wastecoatwilly Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Going from a passive negative shit-fest to a open and more expansive set up will never end well, white knuckle ride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next few games could be rough but we should look more like a team the first game of next season. With Considine and Hoban at the back with no pace you saw that exposed at the weekend,Ross and Ramsay is a positive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not at all stressed about Glass' appointment. Right now the process is seeing who can play the way he wants, and who canna. Saturday showed many can't, especially the defenders. I'm excited to see who he brings in Scott Brown being at the club is a huge plus in terms of recruitment. Brown will protect the back line plus he needs runners off him to start an attack and create but he also needs pace behind him to cover the ground he can't. I think Campbell will develop his positional sense with brown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 First I've seen us linked with him. Wouldn't have imagined more midfielders would be a priority, good as he has looked at times for St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarEastDon Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 13 hours ago, CCB19035 said: Yeah, Brown can only be a good thing. He'll drop between the defenders and take the ball as well, will be weird as f**k seeing him in a dons shirt! New to this and about to register so not sure if this has been posted or not before.... I don't see Brown as the charging attacking force he was with Celtic - he just doesn't have the legs for it any more. However, what I do see him as is a leader who can direct the play on the pitch just by his presence, and as a character who players will listen to. He also reads the game well, so for me he's more likely to play either just in front of the back four, or potentially even just behind in an 'old-fashioned' sweeper-type role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the thing about Kamberi wearing gloves is absolute drivel. The article should be asking why Kamberi was played on the right side of midfield with a brief to chase United strikers back to his own bye-line, not why he chose to keep his hands warm. The rest of it is pretty much spot on though. The players were both terrified, and mentally and physically shattered. Glass should be asking why that was. Why a game against Celtic on the Wednesday (where they played well) had such a big negative effect on men who are apparently young athletes. And why were they terrified ? Is it because they were so uncomfortable with the tactics and insecure of their own roles in the team, that they were as a unit unable to react once things started to go wrong ? Everybody has a bad day at the office, and Glass has only started his job, but he was done up like an absolute kipper by Mellon who knew exactly how we were going to play and how to counter it. Given the importance of the game - and the fact that in hindsight it was a glorious opportunity to win a cup thrown away - it's only right to ask questions about how it went so badly wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negative Glass stories started before he was even appointed. I don’t really have an issue with him making excuses for the team in public, most managers apart from Lennon do this, but I would certainly hope that behind the scenes he was ripping into them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the over arching theme that we were shite and there's a big job to do is right but I'm not sure we should dignify that article with a 'spot on'. There's a load of hyperbolic drivel in there. 'A malaise hidden by year after year of 2nd and 3rd place finishes...' Eh, I don't think finishing 2nd was ever really a sign of malaise and he'll have to point me to the last time we finished 3rd (2014). Kamberi in gloves is yer da nonsense, as you say you could just criticise his actual performance and role which was woeful. I'd suggest the article is stating the bleeding obvious dressed up with a load of irrelevant pish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pile of shite that "story", full of snidey comments but lacking in substance. Where were all these stories when the Dons were "claiming second and third place finishes"? The league must be utter garbage to allow the Dons to finish so high so consistently if they've been so crap for so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have imagined more midfielders would be a priority, good as he has looked at times for St Mirren. It's an interesting one. On first reflection, it's true, we're loaded with midfielders. But if you consider that many of them are similar....Ferguson, Campbell, McCrorie....and that we're likely to rely less on McGinn and Hayes, it makes sense to try and bring in an attacking midfielder that will push 20 yards further up the park than Ferguson. If you want a St Mirren analogy, we need a Billy Stark. I don't know enough about McGrath to comment on his game, but I'd say that there's definitely space in the team for an attacking midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
