I'd hope Dipo finds a way upwards. That JML settles and that McGuire is found out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Rose in for Bryden, Stanger possibly back in at expense of McGinty or Musonda and possibly Ahui at RB if McAllister out, but not convinced that will improve us after his short cameo but only time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pendlebury must be due a start even if Murdy is fit, 3 goals in 3 games if you count the Kilmarnock friendly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was actually thinking he'd be in for Murdoch anyway as looked like Andy took a bit of a knock. Don't know what anyone else thinks but any 2 from 3 is how I see them at the minute although It could easily be argued that Pendlebury has more scope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Dempsey has been good but let's be honest 95% of his goals have been from the spot Pendlebury seams to have that wee bit about him and is not afraid to have a go from distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie is much more forward thinking than Pendlebury from what I've seen of him. Pendlebury seems more of a competitor with Dempsey and Murdoch as don't think you could play all three in the same team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are completely different players, but Pendlebury seems to have more of a goal threat than McKenzie. Pendlebury offers a third central midfielder when we are struggling, while it also potentially allows our wide players to be higher up the pitch where they can impact things more. It is basically just a slight change of formation really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BukyOHare Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I feel really sorry for Smith. Pendlebury has come right in and is getting minutes in the team and I know they aren't like for like players but if we're going to persist with 2 in the middle of the park, Smith finds himself 4th choice through no fault of his own. At his age he really needs more regular minutes to develop and for us to truly find out what the ceiling of his development is. At a time when a common theme seems to be our inability to retain possession, we seem to be overlooking the one central midfielder who's default mode is to do exactly that. Once everyone is fit, I'd like to see us with three in the middle of the park with Amartey and Murphy supporting Rose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly be worth trying but think we'd need better full backs to see it at its best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said similar in terms of Smith after the Morton game - if we continue to struggle to implement a more possession based style then Smith deserves his chance over a run of games to help with that. We still need improvement on the defenders front to allow that style too though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
