Ferguson, McCrorie and Campbell are all too similar. Scott Allan seems to be out of the picture at Hibs....I think he would fit in our midfield very well. I quite like Allan and I would like someone with some of his traits, but I'd hope we would be aiming slightly higher than a guy touching thirty who has recently been loaned to the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Today wasn't nearly as bad as some folk would have you believe. The main issues were caused by guys who aren't going to be here next year anyway. At one point we played our way around their press on the right wing brilliantly...until the ball reached McGinn who took the ball back 15 yards towards our own goal from a promising counter attacking position. Hayes, as mentioned by @Bob Mahelp and McGinn slowed down everything today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite why we are invariably then so poor in the 2nd half I have no idea. And the second really was as bad as made out. As has been said, a good summer to freshen things up and make changes. Can’t come quick enough tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of everybody etc etc. Campbell seems to be taking a lot of flak for "safe, short passes". It must have been near double figures where he played a cross field pass to a player in space in the opposition third. What the player does from there isn't his fault. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really get the Campbell criticism either. I haven't always been his biggest fan, but most of his passes today seemed to be quite progressive and positive. His job was probably made harder by the lack of intelligent movement ahead of him centrally at times. I certainly thought he was the best, or the least bad, of the midfield three today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would agree. You can certainly tell he has been told to be a bit more forward thinking. Derek absolutely likes a midfielder to play the safe passes. Look at Ryan Jack with us and how he plays for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did that at Tannadice the other week and he was probably our best player that day. I think he's one of the players that Glass will be most looking forward to working with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Tbh I love the way Campbell is always available to the back 4 for a pass. For a 20 year old that’s great responsibility to take on. His decision making and execution are not there yet, and he’s never going to be a regular goal threat but he’s absolutely got something. No guarantees but I like him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the dead wood who add nothing to the team....Hayes, Kennedy, McGinn et al....and start to give more game time to players like Ramsey, Ross, Campbell and others. An awful lot of dead wood to get rid off. Ferguson was anonymous today and looked pretty disinterested - I wonder if he has been told he will next to be sold. Liked the look of Ramsay but need to see him against better quality opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I know that they’ve only had one first team game each and it’s very early days, but we could really be onto something with our two young full backs. With Jack McKenzie available again for next Saturday, I would love to see him and Calvin Ramsay starting. Of course, given what’s been happening this season the chances are that Calvin Ramsay is now out for the season with whatever injury he picked up today. I also hope that we persevere with Ethan Ross, and I wouldn’t have taken him off today unless of course he had a knock. Given that Callum Hendry has scored all of our goals since he’s come in on loan, somebody else is going to have to step up to the mark if we are to have any chance of winning in Perth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter Roaster Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 My old boss used to have a rowie/buttery for his morning piece. He'd spread it with 2 of those little packets of butter, and washed it down with a coffee with 4 sugars. Great guy, deid now... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don exotic Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Pretty good Scottish Cup draw. Two home games against Livi and then potentially Dundee United. We need to find a way to score though. Hope Russell starts coaching ASAP! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
