Diamonds on the Windshield Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Playing to the strengths and weaknesses in the team in the second half of the season: Rae Ballantyne Watson McCabe Fordyce Hancock Telfer Aitken Frizz Gal McGill (McStravick) With Ballantyne and Hancock creating mayhem down the wings bouncing the ball off Telfer and Frizz and Gal tapping them in with McGill in about them is what I would like to see. Also gives cover in behind Hancock when other teams start to target that weakness. That gives us cover on the bench if required with players who can come on and do a job. Todorov, McMaster, GavGal, McStravick and ATS. I'd still play Gal because the ball just sticks to him and I felt Todarov's touch against Partick was pretty poor and he was just getting in the way. The highlights show a couple of good moves breaking down with his lack of control. If we could only find a way for Gal and Todarov to get the best out of each other. Megwa is a loss defensively and maybe he would have slid in and stopped Partick scoring but Watson has scored and provided it on a plate for Todorov's goal in the last two games from fullback. I can't even think of an assist from Megwa (please correct me if I am wrong). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Fernández Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 On 19/12/2023 at 15:06, David Fernández said: If we are going down the 'Consilium Route' of signing players then Chris Donnell would be a shout. He's a 19 year old midfielder and from watching a few videos of him playing for Fulham U21 he looks a lot more physical than a lot of our current midfielders we have. From the highlights video I can see a lot of similarities to Justin Devenny. Downside he is Australian so let's just hope he's no Frankie Lagana or a Big Byrd 2.0. Anyone want tonight's lottery numbers? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Think it was @David Fernández who pulled his name from the Consillium sweepstake previously. Fills a positional gap we needed to fill and if, as McCabe says, he can play in a few positions that could be particularly useful with our run of games coming up. A bit of height won’t go amiss either. Airdrie for All-In 2025 @cb_diamond? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_m Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just now, AJ77 said: Good to get another signing in, you’ll never guess who is agent is tho. We should have new! Anyway, despite that he looks an interesting signing and adds a bit of height as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 It is a loan but a tall attacking player could be a good addition. Looks like the kind of young player Rhys values. Let's wait and see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Sounds like Donnell is a good all-rounder. Has a bit of size, can get around the pitch and his passing and goal stats are decent, with the big caveat that that’s all at youth level. Hopefully he can make a difference in the final third whether from midfield or upfront. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing excellent work if you post here fella! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_m Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Another plus from the match preview is that Cammy Ballantyne is back taking part in training. Next reserve match is 13th February so hopefully he can feature in that and be back in the first team squad for our next League game v Ayr on the 17th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The bench is looking stronger than it has done recently. With Lyall, Gabby and Aiken still to return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
