the_bully_wee Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Murdoch looks a cut above, even from seeing him in a game which wasn't suited to him whatsoever. Grant was once again excellent alongside him. That's about it for the positives, other than Kinnear and the centre halves standing up well to their end of the aerial bombardment. Hamilton is an awkward solution at right-back and the sooner McCall makes his mind up between the three centre-backs, the better. Allan was worse than useless on the rare occasion he saw the ball, Rennie had a poor game by his standards and Redfern's end product was garbage. I do think we will get there but that's been two listless performances in a row, so hopefully with a pair of relatively favourable home games coming up we can try to play with a bit more swagger and find some rhythm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 My view on central defence is that Lee Hamilton starts as CH every day of the week. Arguably best centre half in the league or even L1, I’d like to see him and McKay together, no harm to Howie who is obviously very decent but I think McKay’s physicality might give him the nod. My main point and repeating myself Hamilton starts at CH, beyond me why McCall is moving him around to RB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I can think is that he’s more of a defender than Houston, and Forfar went with a decent left side of Matty Allan and Ross McLean. Maybe it was to counter that? Disagree with it though, unless Houston was carrying a knock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't at the game but was surprised to see Houston named among the substitutes, would've thought him and Robson would be key to the way we want to play this season giving the width with our wingers being more inverted. Perhaps just managing his game time as had injury issues in the past and like you say possibly carrying a niggle given he wasn't involved at all against Thistle. Disappointing not to get off to a winning start but a point and a clean sheet at a venue we have a poor record at, will take it and move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeClydeFc Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I have being thinking about our team, for this season and I came up with what I personally think our best lineups would be. I understand every game is different although this is just my preferred lineup while we are trying to find out our best XI. Within my lineups 3 players are not included - Ross Lyon, Darren Hynes, Robbie Leitch. If these 3 players can’t get in any of the lineups (as a good backup) then we should try and offload them in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Carrigan Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 19 hours ago, BullyWeeClydeFc said: Honestly, I don't think Dunachie should be ahead of Connell in the striker pecking order. The games against Montrose and Forfar have shown that he still has a lot to work on. My mate called it when he said that for every game like Thistle, there will be four or five where he's basically ineffective and I'd tend to agree. I hope it's not the case as I'd love him to be an absolute revelation. I'm wary of too much pressure on him. Fwiw, I actually think Connell and Allan would be a very good partnership - Connell's delivery is absolutely superb and he does a lot of the donkey work around the box. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfield shed boy Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Dunnachie who is still learning his new position shouldnt be startimg on front of a natural CF v Forfar or anyone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Felt like against Montrose we resorted to long balls because Dunachie was there, he will definitely contribute across the season but he shouldn’t be ahead of Connell or Allan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The info is vague....they could easily have said we have identified a target and we are in negations to purchase the site. Especially to supposed owners...there will be a name change thrown in before anyone cottons on that owners are not even close to being owners. It's blind faith in the Board that got us to within minutes of the Lowland League - keep it up guys and don't question anything the Board do and anything cold happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Carrigan Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 (edited) 2 hours ago, Uncle Albert said: Well first three points of the season, long may that continue!!! Absolutely! Getting through the first two games unbeaten without conceding a goal is great. A couple of really lacklustre first half performances on Saturday there, Jordan Houston being the main culprit. I think he was fortunate to survive the half-time exodus. One bad game for him though, as I think he's been good so far. I don't think Robbie Leitch has what it takes to play in this team - for me he's been very unconvincing. Jordan Allan also wasn't great, but was suffering badly from a lack of service and being isolated. You seen in the second half that playing a more natural forward (Connell) in the 10 automatically drew the 10 closer to the centre forward. I'm not hitting the panic button with Allan yet, but I think if he doesn't score this weekend then it might be time to look for a different solution. With all that in mind I think my team for the coming weekend would be: - Kinnear - - Houston - Hamilton - McKay - Robson - - Murdoch - Grant - - Connelly - Connell - Scullion - - Allan - Edited August 12 by Brian Carrigan Idiocy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Not sure I'd be dropping Scullion. But I do get we will need to squad rotate at points to keep everyone fresh and try new things. Especially with a mid week game this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
