What I liked v Celtic was his drive. He was more aggressive on and off the ball. That's what I want from GMS. I like him, but we need to fit him in better. He's an auld fashioned tanner baw player and we don't really play with wingers so he needs to decide how to be useful. We want his twinkle toes in their box as much as poss is what I'd say. Looking ahead to summer, you wonder where we need to recruit now. LWB is pretty obvious, another CB dependent on Moore's situ. Maybe another guy who can play CM and into forward positions, so 10 and wide. We have McEneff for that, but could we upgrade (I like Aaron though). With Europe and hopefully (and likely) group stages included, perhaps simply some depth required. Maybe see some kids in the squad? The summer transfers? I think a goalkeeper would be you priority.

Japan Jambo Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 On 27/01/2022 at 10:02, BackOfTheNet said: Ginnelly will have games where he plays well, and games where he doesn’t. Just like any old fashioned winger. (Look at McKay’s performance last night) But he’s more than capable of putting teams like St. Johnstone to the sword, so is good enough for our league. Just maybe needs to be an impact sub for the bigger games rather than the relied upon starter. His greatest benefit is pace, this it utilised far better against tired defences. No one was talking about punting him after the last few games, only now after last night when our tactical approach was ‘let Celtic have the ball and break on the counter attack (whoops, I forgot they might score with 5 seconds to decide what to do on the ball)’. I wouldn’t be punting him yet. I'd add that he has the potential to be a standout on bigger pitches where the game is more stretched (i.e. Hampden). I like him and think he can continue to improve. With regard to GMS - sooner he packs the better, waste of a jersey, one good game a month is not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochrane seems happy enough getting forward without the ball - he's scored a few nice finishes now, and gets into good positions - if Natty Akka is the one with the ball providing chances for AC (and everyone else), then I'm all for it. Also, Cochrane can comfortably win/take the ball, move it onto whichever wee winger is on the left, and then run past on the overlap.
