Chicob Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Great signing. All we need is a solid centre back and get erskine back on loan then we can all start smiling again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thistledave78 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Good signing. Remember his banging them in at Falkirk - anyone know how many he scored for them? What the thoughts of him playing upfront himself or alongside dools and dropping a midfielder from the normal starting formation?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambies Lost Doo Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 There is no way Doolan should be dropped. He has scored plenty of goals and is peforming well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including a long range strike against Fox in the opening game of last season. Drop Higginbotham, move Lawless over to the left and have Doolan supporting Taylor.

cjptfc Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) I'd say Doolan will play and Taylor also. Doolan is clever enough to exploit spaces created by having someone else in the box. Taylor is a goalscorer and a good centre forward, but Doolan is different. He doesn't get enough credit for his reading of the game and quickness of thought. Some of his goals this season have been brilliant and normally down to his movement, quick thinking and touch. I'm optimistic. I'd settle for a 2 or 3 goal victory at Parkhead now. Edited December 30, 2013 by cjptfc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 There is no way Doolan should be dropped. He has scored plenty of goals and is peforming well. I'd perhaps look at playing them both in a 4-4-2 or a 3-5-2. It is clear that our current formation isn't working (we're still missing Erskine who was a lot more direct than Higginbotham), it worked last season as we could attack through the middle much better using a combination of Erskine, Forbes and Lawless. Now we're up against bigger boys who don't let us attack the middle and give us plenty of space out wide, where do do have strength in beating men but we can't cross the ball for toffee. I like the idea of moving to 4-4-2 as it means our width comes from midfield instead of defense, however I don't think it addresses the defensive issues completely. One of my mates was making a good case for a 3-5-2 last night, and I think the man to sort our problems would have been Shaggy in the centre of that three.

Drop Higginbotham, move Lawless over to the left and have Doolan supporting Taylor. Drop Higginbotham?! you are delusional! He has been consistently the best attacking player on the park for the past few games, creating options all over the park and has a great first touch and vision. You would have to be a total muppet to drop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 John Lambie Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Should be a good signing. Taylor up front, Doolan behind, Lawless right, Higginbotham left. Or 4-4-2 could work with Doolan & Taylor up front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to be a total muppet to drop him. I thought he was mince against ICT. He gave the ball away on several occasions in good positions and missed a complete sitter. It's either him, Lawless or Elliott. Lawless has been playing well and Elliott has done nothing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the creator of almost all the chances in the ICT game all Doolan and Lawless had to do was put away the chances he created, it seems he is now expected to do everything since the chances he creates the other forwards cannot take advantage of. I like Lawless but apart from small spells where he has a burst of energy its not been happening for the wee man, the touch isn't there a lot of the time.

stillresigned Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hopefully Taylor will be a useful addition to the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow & Redneck Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Have complete faith that Taylor will be a great addition. Fair play to Archie in bringing in a player with experience in the Scottish game, as opposed to anyone else from down South. Ok, now lets tighten up that defence.

jagfox Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 As well as scoring goals in his own right he will allow Archie to give Doolan a rest. We seem to forget that Kris and Stevie Craig alternated starting duties and bith still finished with healthy goal tallies. I feel they can work together with Lyle holding the line and Dools playing off his shoulder. Adds a bit of physicality and height to the squad too, no bad thing as it was men against boys yesterday, at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
