super_carson Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Is Reading not likely to play further forward than Maxwell? I was sure that Reading was played at LM for the u21s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also forgot about McAllister who seems to be quite highly regarded so all in all we seem to be getting there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or given Maxwell's goals return it could be vice versa . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think his agent wrote the VORs article as well….hopefully the boy is as good as the person doing his PR Against Stranraer, Fjortoft played in front of the back 2 in possession and in a back 3 out of possession, Muirhead did the same in the last 2 games. The full backs didn’t go forward much. playing that way we can defend as a back 5, counter attack as a back 3 or retain possession as a back 4. plenty of options to change things* *defensively 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still maybe needing a couple (midfield and striker) but not too bad at all. Yup, central midfielder and striker and that’s us IMO. 7 minutes ago, diegomarahenry said: I think his agent wrote the VORs article as well….hopefully the boy is as good as the person doing his PR Against Stranraer, Fjortoft played in front of the back 2 in possession and in a back 3 out of possession, Muirhead did the same in the last 2 games.

Superhursty7 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It's a system more suited to playing football not hoofball, things might not be a doom as gloom as we thought and looking at O’Connors highlights he's rapid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 3 hours ago, D'Jaffo said: Given we play with 3 centre backs at any one time and 2 wingbacks it’s actually normal to have more defenders than any other positions. Also given that some of those defenders I.e Reading, Maxwell, Muirhead, McAllister will play elsewhere when needed and there’s no real issue here. Thanks for playing though. It’s ‘normal’ to have 10 (ten) defenders in a lower Championship squad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 It’s ‘normal’ to have 10 (ten) defenders in a lower Championship squad?If you play with 5 defenders at a time and when some of them can cover other positions then I don’t really see an issue. We’ve got just enough players to fill all the positions and have cover in other positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Mentioned in his interview he can play wingback, Morton fans will be in soon enough to say we have an eleventh defender. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Cant say I know anything about o'connor, I'd never heard of him until a few days ago, but wont judge until I've seen him play for us. Saying all that I dont have anything to fear for Monday night * * looking like I'll be there so hopefully I dont jinx it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Two strikers, but no mention of a central midfielder... I guess the positive of two, would mean McKenzie would possibly go out on loan and get some proper game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
