Ludo*1 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Jordan Marshall has a cracking engine and cross on him but not a chance is he top flight quality, even as a back-up. I quite liked him at Dundee but he's extremely weak defensively to the point of being a liability and his attacking attributes aren't good enough to make up for that. A very average Championship level LB. Strapp would be a superior signing if you had to go for one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Very odd that the booming diagonal (out the park although I get that isn't the intention) appears to have been an actually planned tactic in both away games yet at home to Arbroath we reverted to playing some decent football. I can't get my head round that at all especially given the level of opposition and then there is the persisting with it after it ended out the park the first half dozen times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that the ball going out the park isn’t intentional? I remember when we used to use this tactic from kick offs under Gus MacP and Billy Mehmet ran down the wing at kick off but the ball always went out. I was at an agm where a supporter asked why we did this if the ball always went out. Gus answered that the whole point was to put the ball out and Mehmet was to stop them taking a quick throw. It allowed us to get the ball into their half, get players forward and put them under pressure.. Rugby tactic! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 No problems with Gallacher going to United, seems like Dundee is the destination for our ex-defenders. What I find odd is that Goodwin clearly thought Gallacher wasn't good enough for the Premiership with Aberdeen as he shipped him out early, and for little money, now the role is reversed and we are shipping him back to a Goodwin side for little money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunne tried it a few times on Saturday and Robinson did his dinger. Unsure if it was because of poor quality, or because he wasn’t meant to be doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingaliMan Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 As our first League game is nearing anyone wanting to see how Hibs are shaping up can watch them today live on BBC iPlayer double check I'm sure it's a 4.15 kick off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempes Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 4pm kick off for Hibs. Wonder if Youann will be playing. I’m sure Robbo hopes JB can put the shackles on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat right behind Robbo at Montrose and he didn't really react to the umpteen misplaced diagonals which baffled me at the time. He did get animated though when Dunne and Gallagher were tippy tappy between each other as the second half progressed which suggested to me the instructions had been to get the ball forward quickly. It's the total change in tactics at home from that style which is baffling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttocks Brown Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 If we can beat Forfar and win the group then we'll be unseeded so fairly likely we'll get a tough tie in round 2: 25% chance it'll be Old Firm. Still, if all Olusanya contributes this season is that Cowdenbeath goal then it could prove to be very valuable. Killie got to Hampden last year after coming out of the group stage unseeded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Thought I'd have a look at the squad and look at all our current options for positions in the 3-5-2. I might be pushing it a bit with some of them but see what you think. Players listed in no particular order.

There are only 3 seeded places up for grabs and it looks pretty likely that Airdrie and Ross County will take two of those with perfect 12 point records. Some of the other groups will have 11pt winners or at worst 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Really annoying as we could not have asked for a better group. We really should have had the 12 points. Makes it extremely hard to progress in the next round, IF we get there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like Airdrie are in that pot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
