  1. I know what you mean, but in 4-5-1 the striker shouldn't really be having to track back. What's the point of overloading the midfield if you still need your only outlet up front to keep coming back to help? Five men (plus support from the full backs) should be more than plenty to get the ball moving from midfield.
  2. I see that as the opposite problem i.e the midfield support is too far away from him. I agree we should keep playing him though. It seems like he is still improving. Unfortunately, with the injury situation at Everton, I think he might improve just enough to get recalled at the end of his loan deal.
  3. I think that's the key. Playing 4-5-1 successfully (or whatever variant you choose) is heavily dependent on the midfield being in close support when we attack. A lone striker can only hold the ball for so long before he needs to pass.
  4. Nah, people just remember the duff performances more. We have had plenty of good wins in the cups too.
  5. The Cowdenbeath game was 1976. For some reason we took the whole town over and ran out 2 - 0 winners. I remember Marinello having a stormer that day.
  6. If I had known the options were really 1 point or getting papped oot the cup, I wouldn't have voted
  7. It's a genuine indicator of what we said at the start of the season. When you have a team full of youngsters you are going to get some performances that are excellent and some that are poor. What you won't get is as much consistency as you might like.
  8. Well away and post aw yir wee smileys on Ferguslie Corner, because yir patter is honking. I can see why they keep ye Faraway.
  9. I'm guessing the St, Midden boards already banned him for being too annoying.
  10. Who cares if it gets us into Europe? Europe should be for consistent league performances anyway. The League Cup is one of 2 pieces of silverware we have a chance of winning. If it was that diddy, we'd be winning it more often.

    We don't have a big enough squad yet to be punting guys with first team experience.
  12. My old mind is playing tricks. I know my first game was in March 1970 (on my 5th birthday). I thought it was Dundee Utd we played, but looking at the fixture list it was Partick Thistle we beat (3 - 1). As much as I enjoyed being at the game, I was equally interested in the Kia-Ora and the Chipmunk Crisps.
  13. Beeb EDIT: Haggis beat me too it. The ex-pats always have the links to hand.
  14. It feels like good sex...... never mind, you won't have any idea about that either.
  15. It better be, or we'll be going home with nothing.

    I was thinking that myself. Based on our recent performances against St. Mirren, a 1 - 0 home win isn't exactly an outrage. I'm hoping we can find our goal scoring boots, but 1 - 0 for either team feels more likely.
  17. I'm Hamburg. And so's my wife.
  18. Considering that article is nearly 3 weeks old and there has be no mention of it anywhere outside of that fan site, I doubt there is much truth to it.
  19. I think this might be the key. Somebody sees JG at a Crewe game and assumes he is in line for the job.
  20. Cup win for me. I'd rather win a Cup and finish 6th, than finish 5th with no silverware.
  21. Ally Mauchlen, Shuggie Sproat (especially when he was out at the half-way line ), Wille McVie. And of course as a manager, Ally MacLeod was roundly jeered.
  22. A former 'Well player told me that McDicken was the only opponent he ever played against who would purposefully try to break you your leg.
