Surely you can find a couple of bog standard league one full backs on our budget. If not getting rid of the 3 or 4 shite ones would free up some cash.

Clyde01 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Where are they nowThat’s got nothing to do with your point on budgets though does it? Clearly our lowly budget is not being best utilised is the point.For example we have 4 experienced cbs when 2 would do plus a couple of younger lads/cheaper options. We have no full backs worth the name. We have very limited options in wide areas of midfield.What summer signings have actually been a success?Ray Grant for sure, jordan Allan probably, duthie looked good before we lost him. McLean is steady enough. It’s not exactly been a resounding success though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes all good points although DL was forced into signing extra centre backs as sula and thicot couldn’t get work permits.I do think this squad will start to pick up points starting from Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to disagree here, personally think Mclean has been one of the worst signings that’s gone under the radar. He loses every header, gets beat to every tackle, loses every 50/50, doesn’t even try to find a pass just hoofs it up the park and 90% of the time goes out or goes to the opposition, as soon as we concede he looks deflated and like he doesn’t want to be there (i understand him) but he’s the captain of the team. Imo he should be nowhere near the team. Sula and Grant should be our pairing at the back imo, Thicot and McLean are just gna lose us games week after week. Will be happy to be proven wrong but highly doubt that. Also highly doubt McLean will be dropped since he’s the captain and everytime he’s been dropped at a club he’s had a hissy fit and Lennon doesn’t have the balls to drop him even though he’s been the cause of a lot of goals already this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't disagree with you more with a couple of points there. Of the four or five games I've been to McLean is one of the few who wins the vast majority of his aerial duels and has a footballing brain on him and tries to play it out from the back. He resorts to hoofing it when the full backs or centre mids dont show for the ball because he has no other option. He's not got the pace to take the ball past a striker 5-10 years younger than him so his options are limited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we've played a back four he has generally played well and is a million times better than any of the dunces we had playing there last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeFCTheBullyWee Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Really have to disagree. I think he’s a major part in our recent poor form. He’s just so lackadaisical in everything he does. He might win a couple of headers but his decision making is awful, yes ok his teammates aren’t exactly helping him but he doesn’t need to waste every possession like he does. He gets beat on every 1vs1, his legs are gone we know that but he should have the brain and knowledge to defend which he rarely has done. If he comes good I’ll be the first to put my hands up and admit it but until then I’d like to see him on the bench for the foreseeable and give Sula a run out, can’t be any worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes would agree with this The games I have seen I would say McLean has been pretty solid and used the ball well when has the option for a pass His one big downfall is his pace or more a case of lack of pace Over a 20 yard foot race he always looks like he is running through treacle. However he is 37? So not expected he will have the pace of someone in their 20s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Carrigan Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 From what we've seen so far this season, it's fairly obvious that a back four with McLean and Sula at centre half is our best option of a fairly bad bunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and disagree with this. The 2 goals we lost v top of the league Dunfermline this week, were not caused by McLean or P Grant. but by 2 individual basic errors from experienced players. If anyone has played football to any decent level they'll tell you the understanding between players, particularly defenders, is huge. Because DL can't decide on his 'best' selection nor formation, no understanding is built. Maybe that's where the problem is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
