camer0n_mcd Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Whilst Wilkinson scored a few goals he's never looked like a player that was going to succeed here. Suppose it's probably best for both parties if he leaves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I thought Wilkinson was more useful than Shaw or Obika but aye, we don't need 5 strikers and if it's a case of him being the easiest/most willing to shift then it's what needs to be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Wilkinson has been a funny one. For all he's tall, he's not physical, and for all he has a decent touch for a big lad, he's as slow as treacle. He would need to be deployed in a very specific role which certainly isn't Kettlewell's wild centre mid shout, I think we can all agree. He's scored a couple of decent efforts, but it just seems like one of those moves that hasn't worked out well for either party and an amicable parting of ways would be best for all concerned. If we could offload both him and Shaw and replace them with one really decent forward option in their place, then that would be the perfect scenario. Sounds promising on the outgoing front, let's see if we can improve on an incoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bit of this yesterday, Bair seemed to be the central player and Biereth off to the left, Kettlewell should tinker with that set up, and make it work, presumably Shaw is injured for Tuesday so the midfield should be bolstered. I doubt Obika could produce whatever SK was expecting from Shaw. Blaney, Butcher or Mugabi at the back? Or a fourth right back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did manage to clear the ball off the line when Biereth laid it on a plate for him. We should have won that. I joined the fan club in early November, get on board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 13 hours ago, capt_oats said: Anyway, on the point of daft team selections and Ketts tying himself in knots here's our form since Gorgeous Georgie Gent and Davor began starting. There was a point early door’s yesterday where Davor hit a cracking first time ball in behind the Livi full back for Gent to race on to, he left him for dead and put in a peach of a cross for Biereth- who in all honesty really should have scored. But still, tears in my eyes stuff. Reminiscent of Goss to Max Johnston last season and everything I’ve been screaming about for months. Crazy the difference having some natural pace and width in the wing back roles actually makes. Last few weeks is by far the most balanced we’ve looked in months. Think it was after the Hearts game where I really lost faith Kettlewell. When despite Gent’s impressive cameo in Perth a few days earlier, he started that day with Spittal at lwb and finished it with Mugabi up front. Then two games later he went up to Dingwall with SODS at lwb and Wilkinson in midfield. I genuinely think Kettlewell’s been his own worst enemy at times this season. I honestly think if he’d started Gent from the Hearts game onwards and shown a bit more trust in Davor, we’d have picked up at least another win by now. I’d say all things considered, he can count himself fairly fortunate to have gotten through to the window still in a job. However I’d have probably said the same about Robinson in the 18/19 season and in fairness, he learned from his mistakes and managed to turn things round significantly. Like others have said, it’ll be interesting to see if Kettlewell makes the most of his reprieve and where he goes from here. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 A win, a loss and a draw in our next three games, in any order puts us back on par for a point a game season. Happy days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliphas Pettigrew Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Any incomings next month have to be the right ones and be able to hit the ground running ...... the summer recruitment has been one of the contributing factors to how bad this season has turned out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfadden22 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Anybody any idea why Hibs & St Johnstone were the only 2 teams not playing yesterday. I know they played one another on 16 Dec but it doesn’t seem fair that two teams get a week between fixtures while the others only get 3 days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier in the week, I feel like we've been in quite poor form, and he panicked a bit with the Wilkinson midfield nonsense, and tied himself in knots in fear of Gent's defensive frailties/his off the field stuff, and Davor being thrown about like an empty trackie in Paisley early in the season. I thought the criticism of the second half was a bit over the score yesterday, we're a team low on confidence keeping a team fairly comfortably at arms length. Baby steps. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 David's tiny but he gets stuck in at least. I'm a fan. The second half was fucking terrible to watch, make no mistake. But we done a professional job of keeping Livi from scoring again so it's not really a complaint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club video of his first showed it to be a better finish than I first thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
