Lichtie78 Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 I saw Richardson a couple of years ago when he was on loan at Dundee North End, only thing I can remember is that he looks like Phil Foden. 2 in 20 for Brechin is not great reading but hopefully he can kick on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 11 minutes ago, glasgowlichtie23 said: Poor management that we haven’t signed 4 strikers in case all 3 get injured! I mean, isn't it? Three strikers is now the exact minimum needed for a 2 striker system. Two to start, and one on the bench for later on, because this is the 5 sub era and teams can replace half their starting line ups with fresh players. If a single one of those 3 gets injured, then we're back in crisis mode. So yes, if you were serious about playing "2 up top", then I'd argue 4 strikers is the correct number to have in the squad, with 1 not being as strong as the other 3 (e.g. a youth or veteran). If you were playing 1 up front, then you'd have 2 with one backup. Isn't this a fairly elementary football concept? I don't feel this is a particularly radical thing to say? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Meh But was either going to be a young lad or a jobber - know not a thing about him - been on Dundee bench all of League Cup and last Sunday tbf so they must think there is promise there Good luck to him Edited August 9 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoundO Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Now we desperately need a couple of better midfielders- it’s a real weakness in our squad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like to see players given a chance, so I don't judge them before seeing them, but you were one of the people absolutely adamant that we shouldn't be signing "bodies" to fill the squad. Furthermore, when others doubted the quality of loan players, you went on about how there have been so many great loan players. We've come a long way from that to "But was either going to be a young lad or a jobber". The sheer revisionism of that statement is absolutely staggering! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 One positive about Richardson is that despite his age he’ll have a good amount of adult football under his belt having spent a good bit of time in the juniors and then at Brechin last season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLichtie86 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Can see it being 1 out, 1 in now. Stowe for a left sided player to offer cover for LB and LM. Walker for a DM/CB option as we have 4 players that can play at RB just now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others on here, not a fan of his, yes he achieved a lot, not a pleasant individual however. Keep up the good work Least amount of questions I’ve ever had to ask every guest is different. Guys like Pat Scullion are probably the opposite in my case, left me plenty of room to get questions in. I’d have been daft to go in thinking he wouldn’t be talking a lot, but hey every is different. I just sat back and enjoyed the show appreciate the kind words anyway mate, I’ll see what I can do to get someone that may peak all of your interest a wee bit more on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Ray McKinnon is just the man for your club. I'm sure his present employers won't be hard to deal with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
