I thought Phillips looked a really good player but looks like a player who takes one extra touch than he needs. Slows it down a bit. When he doesn't take that extra touch he misplaces the pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 So Clark is injured, Kane is likely injured if he's getting put down as a doubt and Jephcott is still carrying timber. We can't have May up front on his own as we know it doesn't work. Appreciate Maclean is probably frustrated that a professional footballer who hasn't had any reported injuries can't get himself fit in the 3 or so months he's been with us, but we surely have to throw him in against Livi. Jephcott and May probably won't work but May up top on his own definitely won't and there's not really anyone else who can play beside him. What a shit show 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirton Saint Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 A professional footballer should br able to keep themselves fit over the summer, even if they're a free agent for a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Quick look on Google shows it’s probably just the way he is. Agree with Kyle in that he should start, alongside May, on Saturday as it can’t be much worse than the alternative, surely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) May as a lone striker hasn't been working at all so the last thing we should do is stick to it. Especially after the comments from the manager about if you played both it means you have no strikers on the bench.... I'd rather have no strikers on the bench than having one on the pitch struggling! Edited September 26, 2023 by SJFCtheTeamForMe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentino Bolognese Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Fairly sure we've played Drey Wright as a striker at points too. Not that I'm saying we should. Talking of wingers, where's this other new one disappeared to? Have we signed Jahmal Hector-Ingram again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I dont think the issue is how many strikers so much as what kind of strikers we have. Nobody in the squad except Kane and Clark seem able to be the focal point others can play off, and one seems like a complete crock now (whos contracted until 2025...) while the others likely going to have patchy spells with knocks due to how much he missed.

Radford Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 “It could take someone to grab the bull by the horns for our season to ignite. “An attitude of I’m going to get cut or put my head on something that might break my nose to score a goal. “The blood soon wipes off when you do that. “Sometimes you need to be brave, whether through your own performance, by leading or by talking. You need leaders all over the park.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 “I don’t rule out anything and we’re always looking at different things. “I’ve never been against a three (at the back) and, if I think it’s the right thing, I’ll maybe do it. “You are always trying to search for answers. “When you are not winning games you might change personnel or shape. “I’ve probably not had the personnel yet to play 4-4-2. “I don’t think we’ve been beaten this season because we’ve not been prepared properly. It’s been poor goals. “We haven’t been played through or battered with our shape – even in the Old Firm games. “The first goal is massive. When you score that first goal, you can pick teams off when they have to come on to you. Instead, we have been the team chasing.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perfect example of this I would imagine would be David Wotherspoon. He has been without a club since July and is 10 years older, but there is no chance it would take him any more than a couple of weeks to get himself fit enough to start a game. More to the point, why has a guy with his experience and quality without a club in nearly October? Given we are willing to give game time to McPherson who contributes less than nothing, we could do worse than Spoony on a short term deal to provide us something different, given we are seeing no evidence of the style of play the manager said was part of the reason he let him go.... On McPherson, is he isn't playing for someone like EK or Darvel in the next 5 years I'd be very very surprised. Has neither the physicality or heart to play at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) McPherson isn't a premiership player but Darvel or East Kilbride? I'm one of his worst critics but even I think he could handle league 2. It's more worrying that managers/coaches actually trust him with set plays.

Do wonder if hes just been nervous about committing to a move after being with us so long, and not really expecting. Sounds like he couldve easily been signed by Dunfermline or Airdrie by now, but Dunfermline moved on to other targets. Genuinely do think it would be worthwhile bringing him back at this stage, with how far away some players look, but its not happening under MacLean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Don’t know if these are good/worthwhile stats or not but quite wild how far ahead of the rest of the league Mitov is. He’s my main source of hope at the minute, keeps us relatively competitive single-handedly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
