Shodwall cat Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 9 hours ago, Raybowski89 said: I'd be careful with that way of thinking, as my mate is a Morton fan and he wasn't all that bothered about losing Calvin Miller last season (and now look at him!). Sometimes it's the system, or the personnel, or just the right environment and it can make all the difference for a player. Miller has a much better pedigree than Williamson though. He actually played for Celtic and was a Scottish u21 international he's played now well over a hundred first team games. He has always had real talent but needed to screw the nut a bit. Williamson has never played for rangers and his career has been on a downward spiral for a wee while now. I certainly won't be losing sleep over them signing him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the sort of signing that will have us jumping through hoops either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Here's to all the fellow bairns! Here's to more wins in 2024! Here's to hopefully making it out League 1 at the end of the season. Here's to P&B continuing to be plastered in targetted ads featuring the sexiest centre-half in the league.

Higgenarse Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 It's quite annoying there is no new year game in the Diddy leagues. Even the championship has a game on the 2nd 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the championship has a game on the 2nd We'd better hope that we go up this season because if we don't and all the leagues stay similar to how they are looking at the moment then the league 1 derbies next season could be the Binos v the Wasps and Us v Stenny! We'd have that Neilly nob haunting us even more than usual. Actually, with us winning most Saturdays these days he hasn't been around as much as in previous seasons, long may it continue.

Shodwall cat Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 1 hour ago, BPM Again said: So is Nesbitts if that is how you are judging it I don't really see him as a number ten in the traditional sense though. He plays anywhere from the edge of our box to the edge of the opposition's. A traditional number ten played just behind the number 9 and would be expected to get double figures at least if you ask me. Not many sides play with a traditional number ten these days. Nesbitts really an attacking midfielder who supports the attack more than Henderson or Spencer but also adds extra cover if needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye folk still talk about "number 10" like its the old days of 4 4 2. What they seem to really mean is attacking midfielder. As an aside, talking about positions using 1 to 11 numbers that haven't been on professional football pitches for christ knows how long gets on my tits. "They might be looking at signing a 6 in the window". f**k off. No one ever identifies the need for cover at left back and starts harping on about a "number 3" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I think we are really playing with a 4-2-1-3 recently with Nesbitt just in front of Spencer and Hendo but behind the 3 attackers. Think this position has really suited Nesbitt -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this position has really suited Nesbitt I think that’s right, and it takes a lot of defensive work away from Morrison and Miller - Nesbitt will hare around the pitch, and Spencer or Hendo can fill in wide if the other two are caught up the pitch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could score a goal himself obviously but wasn't really a striker. The actual striker or number 9 played of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it would make things more interesting in Scotland. It did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
