Much as a lot of our play was good last week we lacked a cutting edge. Orsi's return is welcome though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hopefully Pignatiello is able to start as well. He'll be one of the best players in this league so having him more involved than coming on for injury time will help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughed out loud at that. A weird moment for everyone concerned whilst on public transport. Anyway looking forward to this and the return of league action to the rock. Last weekends draw whilst disappointing wasn’t the worst of starts but needs followed up with a win tomorrow. Hoping to see Hilton start and us go with two up top and see if we can edge that 0.8 goal target to a 1.0 and keep a clean sheet at the other end. That’ll do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see the starting eleven - I was impressed with the pace Shiels gave us on the left when he came on last week. Orsi and Malcolm are now available and Carlo has had another week to get to full fitness so we have a number of options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not we have them all available during the season is another matter, but I think that our midfield has a few options. Clearly the back 4 will pretty much be settled as Carlo, Crighton, Durnan and Young. And I'd expect the front 3 to be Orsi, Ruth and McLean, if thats how we set up this year. But in the middle of the park we have options that give us a bit more solidity (Blair, Malcolm), a decent box to box work rate (Wallace, Wilson, Gray) and Hilton gives us an attacking option to play off the front man. I think we've got a bit of variety in the squad and thats something we havent had for a while. Hopefully Farrell resists the temptation to revert to type and play negatively because on paper we have quite a positive squad that looks capable of playing attacking football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be starting Shiels over MacLean personally, to at least see what he can offer us. I just don’t think Ross MacLean is consistently good enough, and it feels like we’ve been waiting for years now for him to go on a proper run of form. His goals and assists return was poor last year IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 This has been one of the most tedious halves of football I've ever seen. Game is being played like a pre-season friendly in 40° heat. Everything is so slow and laboured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 We've been absolutely terrible with the ball. All energy and pressing is gone and we're just passing it between our centre halves before launching it. I'm sure there's a plan as Farrell is tearing his hair out over there but it's clear the players don't know what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
