lichtie23 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 As disappointing as yesterday was it just means we will have to start yet another historic winning run. I still think the league is safe. We need defensive cover tho and yesterday showed why. I’d also much rather have Kane Hester back at the club than keep Callum Smith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexico Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 What a game to get back on track next week. There is no need to panic, the inevitable defeat has come, but it won’t be too damaging as long as we crack on starting next week. Id like to see us go back to the system and personnel that has produced our best football this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relichtie Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 MCKenna must start up front. The question is who should partner him? I'd go with Doris and keep Wallace in reserve. It's what do we do to replace Swankie?. Has to be Pongo for me with either Whately or Gold on the bench.JamiesonThommo Little Tob HammyKader Gold/Whately Pongo LinnMcKenna Doris/Wallace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace, we have played our best football with him up there. Doris looks miles away from being sharp, some fans need to stop looking at Doris in a romantic sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big lichtie Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 doris needs game time to get sharper. back in the day a player coming back from injury had reserve games to get match fit. alas these days have gone so therein lies the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s part of the problem, when Doris plays we just end up limping the ball up to him and forget we are actually a class footballing team at this level, it’s like watching Scotland with Duncan Ferguson back in the day at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. But then surely it’s tactics we need to look at then, he needs to game time to get back to his best, the impact he’s had off the bench even when he wasn’t fit has been class 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Long balls were never going to work against Davidson yesterday. It was a totally pointless exercise. Then we decided to put smith up there against him. f**k knows why 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Wouldn't mind playing McKenna in the number 10 role next week. He certainly needs to be in the middle somewhere, complete waste on the wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him time. He’ll be a real asset in the second half of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Callum Smith hasn’t had a great time with injuries, not allowing him a real run in the team, but I’m honestly not sure what he’s actually good at. Agree with everyone else that McKenna has to play through the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big lichtie Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 its obvious mexico is not a doris fan so when we won the league under dc when that season doris at times was unplayable under sheering when we won the league playing football on the deck think he scored 18 goals that season. so to say when doris plays its a lump up the park is ridiculous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also not talking about 2 years ago and we are now in a division higher, football changes and we have played our best football this season without him. And when he has played, we have started to lump balls up to him and push more effective players wide such as McKenna and Wallace to accommodate him.

I like Doris a lot, when he got hurt last season, he was our best player, he was out for an age, he needs games, it's unfortunate we have such a small squad and he's been brought straight back into the squad, when ideally a couple of months out on loan playing games, scoring goals, would have benefited him and the team, although he is getting fitter, for the good of the team, we need to go back to Wallace and McKenna 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
