JeanieD Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Did it get a nick of a defender? Trajectory looked a bit contrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Not entirely sure how Lawless gets an assist for that. he didn't know much about it when the ball hit him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I thought Alston had a pretty solid game on Saturday, and he looked like he could get even better. And Stanway was very good; his best game yet, based on my live stream viewing, which is mostly restricted to matches at Firhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Stanway has been generally good both home and away, and I remember him being particularly excellent in the away win at Morton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go along with that. I thought his game on Saturday was more typical of his performances than his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only poor game he has had was Arbroath at Firhill and Doolan took him out for a few games. On Saturday the game passed him by for the 1st 20 minutes or so, but he got better as the game went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough about the Arbroath game, though of course the more experienced players were hardly helping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with the Arbroath game for me was that Stanway wasn’t at it from the start and McKenzie lost it after his part in the 1st goal. After that, it was like playing with 9 men. Don’t get me wrong, you expect young players to have off days. Stanway has come back in and done well, so has McKenzie in his brief sub appearances.

I'm sure you're not saying Stanway was the reason we lost heavily at home that day. Part responsible, undoubtedly, but along with a host of others. Our main failing this season has been our lack of defensive dig in midfield. A problem the manager has accepted and was well aware existed. Sticking a central defender in centre midfield would only have created a problem further back. So the problem was there with or without Ben Stanway. If you recall for the next game Doolan dropped Ben, moved McInroy further back, replacing the latter in attacking midfield with Robinson. McInroy is certainly no Abdul Osman but probably the best equipped at breaking up play in midfield. Think the point I'm trying to make is that without that anchor in midfield individual midfielders (and defenders) are far more exposed. Having a poor game in midfield, as Stanway had, all the more punishing. Hopefully we'll get this sorted in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really saying that with 2 players not contributing it meant the others were having to try and do extra and it didn’t work. If we manage to get the elusive defensive mid, who do you think will drop out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we assume this defensive mid is right sided, I suppose Stanway will find it harder to get a start. Unless we've something permanent in store for him, Williamson is due to return to Rangers in January. And I wouldn't be surprised to see James Lyon go back out on loan. So competition for midfield places will possibly be no more competitive than just now. Btw I've feeling if we can't bring in a suitable defensive mid we'd sign a left sided centreback if available. In turn Neilson would play in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Once Milne is fit and Williams continues to show he can do a job at right back then I would be tempted to try McMillan at CDM if we don't sign anyone in January. There was a rumour on P&B that Williamson had agreed a PCA with us but I find that hard to believe given how little game time Doolan has given him so far. I still think Williamson could be a very good CDM but for whatever reason we don't want to play him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 No thanks, McMillan is too much of an asset as RB/Rwb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
