Bauldrick Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I read that Craig is quite happy with his midfield options, I just wish that we had an experienced midfield general, someone a bit crafty and talented who could ping passes about, another Valois would be ideal if such a talent is around, Haring and Clare would flourish with their direct styles complemented by a more thoughtful style of midfielder.

I didn't think Valois was that kind of midfielder really. Stevie Fulton or Iain Jardine maybe the type I think we lack - they are not easy to find though. Cochrane looks to me someone who could develop into that kind of role Edited January 11, 2019 by scott herbertson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. If we go into the rest of the season banking on Peter Haring staying fit I think we're putting all our eggs in one basket and, the way things have gone this season I still think we're short.

Bauldrick Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I thought Valois played a bit deep with us due to his advancing years and loss of pace, he still oozed talent though, he could ping a perfect pass and packed a hell of a shot.

I don’t think he’s freeing up much in the way of wages. Despite 5 months left on his contract he’s gone for free too. If anything I would imagine what we’re saving will go towards either contract extension or pre-contract. Which isn’t a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of hundred thousand for this year's Nicky Clark/Gavin Reilly/Rory McAllister/Stephen Dobbie. No thanks. (Although Stephen Dobbie himself is also this year's Stephen Dobbie).

cosanostra Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 We need another winger to give us another option. Surprised this has not been addressed yet but there's still plenty of time. I guess Vanacek was a replacement for Lafferty and CS is a replacement for Dunne so there should be money available given the fact that Danny has fecked off.

Cruyff Turn Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I’m pretty positive we’ll sign a right winger/wing back as that is the area imo we are weakest. Also looking at the Vaneceks stats, one of his main attributes is getting between defenders and scoring headers, we need quality in the wide positions to feed this guy.

If we’re back to a 3 man defence, we’ve still got Garuccio & Mitchell, Burns, Mulraney and Naisy sort of operates in that left channel. On the right we’ve got 3 young guys and Smith who’s more defensive. We build up a lot down the left but we play quite direct on the right side. We need someone more attacking down the right imo with a better delivery as Vanecek and Naisy both like to move in from that position onto their stronger foot.

At the risk of you still not being quite ready I will suggest that we still need a creative midfielder with a bit of pace (I know they are not easy to acquire) and a wide player who can beat a man on the outside and put in decent crosses so that our big strikers can attack the ball facing the goals rather than the way we normally put crosses in.

Don't differ much on the wish list - I would say of the two you suggest it's the midfielder where we are potentially the worst off as although we have a lot of midfield cover we have few who can put their foot on the ball and dictate play . This really became most apparent when Naismith was out as the ball came back quicker to midfield and we couldn't hold on to it. Morrison and Mulraney may provide the wing play now they have a clear target man and with Uche returning there's another player who knows where the byeline is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
