Silvio Tattiescone Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Same as last year. Slow out of defence and little movement up front. You can have the best defenders in Scotland but if they're all told to stand on spots like statues for corners, teams will walk through us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Oliver would we be a real asset in midfield. He has the brain and the legs and keeps it simple. He's a very smart player and uses the ball very well. Just not a finisher. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Horrendous defending for Abroath's goal. Bringing everyone back for a corner to mark no one, exactly the same as last season. Get it sorted McGlynn. Other than that we've looked ok, Spencer looks a big upgrade on McGinn who I'd sub off and go two up front to get after Abroath, who've offered very little That 45 minutes has also reaffirmed that Oliver and Mackie should be squad players only Edited July 15, 2023 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather see Lawal given the opportunity. Oliver is the one player that really divides opinion amongst our fans though.

Shodwall cat Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Still feel that out lack of physicality in the middle of the park may come back to haunt us again this season. Really need that bruiser in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really need that bruiser in midfield. There is still time in the window. I’d like to see a more physical midfielder and a right back come in before the league games start. I also think that McCann and Miller could like up well on the left given that Miller has played left back before and would have the positional sense to cover McCann at times. I’d have tried a front 2 of MacIver and Allan as well. Again, the manager might see things completely different from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre season can be very misleading though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Very ponderous so far. Agyeman involved a lot but virtually nothing coming off for him, looks to be rather one paced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cost us goals last season and will again this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balde Bairn Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Well good to see I’m pretty much bang on with the assessment of the team. Sadly it means we’re going to endure a miserable season with mcclown in charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
