GinRummy Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Berra than you said: Yup. I've been going back and forward on this. Think we should try for someone who can do both, but we have more cover at cb than rb so probably needs to be a RB. Probably agree. I think Smith is really strong at CB when needed. Not sure whether Halkett or Popescu could slot in at RB but I don’t know if I’d like to find out.

We have Walker, Naismith, Haring, Halliday, potentially even Smith who can play in there. In this league we dont win games from centre mid - it’s too congested in the middle of the park. We win games by getting it wide and stretching the play. Our only real wide option now is GMS. Henderson/Frear/Robert’s don’t cause problems for full backs. Listen to what Neilson has said in the past. Dig in the middle, food wingers and 2 centre forwards. No point having a 6ft 4in striker when we have no width to deliver crosses?

If Irving was injured, if Halkett was injured, if Ginnelly was injured. I take your point. I see the argument.

Agree that width is essential at the moment, especially with strikers that can feed off crosses. But I somewhat disagree about not winning games from centre midfield. Central midfield should control a game and possession and we’re not doing that. Irving is still fledgling and although he has the composure he’s not quite at the dictating tempo stage. We will never control a midfield (and therefore possession) while Halliday is there either. And in this league we should be able to control the midfield.

Newton51 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Dunfermline are favourites to land Craig Wighton from Hearts, Scott Burns writes. The frontman looks set to make the switch to their Championship promotion rivals for the season. Wighton had started the season in Robbie Neilson’s team but has fallen down the Tynecastle order pecking order. The Pars are now looking to close a loan deal after their Tynecastle defeat today. Wighton was also wanted by Hamilton and Arbroath but looks set for East End Park. Hearts are prepared to sanction the deal after moving 12 points clear of Dunfermline and the chasing pack in the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1874 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I think a RB and/or CM can really sort us out for rest of season A winger would be nice. But imagine a really attacking RB. Who could cross and create chances for our forwards. Them Smith goes into CB or CM. Making us more solid in whichever area he goes Same applies for brining in a CM. Someone with bit of energy and mobility could help Irving and which ever 10 plays. Think solving the ‘problems’ at CB or CM would help more than getting a winger. Although maybe i’m just scarred from Frear and Roberts signing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
