson will be fine on his own on the right, he’ll cope with any winger and full back bombing on against him, plus get forward as well. If during the game we decide 3 central strikers up front doesn’t work, for whatever reason, can bring on like for like subs in Jaime Wilson. Maybe tad sarcastic however it’s all about opinions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone said a while back on here, he would comfortably beat one or two defenders at a rate of knots then, as he was bearing down on goal, he's turn and run twice as fast in the opposite direction! Always gave his all though and not every player we've had can say that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal at the TFS were it looked like his skill bought him space, where in actual fact it was he had no clue what he was doing, his pace was his strength, the problem he had was taking the ball with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Gagging to see today’s starting XI. Is McGlynn going to give it “big club cool”, and put the new guys on the bench or in the stand, or is it going to be “right lads, you and you, you’re oan frae the start.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or three at the back an option. As said by Raith fans McGlynn likes to throw 3 at the back randomly as a curve ball. He did against us afore 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Playing the three of Morrison, McGuffie and Nesbitt together gives me the fear as they are all capable of disappearing out of games and doing very little. I’d have Oliver in there and leave one of them out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
