Looked a top striker with Airdrie though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we lost out on 5k back in the day. We never ever spent serious cash. The ones that did in our size tho all went bankrupt but not for years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye,McDonald was a good striker for Airdrie scored a good few goals, trying to remember the striker that was favoured by manager at that time, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrbairn Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I would not even dare to guess our line up. Keana a must but what about Krasniqi? Has he earned a place. Lemon or Hall? Will Millar play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krasniqi on the bench instead of Dowds likely to be the only change to the bench. The only outfield player from midweek that you could make a real strong case to start would be Seb Ross but you can’t drop any of the midfield 3.

Yes, I think it still does stand for “yer main man up front”…..don’t think that has ever diminished. The only number that has become “a thing” in the last couple of decades is the number 10. Always used to be a left footed attacker, but now, it is used to describe the guy who pulls most of the attacking strings. I suppose it was Pele who invented the modern concept of the 10, but it was really in only 20 years or so that it has been embraced in the U.K. I guess 1, 9, and 10 are about the only numbers that mean a very specific role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 3 decades. Think Maradona as the definition of "a 10" and he flourished through the 80's. I accept it's only in recent years we've had the 4-4-1-1 and so on that it's been more regularly visible. Also I'd say 2 and 3 are still definitely your fullbacks, and 5 is generally your centre half, so those are still pretty fixed too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerthewitness Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Watching Sheerin's Falkirk for the first time and struggling to see a huge improvement from last season. More organised, undoubtedly, but not noticeably more effective. Early days but Airdrie have the midfield & we're struggling to break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
