A defender, a striker and a midfielder although with the amount of midfielders/wingers in the squad in this case it might be a 3rd keeper. Link to comment

It's just a bit random we've went heavy on wingers until January. We need to develop Milne AND sign a Right Back (who can play centre back) or a Centre Back (who can play right back). Link to comment

Far from " a journeyman" in my eyes. Journeyman tag has fuck all to do with the divisions they are bouncing between surely it's just club? ??? It seems the definition of "journeyman" that I was using is the American definition..."an athlete who is technically competent but unable to excel" Again, to my mind, Aberdeen are the biggest club that Stewart has and will ever play for. But I can guarantee there will be Wycombe supporters who think that EFL1 is a better standard of football outwith the arse cheeks and that as such, he's taken a downward step. 1 Link to comment

super_al Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Milne is clearly seen as a prospect for the future and by not sending him on loan they see a pathway i.e he is backup when and if required for centre back. As for right back, Jayden is a young player with raw potential and needs games to develop. He is in good physical condition with limited injury history and therefore one would assume will be fit most weeks. Signing another right back that is either second choice (in which case you are getting a worse player or wasting a wage) or to replace Jayden does not make sense if the goal is to develop him. Defence is not as big a concern as the midfield in my opinion. Currently we are getting "bossed" in there unless the opposition goes down to 10 men. 1 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Defence is easily the biggest area for catastrophic shambles with just one injury. That then weakens the midfield a fair bit by McCrorie having to drop back, which in turn weakens the defence even more also. Ample bodies that can be utilised all across the midfield. Next to fk all options at back, especially CH. Link to comment

However the starting defence is ok compared to midfield (missing Barron of course) that is currently getting pushed around against physical sides. 1 Link to comment

I think the defence is equally as bad (if not worse) against any half decent/capable or even full 11 team. Solid/confident defence is the main foundation to build from & allows for slight weaknesses further forward. Arguably Link to comment

Arguably We've not played defensive in any game yet (for some fucking bizarre reason our midfield 5 against celtic included vinnie, hayes, kennedy and polvara) so i'd not be so sure how we'll fare in a game we are up against it Link to comment

His preferred 11 and shape has the back 4 with McCrorie and Ramadani as holding midfielders. So 6 players defensive. That not enough for you? Link to comment

I would probably give you Stewart but my problem with the original poster was the plethora hyperbole To be pedantic surely journeyman by definition would mean a man of many clubs. Hence the usage of the word journey? Link to comment
