pleslie99 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 This season has, after starting very promisingly, got that shakey feeling about it. Morton were at the start of the season supposed to be crap, I think they will be easily safe, that leaves us, alloa and livi for bottom 3. Granted we have to play both these 2 in the coming weeks and a minimum of 4 points is a must. 6 points from opening 2 games against arguably on paper 2 of the league's strongest sides. Since then 1 solitary point. Goals look as though they are going to be hard to come by this season, at least defensively we don't look too bad. I would love to give the lad Ross a go up top along with Brophy and see if that can work. Another long hard season beckons....oh to be a sons fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we must change and look to be more of a threat but midfield changes are also required IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezeboxson Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just realised that Dylan Easton is a free agent after leaving St Johnstone in August. I reckon we lack someone who is a little bit creative going forward. Would he be worth a short term contract? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 If we had Lindsay or Gallgher available to play alongside Routledge we could push Brown up into a more attacking role. That's apparently his best position, he has the ability to pick a pass and one of his main strengths is supposed to be his ability to score from disatance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thommo90 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Pretty sure he signed at Hibs I mind seeing about 6 weeks ago he was going for a trial with them, not heard anything since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 If we had Lindsay or Gallgher available to play alongside Routledge we could push Brown up into a more attacking role. That's apparently his best position, he has the ability to pick a pass and one of his main strengths is supposed to be his ability to score from disatance. The lack of a goal threat is a total pisser as 11 goals conceded in 8 league games isn't a dreadful defensive record thus far. Brown is becoming more influential by the game but as you say his best work is a bit too deep so there's merit in your suggestion. Cawley's presence on the other hand I'm seriously beginning to question, and I get the feeling that we are continually hoping for end product rather than seeing it. I've said before that he and Gibson in the same starting eleven is probably too much mercurial trickery and it still looks that way. Young Brophy is probably prolific from 15 yards but for that we need a 'presence' alongside him to hold off defenders and provide knockdowns - Lister and the horribly-maligned Nish anyone - but we simply don't have that. Garry is not a time-served striker and it shows. Perhaps a fit Ross will do us a turn, there's that 'hope' thing again..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmacDFC Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'd like to see Gaz and McCallum; Fleming holding up the ball for McCallum's feet could be very useful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezeboxson Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Do you think he's any better than we have at the moment? The mind boggles Well that is exactly the thing. What do we have going forward? Creatively, absolutely nothing thus far. As I say, he may not be the answer in any way, shape or form but that's why I said a short term contract. Surely he wants to play rather than being a free agent. Maybe a rolling contract or a couple of months. If funds would allow of course! Likewise to Thommo I heard Hibs had him on trial but that was 6 weeks ago and not heard anything since so assume he still hasn't a club.

That's apparently his best position, he has the ability to pick a pass and one of his main strengths is supposed to be his ability to score from disatance. I am beginning to warm a little more to Brown with each passing week, but every time he's hit one from outside of the box it's sailed miles over the bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren1872 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hope to see something like this Routledge can push on to make a 6 man midfielder with Fleming dropping back, or fall back to make a 4 man defence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we lack someone who is a little bit creative going forward. Would he be worth a short term contract? Easton did hee-haw to convince anyone in his time here last season. He's another in a line that includes Haswell, Halsmann, McKinnon, Ramage, Lamont and Petrie - how the f***did they ever get on the books of Premier clubs ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Easton got signed by us as he completely stood out in League Two while we were keeping an eye out on loanees we had down there. He also ran the show in the Premiership Development league. His attitude and unwillingness to listen to the coaches was apparently the reason he never got a chance and was then released. Also Browns capable of scoring some absolute rakers, but he misses plenty too, it'll be worth it when it does arrive though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
