David Fernández Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 2 hours ago, ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds said: If Ballantyne’s suspended and no signings are made I suppose Gibson playing is quite likely, with Watson playing right back and McCabe joining Fordyce at centre back in a back 4, but it could possibly be Salim coming in if he’s fit to start and a shift to 442 with Smith and McGill out wide. Ideally a centre back or midfielder can be signed to avoid changing too much, but probably not too likely to happen before Saturday. Nine days until the league games start so the pen will surely be out before then. Might be the case McMaster will slip into the holding role, McCabe drop to centre back and Watson playing right back. I think with what we have and the way we played Tuesday night, 4-3-3 gets the best out of the players we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is probably the most likely change then and I agree we should try to stick to 4-3-3 as much as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing how much you watch a game and focus on the wee mistakes or crap touches. Think I saw somewhere he's on 3 assists for the tournament , fair play to the laddie. Having only watched it on DTV, McGill brilliantly created Gunn's goal. As he approahed the goalie McGill took the ball wide to pull him away from the goal before slipping the ball to Gunn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And could still be given he was last seen with a moon boot on was he not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have been ineligible but McCabe said in the match preview interview that he was injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was injured but would have been ineligible to play against St Mirren anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before League One Kick Off. It literally says it in the title. Seriously though, would be great to see it today, especially as the team would've been training last night, so here's hoping! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not counting McCabe we only have 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally someone to cover centre back, a left back, a central midfielder to challenge Devenny and Frizzell and a wide player, maybe even two, would be my priorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree, although I wouldn’t mind just one player if he was capable of playing left back and centre back (like a left sided Watson) as that would probably give us enough cover across the back 4. Ideally though both positions need additional cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think bringing in a forward should be our number one priority. None of our strikers have scored in the premier sports cup and we have only conceded one goal which would indicate that we are reasonably tight at the back and missing a bit of composure up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
