central staggie Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 It also probably doesn't help Jay that we've ordinarily went with wing backs rather than wingers so far this year. Think we'll see him off the bench a bit if things are going to shit and we change system. From the little I've seen of him this season, he looks pretty decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete the Jakey Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Our away fixture against Hibernian, originally scheduled for Wednesday 1st November, has been brought forward to Tuesday 31st October at the request of both clubs. Can someone more erudite than me explain why both clubs would request this change? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneThrowAway Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Time for Baldwin to be dropped. Cost us far too many games/points in the past 12 months. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcfc fan Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Hope josh sims is ok it looked a nasty one and by all accounts he was having a decent match. kind of agree about Baldwin above, why though with 3 centre halfs are we left so badly exposed like that Baldwin had to foul there or the chances are aberdeen go 2-0 up, Pity as thought we started the game well enough, pains me to say it but a cracker from shinnie last 20 mins really encouraging and on the whole did well with 10 men, Samuel an absolute breath of fresh air and did fantastic to win the spot kick which turner dispatched superbly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackays first season we played 4 at the back and wingers, it was some of the best football I’ve seen us play. Since we’ve changed to a back 5 it’s been shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his defence the three at the back wasn’t working, with the wing backs going forward Aberdeen were carving us open. When we went to a back four after the sending off the defence was more solid. My problem with Baldwin, apart from his obvious mistakes, is that he disrupts the back three. His obsession with taking throw ins leaves him out of position and forces the other two to cover for him. He’s frequently caught running back from a wide position with his back to the game where you would expect a competent central defender to be facing the ball, reading the game and organising the defence. I thought Nightingale organised the back four well, and again another reason why we coped better than we did on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBs contact on Duk was minimal but enough to make the red justified, Laidlaw should have just cleared it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same thing re Laidlaw at the time last night, but it still doesn't change the fact Baldwin is an absolute bombscare... around 3 or 4 red cards since December also... We looked solid when we had a back 4 of Brown - Nightingale - Leak - Harmon last night...

Yip 100% Laidlaw to blame, he stitched Baldwin up badly by not coming off his line (excuse the phrase Josh). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brophy should be given game time, unless still sluggish from injury? Don't get whats going on there. Samuel as well needs a start, totally deserves it. Malky needs to give others more an opportunity otherwise they will leave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree regarding Samuel he adds something very different , Brophy we obviously need to be careful with further regarding Baldwin I think he’s actually out 3rd choice centre half now if we revert to a back 4 I’d rather have nightingale and Leak than baldwin, really hoping we can keep nightingale he’s class 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonam Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 It's so disappointing past 2 matches, Aberdeen ain't that good and if they turned up last night a semi-final against Hibs was winable. Oh well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brophy clearly isn't fit, I'm not sure but I'd guess that his recovery from injury meant that he didn't do a full preseason, like the rest of the squad. The couple of sub appearances he's had, he's looked WAY off the pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
