Guest Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I take it Adeloye only had a 1 match and will be back for Morton ? As much as Moff worked tirelessly on Saturday, he's just no longer got that yard of pace or sharp movement that's required to play up top, especially when support is pretty lacking most of the time. He's still got the wee touches and the brain is still great but as far as spinning off and running in behind is concerned I'm afraid that ship has sailed. While our guys all did great on Saturday, it was obvious that we had nothing like the control that we did against Raith, probabaly due to the fact that we had lost Bradley and Adeloye and replaced with Muirhead and Moff, which although made us pretty solid, it did noticeably blunt our possession and quality when coming forward, especially in the second half and as such we had to ride our luck at times (although they did defend brilliantly). Basically what I'm trying to say is that we need guys to come in who will give us more control of games as the sitting deep style will come and bite us sooner rather than later but of course at the moment we really have little option due to the make up of our squad and that's what needs to change rapidly I'd think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by Instagram, I think Tomi might be injured too. Frankly, we are pretty fucked without him so hopefully he is fine for the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just hoping we keep him long enough that he gets to play in a team with a bit of attacking threat. He should get well into double figures this year with 16 games left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, treat him like a football player, and not a target man to fire the ball at (which he isn’t capable of being) and he is a very good player at this level. Deceptive turn of pace when he gets the chance to get down the outside of people too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Good to see the club are giving all season ticket holders a fair crack of the whip in terms of access to games. There will be folk that have pie’d the last two games thinking we would get bumped now desperate for a ticket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working examples about allowing full indoor social clubs but not allowing socially distanced outdoor crowds withing a few yards of each other should also be getting hammered into them by the authorities and our media but as long as the old firm aren't affected then quite obviously nobody gives a toss !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Total it absolutely does, per 100k people we are edging ahead. It also relies on people actually testing and honestly reporting. Nobody knows the true figures. Either way the numbers are incredibly high at present in both countries. Luckily this seems to be a relatively mild strain in the grand scheme of things. Anyway, what are the thoughts on the backroom team. One name that has came to mind for me is Eddie May as a potential coach. Worked with one of the youth coaches at Falkirk when he was their manager, seemed to be pretty well thought of as a coach but absolutely not manager material. He's currently in the Hibs youth setup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad shout tbf. I think it’s probably going to be someone currently working in Scotland will ties either to Bullen or Mathie. Eddie May has ties to both men. I’ve a feeling Timmins will end up staying on by default due to his contract but could probably be paid off in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, it’s minuscule either way at the moment tbh. But yeah, hopefully crowds rightfully restored tomorrow and this chat can be filed in the bin! Eddie May is an interesting shout.... I think Bullen was assistant to him at Falkirk? I didn’t realise he was at Hibs! Edited January 10, 2022 by No_Problemo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'm more interested in the playing side now as we'll soon have more backroom staff than players if we're not already there !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon mate, of course the total is going to be higher in England given it’s over ten times the size of Scotland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McAdams heads straight someone and I’m sure it’s Timmins so they possibly have a good relationship going back to Morton. Doesn’t really make sense having him and Stille effectively doing the same role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really make sense having him and Stille effectively doing the same role. Aye it’s a weird one. Hopkin clearly had a good relationship with Timmins and felt he offered more than just goalkeeper coaching. Might make sense for Stillie to leave seeing as he’s only available two days a week and put Timmins as the goalkeeping coach. Then let Bullen bring in two of his own guys. In saying that I wouldn’t be against big Tam Tait staying on as a first team coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
