Harry Kinnear Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 1 minute ago, Bairnardo said: What I really want to see, and what I think Allan is uniquely capable of being in the pool we have (so far) Is for there to be someone in the box, looking to carve out a half yard for themselves when the wide men have the ball. I want there to be a guy in there who is actively looking for second balls, and who is keen and able to take one touch max before getting the shot away. Too many times we dither in and around the box. It seems likely if Allan plays it will be alongside one or more big lads. He needs to be the guy who finds the space and hoovers up the cahnces/loose balls created by great big b*****ds bullying their way around the defences. I totally agree, I’m hoping McIver and Allan could maybe be given a chance to forge a partnership, by all accounts McIver is decent in the air and Allen could maybe be the player to feed off his knock downs. We moaned a lot last year about the likes of Allen and Wright being shite(Wright maybe was) but they only got bit part chances. Strikers are very much confidence players who need runs of games to build understandings with their colleagues and there is nothing like bagging a couple of goals to build the confidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan will get poacher type goals but he needs someone up there with him. So many times last season while Oliver was playing I thought if we had that poacher type forward they would have scored plenty, Oliver was forever going deep and being part of the build up and when a ball came across there was nobody there, if Allan can play that role effectively I think he can get a good return. I see him starting in the middle of the 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is Burrell being singled out for this particular accusation? The whole lot of them had "quite clearly chucked it". Beat Ayr United in a Scottish Cup Q/F on the 14th March, decided that was enough and subsequently blew up what could have been a very productive end to the season in the biggest way possible. In fact, from memory, he (in tandem with Oliver) had a very decent 90 minutes against the runaway league champions on 8/4 and came off the bench to score a last-minute equaliser against the other promoted side one week later. And on that basis alone, he contributed more in the run-in than plenty of the other charlatans and bottlers who offered the square route of f**l all in the final two months but are still hanging around creaming a wage. Yet Burrell is specifically accused of having thrown in the towel. Or this insidious "bad influence in the dressing room" fantasy. Laughable stuff. I would not be n the least bit surprised if he returns to do us some damage next season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him starting in the middle of the 3. He can't play as the lone striker which is obviously why he only started 3 games for us last season. I've said it before but I really can't see McGlynn changing from the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 as he calls it. He'll just use this summer to sign players who better suit that formation like MacIver for example. That leaves Jordan Allan as an impact sub or only starting the games McGlynn decides to change up the tactics like when he went to the diamond midfield last season. McGlynn will want the 3 in midfield so the only other option is a 5-3-2 and I don't see him going with that as it would waste Morrison, Miller and possibly Agyeman if the plan is to play him out there.

I think Burrell's body language in the play off games pretty much emphasised how much he didn't give a shite or what it looked like watching him in those games. I don't think all had chucked it but trying to get out this league as we have seen there can be no passengers Donaldson and McKay in the last game against Airdrie leading to the goal, from what Falkirk Daft says Rowe and Morrison didn't get on personally thought Rowes attitude was better than Morrison and said at the start of the season Morrison looked overweight and unfit and took him a few weeks to lose a bit again poor start to the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea and Busquets Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I’ll never forgive Burrell for his shitebaggery in the Airdrie second goal. Someone who came across as though he thought he was above Scottish League One. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium doesn't look as soulless any longer. New strip is fine, love the nod to the Hummel classic. Only thing for me that I cannot come to terms with (& will stop it being an iconic strip) is the carrot, I'm sorry......but let's not go down that rabbit hole again. It is what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 One thing I would agree with the negative lot is we look short of that “striker” a Declan McManus type. McGlynn looks like he has put his faith in a collective of Allen, Maciver, Morrison, Oliver, Aygeman and Lawal. For his sake he best hope it works out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I often wondered what some of our support were seeing with Burrell. I thought he was nothing more than a decent option from the bench but even that faded towards the end. Still young and fairly inexperienced so maybe some improvement there but I certainly won’t be losing sleep when we face him next season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUMBER 7 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The last week has rejuvenated the appetite again, on paper signing good players for this level, and a strip that looks great, especially getting navy shorts in the bin. Looking forward to the fixtures coming out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
