mfc 237 Report post Posted January 6 Decent signing,other than carson he's far better than anything else we've had in goals this season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaka 518 Report post Posted January 6 Kelly is a good signing. Now bring in Cedric Kipre, Kevin McDonald & Jason Cummings on loan along with the new Manager and that will tide us over to the summer where we can rebuild Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd also add an attacking midfielder/playmaker to that list as we desperately need someone to create chances. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the new manager or a new formation will help him. He’s played some good games and has the skill but has been crap this season. Just doesn’t look interested. Players go through bad spells but you can at least see them trying to work their way out of it. He seems to have just decided to hide but if the ball does come his way then he just strolls around till dispossessed or hits a wayward pass. He needs to step up the effort and demand and show for the ball more often start imposing himself on games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stu92 111 Report post Posted January 6 I find the Polworth criticism unjustified a lot of the time. Yes he can be wasteful, but at our level who isn't? I personally just think he's suffering from playing in a team bereft of confidence and conviction, I wouldn't be putting a creative number 10 type high on the transfer priorities list.

I think he’d be an improvement on some of our midfielders and might be a replacement for Turnbull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texanwellfan 430 Report post Posted January 6 Definitely a good player to have on the team and I hope we keep him which is why I expect a lot more from him than what he is currently contributing. (Polworth) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MelvinBragg 901 Report post Posted January 6 Bare minimum after signing a goalkeeper we need a centre back (probably two), two wingers and two strikers. Young kids on loan won't do. We need a talker in the defence and someone with some track record of scoring goals, no matter the level... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Polworth) To be fair though he may be scunnered with the long hoof ball we have been playing where we have not even been trying to play through the midfield. Maybe the new gaffer will change tactics a bit and force him to be involved in the games by actually encouraging the team to play some passing football. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfc 237 Report post Posted January 6 Polworth isn't a bad player if we can get him into the right areas like last season,if we don't it's like playing with a man down,he hasn't looked interested all season,granted we haven't been playing football that's even remotely decent but at the same time there's still nothing stopping him going looking for the ball and trying to influence games but like most of his team mates it's as if there just passing the buck and hoping somebody else takes charge.

Chicken and egg situation. Maybe we resort to hoofball because he's not doing it on the deck - thats my take on it? Although talented, he's not as physical as Turnbull and is a bit lightweight. He needs hard working physical players around him to let him play. Maybe about the midfield mix? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely looking at one player in isolation is an over simplification. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes agree about Polworth and the criticism of White when the lad has only had 3 starts this season. Polworth and White played together at Inverness so surely its worth trying them both in same team.

CoF 655 Report post Posted January 6 Interesting that we've eaten up a bit of the budget the day before the new manager comes in. Might mean we're either paying next to nothing for him, or the new manager is already at the club..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would suggest the Reserves? Seriously, I do think we are, at least partially, victims of the unique Covid situation in that the lack of reserve team and under 20s action will have been a major hindrance. We are currently trying to rebuild the first team and have no fixtures to experiment in, plus we are a club who look to give youth players a pathway and that is blocked off for now. Okay, other sides are in the same boat, but it seems to be a major factor to a club like ours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
