Trogdor Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'd rather Sibbald over Crawford tbh. I'm still not sure what Robbie's best position is, I just know it's not on the wing of the midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best performances were always through the middle, just didn't suit him to sit wide left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 At airport waiting on flight home from London. Delighted with Musonda, JML is obviously an unknown. Slightly disappointed #Sibbz hasn’t been announced yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After signing JML i'd say he's very similar to Sibbald which would make me surprised if we signed Sibbald too. Think the only signings we'll be making will be another striker, CM and CB. RB position does worry me a bit, Houston really needs to step up cause on the whole he was rotten last year and at fault quite a few times for goals coming from a cross not being closed down quick enough. If we progress from the league cup group stage we'll obviously get more money so might allow us to make another loan signing in August? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can get goals and assists but he’s never been blessed with pace and does a lot of good things when playing deep. RB was a definite concern but Musonda seems to be well capable of playing there and Bangala is another option although we have no idea if he’ll be any good. I’d be really interested to see what happens with McAllister if he’s part of the plans or whether we’ll let him go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one other hope I'm clinging to is that the likes of Houston and Reading etc have gone from pretty much 0 first team experience to playing regularly for 2 years under what, 5 or 6 different managers? That's got to be absolutely brutal for a 19/20 year old to develop. Maybe a bit of stability might help them kick on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Sibbald played on the wing at times for Livi last season on a 3 man attack but not sure how successful he was there. Just remember Sibbald from his Falkirk days always being an advanced midfielder but even better if he can do the holding side too. If we're relying on Musonda possibly at RB we definitely need another CB that can step right in cause Jack Baird still gives me the fear and i'd be surprised if McAllister is anything more than a squad player on the bench most of the time. 10 minutes ago, Hursty said: The one other hope I'm clinging to is that the likes of Houston and Reading etc have gone from pretty much 0 first team experience to playing regularly for 2 years under what, 5 or 6 different managers?

Yeah agree with you on this one, i mean Houston did show signs of promise under Kerr before Covid and then there was obviously the lockdown and he came back to get an injury early on which set him back a while and he's just never really recovered from that to be perfectly honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say your old man is bang on , Dipo only got 45 mins but looked the part . Bumped his marker off more than once . The irony is he looks like perfect foil for big Tomi . Can’t have everything I suppose . Murdy has a great game as did our centre back pairing of Frankie and big Sean . The rest seemed a bit young and light weight . Could do with some experienced lumps in the side . But as somebody else said it was just a bounce game and we still have three or four to come into the side . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be happy with Crawford but would give us 6 centre midfielders so I'd expect a loan out at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
