hmfcdaz01 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Am I the only one that doesn’t understand some posters rush to move Kingsley back to LWB? Yes he would be good there but I feel he’s excelled as a LCB , his reading of the game has been brilliant, he’s made a good few last ditch blocks to save us . Cochrane is one who we’d be lucky to keep next season, he has got better in an attacking sense as the season has went on and is solid defensively. Cochrane and Kingsley complement each other well for me and I’d be in no rush to change that , even if Souttar leaves/is frozen out now surely Robbie wouldn’t abandon his largely successful system which has got us clear in 3rd and go back to a back 4?

Just a bit of an annoying situation as we really should be getting 2mil+ when you consider what players like Scott McKenna went for. Anyway - on to the next one. Confident we can find a decent replacement! Yeah. I'd take £500k and a sneaky % of next fee and as you say move on. Not good, but not a insignificant amount.

One thing I'd say and it's a bit unfair, is that if anything a new LWB would be something i'd be looking at. Cochrane is great but I wonder if he's a bit of an LB not a LWB. No big issue, the lads brill, and if Natty is a stormer on the other side, maybe Cochrane and Kingsley on the left being a bit more steady and technical isn't the worst. Cochrane has shown he can assist and finish, so as I say, but unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re GMS, he has been in and out the team and marmite as a player but take a look at the league table. There’s no player down the pecking order can say they “deserve” more chances when the team is sat in 3rd place. Also Jamie is not left footed. It’s woodburn and Barrie McKay who Jamie is more closer to as a player. Gary is the only left footed attacker / midfielder we have got in the squad (folk often like to just ignore or forget the significance of that) Good luck to Jamie at Bradford, we know he is capable of a classic goal, hope he has the fitness to compete, league 2 may be just the place for him and a big club as well.

jamboinglasgow Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Best option, he was unlucky that after 1 bad game, Sneddon went on to have a great team keeping him on the bench.
