Macski Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Have a feeling this lad is going to be a very good acquisition for us. Welcome to the club loon. 1 Link to comment

The midfield cut through our midfield like they’re not there half the time. Not sure about Bates, but I’d play him next game, no question. Link to comment

I would have liked to see Glass try Campbell at left sided CH after seeing how well he did at left back. He's left footed, tall enough for a CH, good in the air, and a ball winner. He won't get much pitch time covering for midfield so I'd like to see him considered for defence cover as well. You really think it makes that much of a difference? 1 Link to comment

You would think that with us having (what?) half a dozen? Central midfielders on the pitch, that maybe one or two could communicate with the central defence. Problem for me is that nobody wants to take control & it should be a CH doing so. Are they scared to speak up because Brown is there? Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Looked fine today. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Probably our m.o.m. by default today. Looked comfortable enough. Will learn more about how good he actually is in October. Who partners him is a serious worry though. McCrorie is a bombscare at CH but right now Gallagher is bang out of form. McCrorie probably edges it at the minute purely because he was ok today and bears no responsibility for the saints goal Link to comment
beef_sister Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Why did he go off? Never seen the game thank fuck Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Tried to move the ball a bit quicker. Also played some passes forward into midfield rather than horizontally. Looks like a defender who is happy to defend. A fairly good debut all in all. Link to comment
Crashnyploshnit Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Bates was solid today. He’s certainly more comfortable looking that Gallagher who seems a bombscare at present. Link to comment
WesthillWanderersFC Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Thought he was solid & did all you’d ask. To be fair he had fuck all to do really as St Johnstone were just as shite as we were I thought. I’d probably play 3 central defenders to see if it stops us conceding so many. Change to a 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1 maybe & see if that makes us more dangerous up front too. Can’t be worse than what we’re seeing just now. Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Looked ok today. Though didn’t have much really to deal with. Credit to him though, for an emergency signing cover for Considine I think we’ve gotten lucky (on early untested impression at least) but Gallagher is fkn atrocious. Fkn international my hairy arse. Boy is fkn shite. Diamond levels of shite. Yet some were content with him as well. Link to comment
RUL Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Bates looked very good. Hope he's not injured. Link to comment

Tzvetanovs hair Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Played well today and more composed than others on the pitch. Has Gallagher been found out? Seemed to be a bit of a nut in years past but doesnt seem to be upto much and looks pretty poor at times. Link to comment

Don_Corleone Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Bates looked good... but injured already. Typical. I would probably go for 3 at the back as we're a total shambles at the moment. That would also allow the full backs to operate a bit further forward. Link to comment

Which would be fine but MacKenzie gets a nosebleed when he gets anywhere near the opposition box. He's just not good enough to play as a midfielder. And Hayes I'm afraid just looks like he's finished. Then, as you say....Bates got injured. Hopefully just a minor knock and taken off as a precaution but if it's something that's going to keep him out next week then we are down to 2 fit centre halves, one of whom isn't a centre half (or certainly wasn't signed to be one anyway) Link to comment
