I know Tait can play there but you'd imagine he'll be RB. Would rather see Ethan getting a run out at CM as that's his natural position. I don't think anyone wants to see Erhahon at LB, not even Erhahon himself! The lad seems to have something about him, just not in defence. I agree with you, btw, we have plenty of cover for the RB position. Not only was Tait an RB before needing to cover LB at Motherwell, we'll have Flynn (when fit) and Sheron can cover at CB and RB going by reports. For me we _need_ a CB an LB and ideally a versatile loan player who can cover both LB plus across the back. I'm not overly concerned about the striking position, although an extra body in there would be nice. Edited July 10, 2020 by Ric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait played primarily as first choice LB for 'Well for a couple of seasons. If Flynn was match fit I'd say, given how well he has played at RB, he would be there and Tait at LB. However, in our current situation, who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Flynn was match fit I'd say, given how well he has played at RB, he would be there and Tait at LB. However, in our current situation, who knows? It really all depends on how Goodwin (and Flynn himself I suppose) sees his position now. I thought he did an admirable job at RB and we have quite the stock of midfielders so perhaps the idea is to play him there, which would more Tait over to LB. I believe however, Tait is a right sided player naturally and I'm keen on playing players in their more natural positions. What's more will Flynn be fit enough for the start of the season? "Current situation" is the real operative phrase though. With a smaller squad, and with limited spaces in the midfield to accommodate him, Flynn's only guarantee of being in the starting 11 is at that RB position.

ulysses Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Goody loves players that can play multiple positions so can definitely see Flynn starting the season at RB. I would just prefer a left-footed player at LB. If the Shaughnessy deal falls through, wonder if we'll be looking for a left-sided centre half like Famewo, who can also play LB? Or a LB who can play centre half, whatever way around Edited July 10, 2020 by ulysses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one of those positions we feel we have to fill has had an offer." https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/jim-goodwin-insists-patience-vital-22333064 Last week he said we were close with two - guessing Sheron was one. The one that we're down the line with - mid 20s, plenty of experience, problem position - seems to point to Shaughnessy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZingaliMan Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Wrote last year we should try and sign Nisbet see he is off to Hibs in a £250,000 deal. He will do well in the premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a Hibs player I would tell the club to f**k off with the cuts they want them to take if they can splash that much on players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 So, we've got three defenders at the club for the kickabout at Hibs today? Assuming Flynn is a way off kicking a ball yet. Jim to pull the stripes back on?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I keep telling you, it's looking like 3 at the back, Tait McCarthy and Baird. Be afraid, be very afraid.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Although they're better in midfield Macpherson and Erhahon can play full back if required. They'll probably do this until we can sign more defenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Good to see one of the young lads getting among the goals. Guessing both XI's had a mix of youth and first team players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
