Only one David Marsh Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Sao Paulo said: Losing Lang and McStay makes putting a good team out very difficult. We'd still probably be strongest in a 4-5-1/4-3-3. The new backline being: Wallace, McNiff, Rumsby and Duffie/Cuddihy. The five across being some mixture of Johnston, Lamont, Rankin, Grant, Cuddihy, Love or Syvertsen. I suppose Smith could play in midfield too, behind or in place of Goodie up front. I don't like the look of that though. Not at all. We'd be a toaty wee team beyond the midfield. And we'd be a lot less dynamic minus McStay. I reckon a left back, a centre back, a centre mid and a centre forward would complete us, but that's quite a shopping list. And it'd still be a headache, though probably a good one to have, to find the best XI and shape. I'd imagine you'd want a backup goalie too Edited June 27, 2019 by Only one David Marsh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Wallace is a midfielder so don’t see him being put in defence. Doubt we’ll change much from last years style of play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played all over the shop, including at the back. As things are, I'd rather him than McNiff there. But again ideally, we'd have a proper left-back and move Wallace up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcuk Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 A big part of the reason we were promoted was having a decent defence for the first time in many years. We'll need at least as good next season, so for me that's the priority in terms of replacing Lang We're already stronger with striking options and we've good midfielders. We probably only need one McStay type player there, whether himself or someone else, and it's complete , and in fact would again be stronger than last year given who he's brought in already. But let's not go back to having to score 3 just to get a point, get the defence tight and that alone will see us OKspot on and no more demonstrated in the play off 1 goal conceeded in 4 games Lennon did say particularly start of last season We need to learn to win 1 0 priority for me a good centre back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Popped along again tonight, seen a young lad training with the goalkeepers called Jamie Porritt. No idea where he's came from but he's on trial hoping for a deal with the bulky wee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
