Gmcjambo Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I like him. A bit rough around the edges but he is positive, commits defenders and us prepared to shoot. We need players like this in our team, sadly lacking in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Ginnelly is still very raw but by far the best of the 3 'pacy' wingers we signed in the summer and we should defo try to keep him and improve him. Obviously depending on his salary expectations. Needs to get properly fit and get a decent run of games as a starter. Aidy White is fine from the bench especially against tiring Championship defences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The shot he took on from 40 yards was ridiculous but that's what the coaches are for, to knock that sort of nonsense out of him.

Would rather see wild shots but distances than three passes around the opposition box followed by losing the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s knocking it out of him, it’s coaching him to see the best option to choose. If he had taken it forward then shot as space opened up or slotted in someone else we might’ve won. He’s a rough diamond no doubt about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny1874 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ginnelly for me is the only wide player who is good enough to step up to the Premier (not including the young guys who may develop). I was raging at his decision making and finishing in 90 minutes yesterday, but that's probably a demonstration of why he's a wide player not a striker.

Agree, I think Ginnelly will only get better. The last two games he's come off the bench - we've looked far more dangerous. Yeah, his decision making and finishing could be better - but that can be coached (as someone has already pointed out). I just hope he signs for us as he's far better than Roberts and Frear.

Robbie,s comments that the game plan only came unstuck in the first half due to a wonder strike and a penalty bemuses me. Often or not that’s what occurs when you start on the back foot. The Celtic defence has been fragile recently and with a new young goalkeeper we should have been much more offensive from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 2-2 when we had the game in our hands he had us sitting off and playing too deep again. Celtic went to Milan and went 2-0 up, they blew away Aberdeen in 20 minutes in the sf. I never once thought they could replicate the first 20 minutes v Milan and win 9-0? Celtic might be a poor shadow of the Rogers team but they still have players, better than us in almost every position. Do folk never think about the other team on here? Celtic pressed us well, their better midfielders got on top of ours and they dominated play. We reacted and importantly scored early, they then got rattled and it swung in our favour. Seen it happen 100 plus times. Football is not as easy as just replicate a good spell over a whole game and then a season, it's not how football works. If it did, every team would do it.

His decision making after we went 2-0 down was fine. Subs made a big difference and we ended up being the better team in the game and a baw hair away from winning. Robbie is fine as a manager and you’re right. I’m not sure we can afford or attract much better at this stage, but he’s got a flaw that crops up now and again and we saw it on Sunday again. Cant agree on penalty for nothing though. In the new interpretation of the hand ball rules, it’s a stonewaller. Put it this way, if Julien does that at the other end, are you screaming for a penalty ? You’re damned right you are and it’s a travesty of gigantic proportions if you don’t get it. We can’t complain about the penalty, the first goal is unstoppable once he gets a yard of space luckily the way the ball broke to him and he’s always likely to do that to you. The third goal, great ball in but we need to be blocking Browns run onto it, not giving him a free bullet header. Griffiths is always going to score those little drop downs.
