Heard we're looking at someone from exactly that place called Andy Zoff A real speed merchant apparently who can play across the front 3

Agree re Donnelly, but I thought Maguire was the only one who managed to get on the ball and play passes. I thought he was very good actually.

Hi everyone hope you are all good. I am currently studying business and I am writing a report on the transition to fan ownership at the club. As part of the report I have to include the opinions of other fans as I am not allowed to use my own opinions. I have made a survey to get responses on the subject and would really appreciate if anyone is able to help me out, the questions will only take a couple of minutes. I will leave the link below and again I really appreciate if anyone has a spare couple of minutes to complete the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/867RBRX Im new to this page as well so apologies if Im not allowed to post this sort of thing here and I will take it down no problem

Well at least you got the 4-3 -3 right. That isn't going to change.

I have Stevie Hammell's top from when he launched it into the crowd when he left for Southend. He's a legend.

Strange how folk view things differently. I thought the main reason Maguire had to check back so often was because several players were not making themselves available for a pass. Woolery and Roberts, for so called wingers, spent most of the match trying unsuccessfully to be centre forwards and Goss and Donnelly were just nowhere to be seen. If it was not for both (much maligned} full backs, Maguire would have had no outlet whatsoever. Maguire was the only midfielder prepared to go looking for the ball. In fact it was a re-run of Dingwall for much of the match. And I don't get the Goss love in either. Sure, he can make a lovely pass from time to time (the touch to Donnelly for the winner) but too often he passes the buck and plays others into trouble. I lost count of the number of times McGinley in particular was sold short and then moaned at for not getting a cross in because he was closed down. I expect more from Goss as he certainly has the ability. Van Veen, Tierney and Slattery had an immediate impact as we all saw. It's amazing what energy, movement and demanding the ball can achieve. Even then Tierney was often ignored as he found space to receive a pass. I hope Alexander finds a way to include all three of those substitutes from the start against Hibs, but I'm not sure where Tierney will fit when Alexander sticks to his usual formation. I think he would be best suited to slotting in behind two strikers, which is the position he excelled in before he joined us.

Kelly Mugabi Ojala Sol Carroll Slattery Maguire Goss Amaluzor KVV Roberts That is what I would go with. Never gonna happen though. Huge game, hope we are up for it.

I don't see Woolery as a first XI starter: Roberts seems much more talented, more nimble and faster and with more of a football brain than the guy who has seemed a nailed-on starter under GA. To me he doesn't know when or where to run, and that's since I saw him in the first game against Hibs. But what do I know? KVV seems not to have totally convinced the manager, or maybe he doubts his attitude. Yet, once he came on yesterday, things started to happen. I still think he could work alongside Shields, with Roberts as a "winger". Watt was great as an out ball: the ball seemed stuck to his laces and he was great at winning "fouls" while emerging as a genuine goalscorer with great awareness. But those days are gone now and in the past they must remain . His comment that he went to DU for footballing reasons and not the money does not convince me at all. False badge-kissers always get on my nazzums. I doubt we'll move for a striker this month so GA will have to be creative and use what he has at the moment.

What a manager says in public and what he thinks or says to the player aren't the same thing. He obviously sees Donnelly as being an important part of the team if he can get him back up to speed, and building his fitness and confidence is all part of that process.

What a croc of shit. Alexander will not go anywhere near that train wreck...we would need to be desperate and in freefall to even think about taking on a massive project that is LG..no one doubts his ability but he self destructs everywhere he goes. Not even remotely similar to the TW scenario and to compare the two is laughable
