Mr Elwood P Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 1 minute ago, Barack said: Halkett will be playing in there. It's just a no-brainer for now. Suppose if you're going to replace a centre back who plays in midfield, another centre back is one place to look. Maybe more likely to be Edwards and Bozanic, especially if we play a 3-5-2.

CloustonHMFC Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Souttar or Halkett could cover there on Friday but someone else will come in, maybe even two if Lee is away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboCampbell Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Our midfield as it stands is tragic, real worry! Lets be honest we need two in the door and one of real quality. They need a big signing to galvanise things. I trust them to know this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Kintner Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Bozanic looked good tonight in a more advanced role first half. Linked well with the forwards. Would be happy with a midfield of Bozanic, Edwards and Clare on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope people forgive me, if I put more faith in any of our current midfield combinations, over a team that included Pawlett & Stanton in it. On the flip side McMullan is a terrific player would love to see him at us. Harkes is also a very good player. Pawlett has good running power but not got the composure on the ball. Utd striking options are very good though and we need to be totally at it on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorgieheart Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 why would we take an 18 year old winger on loan anyway ? he wouldnt be starting, benched at best... we need 2 more mids in, one defensive and one attacking/winger...experienced, not 18. With Haring quite rightly being rapped in cotton wool, surely CL will already have somebody in mind/be in talks with for that role, plus with Djoum away its much needed. Yes, give youth a chance, but our own, no point loaning from others just to set ours back ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see come Friday. But we need more. Been about four Evening News articles talking about Clare being the box to box midfielder, yet folk are frothing about it all over the place. Get Mulumbu in if Haring is injured and have Clare / Mulumbu as the central two in a 3-5-2, 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1. Haring to come back and opportunities for the likes of Cochrane & Irving.

Famous 1874 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Lee, Bozanic and Edwards are not good enough Lee whilst had a very productive season output wise he is far too slow and powerpuff Bozanic - neat and tidy, far too sideways and set piece delivery is usually poor Edwards - great engine and pressing, bar that what has he got?

Crying out for a box to box midfielder who can drag us up the park (have been for years now) I think Levein's comments suggest that's where Clare will play (box to box) perhaps thats why he was at left back, to improve his game defensively. Lee's off. I heard he was a defensive mid in England, you can tell as he can never spot that match winning pass IMO. We are missing that in the squad too although those are not easy to find Bozanic can be hit or miss. He has good football intelligence IMO and I wouldn't be releasing him. Also last year of his contact, bit of incentive there. Edwards, always liked the way he played. Tremendous work rate, very intelligent attacking wise. Was delighted when he signed and I still am now. But perhaps, like many in the past, our club is too big for him. He brings his best game he's a great guy to have around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
