eez-eh Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 17 minutes ago, diegomarahenry said: Are either McKenzie and McGuire described as a target man? or are they ball carriers? or are they like Moffat and beat players in a foot race or take defenders for a walk? Or are they both predominantly, fairly static ball to feet, penalty box forwards Ashford is a completely different forward, a nuisance who closes down defenders and does a power of work. He's not likely get close to scoring anything so needs to bring other players in to the game and create space for others. Which is ideal when you have supporting players like Mullen and O'Conner. McGuire has yet to score so your last point doesn't hold much weight. I don’t know what I’d describe either of them as, which is part of the problem. I definitely wouldn’t describe Maguire as a penalty box striker though. Neither of them contribute enough consistently. That’s about as far as the similarity goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 So next game Thistle will just control it for the 90 with minimal effort while we huff and puff trying to get a goal. Sounds about right. No thanks to that I'll just watch at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the interviewer was unaware of the situation why was Bullen's poker faced response not just edited out? As has been mentioned the feeling of deflation among the support when news filtered out was noticeable. Just clipped this, absolutely wild thing to put out on the morning of a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie is more of a target that can drift out wide at times too. Ashford and McKenzie are more similar in style but still different IMO. Anyway, that AU Media interview was infuriating - all we needed was a question on Dipo being back next week but nope, didn’t happen… He is sold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Yeah, Bullen's nervous tick with touching behind his ear when Dipo's name is mentioned is classic panic stations behaviour. Said way too much on the matter for what is basically a lie. Oddball behaviour tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
