He was injured, they let him train and recover with them, presumably with a view to re-signing him once he got fit. Also presumably on one of those deals that really upset some of our fans where we pay buttons but are doing the right thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which circles us back to the point @RandomGuy. was making in response to Nicolson - that he's been in the team recently as a facilitator and doing a reasonable job. Regardless of whether the bold Eric can "see it" or not. Yer man Nicolson has some really, really bad takes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Remembering Alex Gorrin exists makes me happy and sad at the same time. Feelings are hard. All I want is someone who can pass a ball and snap someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me of Hutchy, at corners he was left to defend everything outside the Falkirk box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Looks like we'll be seeing Spencer continue on the left against County with Soare picking up another injury. Good to see Mika upgraded to 'Doubtful' for the weekend, but expect he'll be on the bench at best. Assuming he is fit to start in the coming weeks, and his Hibs cameo wasn't just a flash in the pan, what do we do with the shape? Revert to two up top with Mika and Bair/Wilkinson, or stick with the four central midfielders and one striker? Biereth didn't strike me as a lone forward in his limited minutes so if we want him on the pitch I'm guessing it'll have to be in a two. Nice to have options I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Great to have options agreed Have to go to two, and use the lessons of how good Slattery and Spittal can be moving forward to add to that attack rather than solely rely on it as teams are wise to it I think Tempted to bring Butcher in to be the sitting midfielder. Harsh on Paton though. If Butcher has said he wants to play CB though I'd stick him straight in there Good few ways to play it now as we move forward the next few weeks and being able to bring the likes of Paton, Miller, Slatts etc on to the field will be great rather than having no bench 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I honestly don’t think we can persevere with this. A formation with 2 wing backs that offer neither pace or width is incredibly predictable. Livi clearly knew everything was going to go through Slattery and Spittal in the middle of the park and set out to suffocate the pair of them out the game. Which forced us wide and then inevitably backwards. Which led to lots of aimless balls being clipped forward towards Bair who often had 3 defenders on his back. Was remarkable the amount of people around me that seemed to think a lot of this was Bair’s fault by the way. Whether he goes with 2 up top or just brings in Davor for Miller, I think we have to sort out the wing back situation. Personally I’d be tempted give Gent a shot here. It’s a game we’d expect to be on top and have a fair amount of the ball and the very least he’d at least offer us some pace and natural width. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. I don't have anything against SOD at all, but if wing backs are our only width then we need pace on both sides. Spencer on the right and Gent on the left would be good to see on Saturday. Bair & Wilkinson to start up top and hopefully Mika has half an hour in him at the end. If Butcher is anywhere near fit, he starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all at the same time no. But, we won't be able to fit Spittal, Paton, Miller, Slattery all on the field at the same time if we play 2 up. So will be nice to have whoever is not playing from that midfield 4 able to come on and change a game a bit - is what I was trying to say in a clunky way. If I had my way I'd go the below. Paton to come on and relive a knackered midfielder at some stage. Miller to do the same once he's back. EDIT: Not Gent twice but I cannae be bothered changing that now..

All depends on where he see's butcher fitting in as well. from what I have seen I wouldn't be hugely against Bair and Biereth as a pair either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
