Proudtobeabairn Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Ankle injury according to McGlynn. May be back for Saturday but unlikely to start if he hasn't trained. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Surely at this point we just go for a flat 442. Best of both worlds, wingers and 2 strikers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I hope we do, but who'd play in the middle? Henderson & McGinn? Then no Max/Nesbitt/Lawal option? I'd go with Hendo and Max but I can't see McGlynn changing to a system that gives him these headaches. No way he'd leave out McGinn & Nesbitt for example 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy is out and McGuffie is sh*t so wouldn't be surprised if he reverts to the formation used at Alloa. We'll lose 1 nil again and it'll be back to Oliver and wingers. See I'm not having that as Max can play out wide and you could even trial Burrell out there. Think Killie brought him on out wide last season a few times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No on so many levels. By all means say no if it blows a financial budget but to interfere as you suggest is a disaster waiting to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I'd only expect the bod to get involved if it's a goodwillie situation . Otherwise they will provide the budget and then put their faith in the manager to spend it right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is interfering. Unless it is a finance discussion second guessing the manager imo is 100% what the Board should not be doing. You back your manager to make the signing calls and if he messes up he knows the consequence. Anything else gives him an excuse. We only need to look at Gary Holt and how that doesn’t work at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that be where the confusion is coming from. I don’t think they will be involved in that either. They set a budget and the manager spends it as he sees fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Allan should get a run in the team. He's went from being top scorer in the league for an absolute gang to benchwarming in a team that, on paper, should be creating a rake of chances every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just surprised that the entire players budget (and wouldn’t be surprised if not in the top six budgets outside the SPL) is the responsibility of one person. I don’t disagree that manager should have full say so on players arriving/going, but should it go tits up there’s no accountability for the BOD ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't get any decent manager taking a post at our level if the bod were telling him who he could or couldn't sign in a football sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, trying to understand that the BOD wouldn’t like us to repeat the mistakes from previous regimes, ie who signed off the utter waste of money for Griffiths etc. and the potential signing of DGW ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
