Ludo*1 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Just saw the highlights - wee bit harsh to blame Dieng IMO. There's another full passage of play before the ball is in the back of the net. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not gonna score many goals for us, but he keeps the ball at the right end of the pitch with his hold up play better than any of our other options and he's absolutely terrorising defences with the constant pressure he puts them under. I agree, but he's not a goalscorer and IMO one of Nelson or Miller should play as well when he's on the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srw Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Curran looks like a slightly better Moussa, works hard, hassles defenders, not bad link up play, but rarely looks good enough to score. A two and a half year deal for him is absolute madness, no other Premiership side would have contemplated it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we took over Yenited’s contract he’s probably only on what the rest of the squad average over 18 months. If we’re only going to play with 1 striker it has to be a goalscorer that can stretch the game as well. Nelson’s the only 1 that fits the bill. I’m hoping the only reason he didn’t play yesterday is that he’s not long back from a bad injury and wasn’t going to be risked on that surface unless it was a necessity. If it wasn’t, I don’t get McIntyre’s logic. Edited February 3, 2019 by Yenitit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the goalie made a decent recover , he’s back on his line well before the goal, there was a good few chances to get the ball clear again before it got to that thug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abso-feckin-lutely! Utter madness to not have at least one of our two most natural goal scorers on the pitch instead of watching games from the dugout. It'd be as mad as a manager stating publicly numerous times starting in early to mid December (the busiest month on the calender) that he was going to basically bin all of his team in January, and then expecting to get great results from those same players. Oh wait JM did that too. For the record I believe that we do have better players than Scamilton and St Mirren, and that we will finish 10th, but I am thoroughly lukewarm to McIntyre.

RossDee01 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 We have 9 players from our squad at the start of the season who have survived and 6 of those 9 are out of contract in the summer however Paul McGowan has the option to extend for a further year. Those out of contract are McGowan, Kerr, Kusunga, Parish, J. Curran and Darren O’Dea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a strong start. He's just very meh. I prefer Paul McGowan to Woods in midfield and they're too similar to play alongside each other. Woods would be much better if he accepted what he is, which is a decent ball winning hatchet man, but I bet in his eyes he views himself more as a Beckham type player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srw Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Woods is a below average player, a defensive fouler of other players is all he good at, he started well, but has got worse. Why he gets free kicks and corners though, he is simply terrible at them, I wouldn’t have him starting.

Yup, but I fear the County connection lads won't be dropped unless injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 "Martin Woods" and "ball winning" shouldn't be in the same sentence, unless that sentence is "Martin Woods is not a ball winning midfielder". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, a Ross County ball winning midfielder is massively different to a Dundee ball winning midfielder. We've never really had a no holds bar CM for as long as I remember whereas Ross County seem to have mastered the art of developing them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO I sympathise, but you’ll have to get used to it if JM is around for any length of time. McInytre is fiercely loyal, unless there is an inexplicable fall-out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
