Stoo61 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I liked MacDonald quite a lot, was looking good there until KRH took his place, beating a man and work rate never an issue. Yeah he could put a decent ball in, most players could do that on occasion. I always thought if he nailed down his final ball he could move up again but that was his weakness. I would have kept him if he was happy to be back up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I’m slightly surprised it’s a Partick Thistle fan asking about him over say Alloa. He’s a good league 1 player and I’d be doubtful he’ll stay FT unless it’s to be a similar bit part player for one of the lower paying sides. His final ball is abit inconsistent but he puts in enough good ones for that not to be too much of a concern, the bigger issue is going backwards, I don’t think mcpake ever fully trusted him defensively and I think it’s notable when he did start it was either with the expectation the opposition would be sitting in or he wasn’t being directly played at wingback, more as a wide midfielder with a back 4 behind him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Edwards had a worse success rate in terms of crossing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a lot like a money saving campaign given the loses and mismanagement reported. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree with that. @RandomGuy.might be able to data comparisons, possibly including KRH but I believe the wyscout system has a little bit of a fit over wingbacks as it tries to force them into being both wingers and full backs rather than acknowledging it as a particular position 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Edwards is good for a goal or two though and much better defensively. Could see MacDonald turn up higher in the Championship in a few years time, but he needs somewhere with a regular game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Can put the Burrell rumour to bed, he’s signed for Cove. He’ll come back to haunt Falkirk next season . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left is compared to full backs, right compared to wingers. Edited June 16, 2023 by RandomGuy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I’ve never even heard of Kyle MacDonald but he sounds like a big upgrade on our right backs last season. Hope we’re in for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I don’t even care if his crosses hit the car park half the time. Someone getting beyond their winger would be a huge leap forward and something we’ve not had since Daniel Harvie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agreed - I absolutely love a ball carrying full back, desperate for us to get one. Daniel Harvie though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea if he's any good defensively, we never played him as a RB, and when we played him as a RWB he'd have Comrie/Fisher inside him who'd do the defensive work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that MacDonald showed a bit of quality in hitting crosses from deeper positions as well as being able to hit the byline. He isn’t rapid, but is powerful and that helps to get by the fullbacks. I’d say his inconsistency with crossing is overstated tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t that quick but once he picked up a bit of momentum you couldn’t stop him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
