wattie exploited Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 been saying this for a age now and I think most supporters would agree we have been crying out for a attacking midfield player as the midfield we have just aint good enough at creating chances its ok playing a pub team like Airdrie fc but we are hopeless in this department and have been the last two years this need s to be addressed pronto or we are going to struggle to win any ****ing games when we cant beat teams at the bottom of the league well slightly above us we are toiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to be positive and am trying but which four or five players will be out for the next few games? I’m over the injury excuse and thinking when so and so gets back things will turn.

It makes me yearn for the days when you used to be able to slate a striker for missing sitters. There have been more games than I care to remember over the last few years when we haven’t carved out a single decent chance in 90 minutes.

When we do our finishing is utterly hopeless. the hope is that Naismith gets an injury free run now because at home he is definitely our only hope for goals. Meshino has an eye for goal but shouldn’t be carrying that burden. Uche, McLean and Washington (Though to be fair he’s only just back) are abysmal in the goal scoring front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Agree. We need to sort out our central midfield badly. If we persist with Irving and Bozanic, there's a good chance we'll be relegated. We need two first choice central midfielders and a goalscorer to stand a good chance IMO.

Jamboscanbevicius Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Not sure a pure attacking CM is what we need. We have players like Naisy and Meshino that can create. But we lack real drive in the middle of the park. Someone that grabs a game by the scruff of the neck. Have only seen him a few times, but I think this is the kind of role Alex Mowatt played in DS’s Barnsley side. Believe he’s out of contract this summer but unlikely to get him as others will be circling and Barnsley seem keen to shaft us where possible.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 We have plenty of them. Its somebody to win it back and someone to pass it to the attacking players that is the problem. Meshino, Walker, Naismith, Moore, Henderson, Donis, how many more of these types do we need. We have no enforcer, we have no passer (slightly harsh on Irving but its a big ask in the circumstances) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboelite Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Its more a box to box midfielder thats needed if only there was a Paul Hartley out there.
