Mad Dog

Spittal - pressing, tackling, passing, looked full of energy tonight.

Max had a great game, just the right reaction to being harshly dropped.

MFC TV.

St. Mirren won't be expecting that ....

Butcher as a holding midfielder and Cornelius working with him with his energy is a step in the right direction. If Goss is playing wide left then I would have preferred to see McKinstry or Crankshaw out there instead.

You can copy and paste this onto the Alan Burrows thread too: identical scenario.

Disappointing, scratching my head already.

I think that saying he's been dreadful is overstating it a wee bit. He's been left completely exposed by a poor defence way more than he was last season. His distribution has deteriorated markedly though, his pinpoint passing was a real feature when he arrived on loan.

I'd pencil in Oxborough for league cup games next season to give him first team experience. This season the only change that I'd make in goal is giving the armband to an outfielder and let Kelly focus on his own performances.

You think he's hot? Not sure that needs to be part of the recruitment process.

PJ Morrison has apparently made a massive blunder in scoring an own goal and giving Darvel hope of getting back in the game. 2-1 Falkirk at the mo'.

Yeah, I'd understand if Johnston had gone off too but he was fine.

That's us defaulted the game then surely?

This is the kind of signing to get excited about!

I was thinking 4-4-2 as well but with Danzaki instead of Spittal as he's much more mobile and possibly Obika instead of KvV. The old school little and large pairing upfront is something that is worth a try.

Looking at the other games this weekend there is a chance that our relegation rivals will all drop points. We need to hope that our marginally better away form gives us a chance tomorrow.

Does he also need international clearance as he's transferring in from America?

Aberdeen desperately need a win. Perhaps our surrender monkeys can assist them.

Do we know for sure if Danzaki has international clearance yet?

I was thinking that it looks like three at the back with what we have available.

Hard to forget him: scored Celtic's last goal in their 7-0 win against us.

And this is why our kids should always stay on and play a couple of years in the first team before moving on.

So you're suggesting that Tony Watt will lead all of our players out of the club? As bizarre as your example seems, that only reinforces my point that he has leadership skills. Or is it that he's a rat? But then who led him to Dundee United? He went on his own.

What a peculiar comparison to make.

That's my preferred shape too as O'Donnell has always been better attacking than defending, would suit Max as well. Would cut down the need for Kelly to punt it aimlessly as we could build from the back instead. The main concern is that central midfield still looks weak as Goss can't tackle.
