topcat Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Archie found a bit extra from Elliot in playing him in different positions. That was the first time I have saw Dumbuya on Saturday and I thought with his pace and the way he went forward from defence actually passing opposition players that might like to see what he could do if pushed up front occassionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our thoughts were more to the effect of putting him in midfield and playing Doolan in behind Pogba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 So, we get a right back who is putting in man of the match performances and the great idea is .... lets not play him at right back ! Nope .... I'm not getting it 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Is maybe put him to Amoo's position and drop millar in behind, but as the previous poster stated he's playing a blinder just now so should we change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydebankJag Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Coming from deep, charging forward with pace, seeing opportunities in front of him and exploiting that to create openings for others....let's play him with his back to goal in a lone striker role....Hmmmm let's not.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtastic Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Personally I think it's worth a go playing him in midfield as it's fairly obvious his MOM performances haven't been awarded for his defensive attributes and Miller is an adequate cover for that side of things. The problem for me isn't that Dumbaya is doing anything wrong in his position, it's that Amoo has been poor in his and without a straight like for like swap I'd like us to look at other options. If it's clearly not working, change it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand2 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Maybe we should also play Cerny on the left-wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 He's injured, mate. Aye but that's where injured goalies played before all this nancy boy substitution malarky. Cerny on the wing, I say, toughen him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Aye but that's where injured goalies played before all this nancy boy substitution malarky. Cerny on the wing, I say, toughen him up. Who was the goalie who famously broke his collar bone (or shoulder) and played out the rest of the match as an outfield player?

jaggy Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Who was the goalie who famously broke his collar bone (or shoulder) and played out the rest of the match as an outfield player? Was it Freebairn? I think he scored and we beat Hearts something like 5-4 at Tynecastle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter of '63 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Who was the goalie who famously broke his collar bone (or shoulder) and played out the rest of the match as an outfield player? Are you thinking of Bert Trautmann the Manchester City Goalkeeper who broke his neck in the FA Cup Final but played on in goals and collected his Winners' Medal? ETA I'm sure that Freebairn was our keeper who played outfield after breaking a collar-bone - I think Jukebox Rebel did a feature on the game.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Ledgerwood was the Jags keeper that scored in the 5-4 game. There was I think a goalie (perhaps Man Utd) who got injured, went to casualty then returned to the field. But as Winter mentions Trautmann broke his neck but continued to play on in goal. Makes the others, who just went on the wing with broken arms etc, appear to be big sissys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 So after seeing him play once topcat has decided that his best position is up front. Staggering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottymagoo Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I used to always put Roberto Carlos up front in ISS on the playstation. This will definitely work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustic Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 We had a think about this at the game too. Our thoughts were more to the effect of putting him in midfield and playing Doolan in behind Pogba. Need to get him to shoot when the chance arises as it did a couple of times on Saturday. Don't know if that's a strongpoint for him or not - come on, Mustapha, show us you can against Killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 So after seeing him play once topcat has decided that his best position is up front. Staggering. You never read my post very well. I was trying to suggest he might have utility qualities as well and occasionally have a forward role if really reqd.

douglas clark Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I think that on the grounds of his incredible pace over short distances, that the man could play almost anywhere. We are lucky to have him. BTW he outjumped a pretty tall Kilmarnock attacker on a few occasions on Saturday. See this jumping off the ground malarky? If Pogba took lessons from Dumbuya...... The man is a class act. I am absolutely astonished that he has spent most of his career at a low level. I hope we can retain his services in January, because he is a stand out player for us.
