Jaggernaut Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 A few comments based on the 20-min highlights on Jagzone: I kind of feel for the Airdrie keeper; played a blinder, then loses an unlucky og. Cardle is great at getting around and past defenders; he'll be a handful. Bannigan looked the business. Early days yet for Miller, but if that had been Doolan yesterday some people would already be saying he's done, finished... Definitely looked a better team than at just about any point last season.

Good to see with the highlights that they have added a camera behind the goal to give a different angle for goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Gary C was in the JH stand with Gerry B half a hour before the match, so those rumours in P&B about Gerry being part of the clear-out were totally wrong Yes,,wished them both a successful season.

Mr Bunny Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 16 hours ago, Alan Murray said: I thought the 3 at the back did not work. Airdrie played with 3 upfront but two of them were dropping deep into the space between defense and midfield and causing us problems. They shut down Banzo and tried to force us to play from the backline similar to what happened in the last Alloa game at home. Thought we would have gone 4 at the back in the second half but Caldwell choose to bring on Palmer and he steadied the ship. Cammy looked good in the 45 mins he was on the pitch and is technically very good. The question is how he will do in the rough and tumble of the league. Ryan Williamson did okay on his first game. Still to me looks a bit raw and still a work in progress. He really needs to get closer to the touchline where the space is. Overall good to get the win but looked like we don't as of yet have the same quality we had in the second half of the season. Hamilton game will tell us more. I thought McGinty looked particularly vulnerable when isolated against their 9 or 7. They made him look slow and clumsy. I think last season Penrice was under instructions to hang back a little at times and offer extra protection down that wing. Today he was looking to get forward a lot more. Not sure if he'll maybe get better as the season progresses with O'Ware's influence, can only hope as 3 at the back seems the manager's preference.

I think over the last few years under Archie’s and Caldwell’s remit the 3 or 5 at the back hasn’t really worked , IMO you need athletic wing backs to give you width and possibly a ball playing centre back to possibly give you an extra man in midfield at times . Over the last few years , not sure we’ve had the personnel to play that system. The last time I remember that system working well for us was when O’Donnell and ATS were the wing backs.

Must be some ego you have. I'm fairly sure Sandy had said something about going to watch Forres Mechanics rather than a team in our division. Having watched the intensity with which we played the game yesterday I wouldn't criticise, and in fact would sympathise, with anyone who opted to watch their local non league club. I think tho', TL, you're taking the forum far too seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingleo Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Third Lanark has a point. Sandy has an insufferable smugness about him. Sort of opinionated prick who thinks he’s right about everything. Probably the sort of bore who sits in the local golf club ripping some pro on the tele who’s bogeyed two in a row while unable to break 100 himself 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what difference it makes , Caldwell polarises opinion amongst supporters as did Archie in his final days . Same goes with Lennon at Celtic Its all about opinions , there is no right or wrong answer, Gary Caldwell will be judged ultimately on his decisions and results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOD and ATS played like that while we were only playing with two central defenders. It's no wonder we were so entertaining back then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both McGinty and Mansell look as if they're not being played in their best positions. McGinty at the back is error-prone, but he strides purposefully forward through the midfield. Mansell has nifty footwork, is tall and looks strong but doesn't look like scoring very often. Maybe Mansell should be a centre-back and McGinty a striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
