Mcdaid Hemmings Along the same lines of what I was thinking but id maybe go with Johnson ahead of Kane ad would start Ness alongside either Finn or Byrne .

J_Kitamirike Posted 10 September 2019 Report Share Posted 10 September 2019 If we're playing McDaid and Todd every week then we won't be picking up many points. It's a worry just how poor our midfield is, especially as on paper it looked the strongest position before the season started. Our whole team is a mess at the minute. You know yir f**ked when you worry about playing Alloa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ,like a lot of players, they are confidence players but for me both have a lot of ability and am confident they will come good . I remember thinking Stewart looked very average when he first signed for us as did Nathan Ralph but once they settled they showed how good they were and id be surprised if these two lads don't do the same . Not the start we wanted but its still very early days . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gblue Posted 10 September 2019 Report Share Posted 10 September 2019 Kerr is determined to give the suffering support reasons to stick by the team again when they line up against the Wasps this weekend. FFS here we go again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the start we wanted but its still very early days . They look like bang average championship players in my opinion and have so far shown absolute nothing that suggests they will be any good for us. Stewart was a bit underwhelming in a few friendly appearances but he quickly turned into a quality player once he actually got a chance and started games. Ralph was brutal in the pre season games but turned it around once he was fully fit. McDaid and Todd have already played quite a few games for us and have been very poor apart from Dunfermline second half (for Todd) and then the sheep game. We shall see but so far they have created nothing and struggle to beat their men going forward. Offers no support to our forwards etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattie Rojas Posted 10 September 2019 Author Report Share Posted 10 September 2019 I'm actually expecting a positive reaction vs alloa. The derby result was a total fluke and was never a 6-2 game while I can understand why the players didn't get up for the Elgin match given the competition. We'd probably have been better off playing more youngsters. We'll have Hamilton, Forster, Marshall, Finn, McPake, Johnson back and I'd expect total effort.

thepole Posted 10 September 2019 Report Share Posted 10 September 2019 We need players willing to take on a man and win fouls, corners etc if it doesn't come off. Running at a full back then checking your run is no good unless you have plenty ability and quick feet. For that I'd fit in Mcpake and Nelson in the hope they can take the ball deep and push the whole team forward. If we can't be creative enough to break down teams then the next best thing is to be direct, get the ball forward at every opportunity and play at a high tempo hoping to drag their defence apart and force mistakes. We rarely hit the byline these days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know yir f**ked when you worry about playing Alloa. Have our board made the classic DFC error of putting a much-loved character in charge just because they know they'll get an easy few months before the dust settles and reality kicks in? We did it with Gordon Wallace, Jim Duffy and Neil McCann and others. How about we just disregard sentiment and appoint the best man available. Colvin put Hartley in charge after he won back-to-back promotions with Alloa? Can we bring back Colvin or at least learn from his common sense approach? I'm certainly not giving up on McPake yet but it was a hell of a risky move to make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
