callum-ayr Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Striker Rob Harker got their 2 goals, maybe one we’re looking at? See he’s 6ft so would fit the profile of one we’d want. Edited July 14, 2021 by callum-ayr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Folks remember if we do get the tickets from Hamilton it’s 6pm KO , due to floodlight work at Hamilton 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BukyOHare Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 10 hours ago, Superhursy7 said: Few folk moaning on the SRE Facebook page that Adeloye did not do enough last night and needs to track back more. Let the "experts" on Facebook rant and rave about his performance. It is actually possible for a striker to trackback too much. So much so that when his team get possession he's nowhere to be seen. Case in point, Harry Kane last Sunday night, no touches in the opposition penalty box throughout the game. For your main striker that's unacceptable, at any level of the game. If you were writing the job description of a lone striker you'd want him to work hard right along the back 4 from the first whistle, ideally bringing pace and physicality, be strong with his back to goal, link play to bring in runners and supporting players and to score when the chances come to him. A tick in every box from me for the big man based on last night's performance, albeit against a lower league team. Why does anyone still go on the SRE anyway?! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it never occur to people that Hopkin might have actually told him not to chase defenders too much and hold his position, leaving the dirty work to Salkeld and McKenzie? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not told Muirhead or Baird then, they kept shouting at him to shift his arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitbafollower Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Yes I noticed that Tomi lacked movement and workrate last night he needs to work harder to create space as the lead striker to be found and bring others into the game with us not playing with natural Tomi as main striker must work for his teammates to find him consistently to create goal scoring chances 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Hopkin mentioned after the game that Adeloye was still 2-3 weeks behind everyone else from a fitness point of view. Hence the lack of tracking back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 He certainly put more effort in to the 60 odd mins he was on TV he pitch than Wright did in all his appearances, I think there is a lot more to come from him as he hits full fitness. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Here’s a question for you all………. Who would take a 0-0 draw, first game of the season, away to THEM, right now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would take a 0-0 draw, first game of the season, away to THEM, right now?Away from home first game of the season against the favourites to win the league I'd take a point right now, saying that killie are going to have to gel a brand new squad of so far 14 new signings in a very short period of time so maybe first game of the season is a perfect time to play them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanayr1987 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I’d also say that Tomi played exactly how I’d have wanted him to play against Edinburgh, he did take a knock too so I wouldn’t push him too much in the next game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a pity we can’t get up there in numbers and show our new guys what an Ayr away day is all about . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
