On that note, why was DKD not in the squad yesterday? Was he injured/suspended? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggie_93 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Really don’t know what to make of it. What formation we going? 2-3-5? I would’ve hoped for a centre back and left back by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkboy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Please sign a defender Uncle Roy. Even if we get relegated we'll still need a bloody centre back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I think Routis is proving himself to be a useful centre-back, so I guess that position is probably sorted in OC's eyes. (It's funny that McIntyre saw Routis as a box-to-box, attack-minded midfielder, now Routis is back to being half-way between centre-back and holding midfielder.) We could do with a quality left-back, but there's not been a hint yet that we will see that. We need speed on the wing, but we got Eagles and out-of-position strikers. If OC can convince Schalk to put his all into playing wide in the 4-3-3 - something that Schalk moved to Scotland to get away from - then we might be on to something, but that's unlikely. We only play one striker, so why do we have five of them now? (Six including Morrison who is back from Dumbarton). OC has eight days to get the transfer strategy right, but it seems pretty skewed at the moment.

yoda Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 A left-back + a winger and the squad looks good. A small spring clean is also needed: Kelly, McKay (or Schalk), and Lindsay can all exit stage right. Coyle just needs to work out the right formation. I’d have Eagles as a #10, with Draper and O’Brien behind him. Of course, Tansey’ loan deal might make that unworkable. N’Gog as a starter in the long-run presumably, with Effiong being a useful option from the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Not a great picture, but here's a photo from training. Is Billy Mckay that muscular, or is that another new face nearest the camera behind N'Gog on the half way line? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Billy Mckay (dark tracksuit, orange boots, hands in pockets) is standing 11 o'clock from our point of view to Ngog, so that's someone else.

Either way I don't know what to make of this signing for Ross County. N'Gog has never really had much of a scoring record but he was also playing at higher levels for most of his career.

Matty-RCFC Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Harry Souttar Young Stoke Centre Back. Only ever made 2 appearances for Dundee United before signing for Stoke (make of that what you will). Just a rumour I saw from a Stoke fan page on twitter. Don’t have a clue if there’s any truth in it or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
