lorenzo71 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I take it Elgin have the wind advantage in this game or are we rank and unable to create anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I don't particularly rate Malcolm and I think Div Wilson blows hot and cold but RB just doesn't offer enough and is consistently poor (albeit he didn't have a terrible game vs The Rangers last week at LB). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Are we leading as much against the run of play as Twitter is suggesting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay hasn't made a save, but Elgin have had a swirling corner cleared off the line. And a few times they've blasted off target when they should've done a wee bit better. For us Mikey Ruth missed a one-on-one and Tony an early header from about five yards at the far post. But it's not exactly been a classic, not helped by a swirling wind. I think if we take a bit more care in the final third there are more goals in this. But Elgin, and Mark Gallagher in particular, looked really dynamic going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Elgin will have the wind in their favour in the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm has mobility to get about the pitch, Blair hasn't. Malcolm has the physical presence to win tackles, Div Wilson hasn't. Blair and Wilson have had a season and a half to convince, and haven't, whilst Malcolm has had half a season. Or am I missing something here ? And why isn't Luca Vata being considered ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Div showed last season that he can be handy in our team, but hasn't shown it much this season. Malcolm hasn't had as much time, as you say, so maybe should get more of a chance. I haven't seen much of Luca. Nobody has. You have to assume that the manager doesn't think he is quite there yet. That does, however, beg the question of why we haven't looked to get him out on loan for some game time. If he isn't going to be considered then we may as well plan ahead and get him some minutes elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I’m sure Jan said Luca Vata has bulked up considerably. Be nice to see him get a chance, but Faz doesn’t seem to fancy him. Thought he’d be one for loaning out. Can’t imagine sitting on our bench is doing his development much good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Vata isn't a defensive midfielder. I find the calls for him to play similar to the shouts for Harry Broun to start tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the new bulked up Vata is more of a physical presence… Ryan Blair isn’t a DM either tbf and he’s getting a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Wilson will start a game before Vata does. Blairs effectiveness may not be optimal but he is a defensive midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 If you can still muster any excitement for the rest of the reason, that’s a big win away to a side with a good home record. Puts an end to the winless run and solidifies the play off place. Now we can relax and hope for a bonus in other results going our way this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
