We're not going to go there and go for it? Not a strategy for me tbh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Mackie played LB in our only defeat of the season. He wasn't great. I see no rush to have him back there thanks... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit early to say we've turned a corner but I think we do at least have the indicator on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 7 minutes ago, Just a bairn said: Maybe Mackie is better defensively than McCann at LB but that doesn’t stop him hoofing random passes to nobody, which he has a habit of doing. I like Mackie but he was poor yesterday. Didn’t want to say, especially after the really pleasing team performance, but you’ve got it spot on with Mackie, love his passion and would go through a brick wall to win a tackle, but probably his poorest game. McCann has simply grabbed his chance and agree he’s played superbly since given the LB slot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieBairn Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 McCann has some leap for a wee guy. Won a good few headers yesterday. Been superb every game hes played this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still worries me if the Fife long ball merchants target him on the 17th. By all accounts yesterday it was long balls and long throws all afternoon Maybe we should try and beat Kelty and Alloa before we start worrying about who plays where against Dunfermline, eh? Don't want to get ahead of ourselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbairn Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Was pleasing on the eye yesterday ! McCann was man of the match for me. I posted some time ago that him and Morrison on the left hand side will pose problems for teams when we are going forwards. As indicated above, he has some leap for a wee man and gets stuck in. His problem (if it is a problem) is getting stuck up the park if and when the opposing team counter attacks fast.....but that's what the holding midfielder is for and a game reading CH, to cover for him. Had to love the fact at one point he went on a mazy and ended up at outside right. Another thing is that we now have options up front on how McGlynn might want to play. Alegria to hold the ball up or Lawall/Burell to run at players. With Henderson back we have cover for defence / midfield. My only concern is right back...but I think Yeats is actually making that his own position. He is a cracking footballer and reads the game so well. Although Williamson had a blinder last time out at Westfield, I still think he can't tackle or defend properly. Lastly, a shout out for Pearse Carrol. Only a cameo appearance yesterday but he looks like a footballer..... great control, head up, picks a pass. I don't think he will be with us for long once he gets a few games under his belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need a wee tap these days and it seems to be ok to fall down and claim a penalty. I preferred it in the days when the contact actually had to be enough to knock you off your feet for it to be a foul or a penalty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Still feel the size of our team without Henderson in it may cause us a few issues. Yesterday we still looked a bit shaky under cross balls but then apart from Donaldson and allegria we aren't exactly giants. Henderson helps a lot in that area. Heard corzo was away by the way not sure why or where though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Leon McCann has finally been given an opportunity after being criminally and consistently overlooked by last season's pair of absolute numpties. He's in a good run of form. Despite taking a dull one just prior to half-time yesterday he completed the full 90 minutes and turned in another excellent performance. So now the shouts are for him for be dropped for a game three weeks away by those just choking to say "Told You So" Desperate, desperate stuff. Sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re a joke club. I won’t red dot you. I will just allow my heart to pump custard for you as you struggle to control your straw clutching neediness…….bless your cotton socks. I did detect a wee *sob* in your post, but let’s not dwell on it. You’re a big boy now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Definitely happy to see Henderson come into the team in place of Mackie who’s been great but McCann can’t be dropped at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big chungus Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Mcginn suspended for Tuesday nights game. Be interesting to see if he plays Henderson CB or at CDM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Must admit to not being overly fussed about Tuesday. If we lose, I won’t be overly bothered, and if we win, I will be pleasantly surprised. For me, it’s all about the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t in the best form whilst we’re in form. Will be interesting. FWIW, I don’t want to see Mackie at LB again unless for injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) We now look to have cover for every position but if we are to make another signing I would like us to bring in a right back to enable the laddie Yeats to move into the midfield.
