dam00114 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 1 minute ago, D'Jaffo said: Aye I wouldn’t play both. I think if you’re only playing one of them you’d play Oakley. It all depends what kind of midfielder we sign though. Deeper lying midfielder a priority you'd think. Ultimately most of the better teams in the league play 1 up top for the extra body in the middle of the park (Raith, Partick, Falkirk). We were totally outnumbered in the first half of the Falkirk LC game in particular. Oakley and Dowds as a two will be effective against the weaker teams in the league you'd think. All about having different options of setting up over the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just thought I'd go on there and have a look after last night to see if they've been posted but I can't even see the comment anymore so presume it has been deleted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something along the lines of Brown and Whittaker looking at anything to possibly improve the home form and results. They decided to warm up on the other side and shoot into the SRE and they felt performances were better in doing it. It’s not set in stone and any feedback will be taken on board so it might change in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Given we've not been in the top division for like 50 years we should be open to trying some different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the options we have this season. For far too long we had a plan A and not a lot else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Can’t say I’ve not enjoyed Partick being so upset at having to bring on Logan Chalmers that they want their game replayed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 9 hours ago, shizzlemanizzle said: The shitshow going on up at ICT is a real eye opener to how things could have gone for us if Lachlan hadn’t batted away the no gooders. He had his fans and his critics but he was certainly no Scott Gardiner. If you haven’t already had a look and you’re bored, the ICT thread will fill an hour for you. There’s something for everyone. Evil current owners, rightfully petrified fans, a wee dose of racism, crypto kings, and an introduction to the new word entering the Cambridge Dictionary 2025. Oh aye, and big Dunc ‘allegedly’ half cut during after match interviews. It’s a good read (start at page 761) but some of you might want to wait until the Netflix 3 parter. In fairness, it is fairly wild that Ayr were sponsored by a gambling billionaire who swung so hard into crypto (behind a guy whose website the High Court has now judged has to declare himself a fraud) that for several years Ayr were sponsored by a completely worthless crypto project, all because the guy's surname sounded like the name of the town. Banter years semi-avoided on that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing he did was get some lassie to walk down the High Street with the strip painted on her body, we did get a lucky escape there in hindsight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he is more of a pacey forward which is what we are missing. Partick and Morton were also interested about a month ago. Think they were keen but had to fill other positions first and not sure that has happened yet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 99% sure the club were also accepting whatever crypto he used to buy strips also remember his dodgy gambling site that let you bet on the Moffs celebration, that wasn't dodgy in the slightest . Also he was going to buy the Moff a racehorse if he scored v Killie in the semi final hahaha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 23 hours ago, D'Jaffo said: He’s also not really bulked up all that much. He still looks like the skinny wee boy that made his debut and you’d have thought that with time he’d have done some work on that to get stronger. Always remember McCall saying that the switch to full time really benefited Forrest as he was able to grow into a man’s body and then he had a fantastic season for us before moving on. Even the likes of Watret looks totally different compared to last season so he’s put a bit of work in with that regard. Again, playing regular men’s football for East Stirling probably made him realise that to survive as a defender you can’t be bullied easily. I think to be a good striker at this level you need to be strong or quick. Failing that, you need to be a really intelligent player which you only really see with experienced players dropping down a level. Bryden is none of those things. He gets given the ball and either tries to run in a straight line or quick it away from him in the direction of a teammate. It’s maybe that he’s better suited to playing in the box and won’t get involved much in the build up but we haven’t actually seen much of him in that position. That's actually quite off the mark. He'll not grow much now in terms of height, but he has bulked up this summer, especially in his legs etc. He looks much physically stronger. He is just never going to have pace which will be half his problem and needs to learn the side of the game Moffat learnt later on in his career in terms of link up play etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
