Which is fine but as I've said I think he's limited in an attacking sense, and if he's to be a wingback (mainly) I feel we need something more than him in their half of the pitch. Lets hope he improves in that department this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fair enough, although I think his passing isn't quite good enough (well, that's what I nitially took from his early performances - might have gotten better as season went on but I didn't pay enough attention over teh course). Would be interesting to see what his pass completion %age was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Elwood P Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 22 minutes ago, Boyces beard said: Think you need to look at the big picture mate, last season Cochrane was excellent and was mostly a main stay in the team. For the coming season we have signed Kye Rowles. Halkett will be the centre of our 3 when we play with 3 centre halfs of that there is no doubt. Kye Rowles has been brought here to play and is predominantly left footed so there is no chance he will be playing right centre half and he will slot in at left centre half. Robbie has actively said we are looking for a right centre half so that leaves Kingsley and Cochrane for the left back/wing back role. Unless Kingsley is sold or Cochrane is preferred to Kingsley in the left back/wing back positions then its highly likely Cochrane will be more of a squad player this season. You better tell Robbie, he's on the BBC saying very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie said the same about Mackay-Steven and Ginnelly when they signed but i would class them both as squad players last season. Every player will get game time with the hectic schedule we will have but lets see who starts in Europe and in our games against the better teams in the SPL, that will give us a better indication of who Robbie considers to be his best starting 11.

I can’t see why Neilson would want to move him after his level of performance last season at LCB getting him into the team of the season but at least we know he’s always an option there. I can see the argument for him being more effective going forward at LWB but he still contributes a great deal going forward from LCB, especially when Cochrane is also in the team to provide cover when Kingsley goes forward.

Thomson1874 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Glad Cochrane has signed on a permanent deal. He’s already proven last season that he’s more than good enough to play at this level, especially considering it was his first full season at first team level. The big thing now is whether or not he can kick on and become a big player for us and potentially net us a transfer fee in future. Although I slightly agree with other posters that he possibly doesn’t contribute quite enough going forward, he has contributed with a few goals and it can’t be underestimated the relationship he has built with Kingsley and the defensive cover he can provide when Kingsley goes forward.

Hopefully we’ll see some good talent coming through in the B team this season as well - would be good to see some players coming through who are comfortable in the wing back role if the three at the back is the preferred formation going forward.

I think there's two improvements we should be looking to see down the left. One is that Cochrane should be coached to find better opportunities for a cross instead of cutting back inside so often. Or that he finds a but of something to knock past someone and get further down the line. The second is that the Kingsley/Cochrane combos could really damage teams if done better. Similar to Tierney and Robertson with Scotland who rotate effectively and make it hard for teams to block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Tierney and Robertson with Scotland who rotate effectively and make it hard for teams to block. I think as the season went on, Cochrane tended to cut inside more often as opposed to the start of the season where he was getting into the box a bit more. Not sure why that happened, perhaps a confidence thing or not being used to playing so many games etc. Considering last season was his first at this level, I think we’ll see a lot more development in his over the next season, and the more he plays LWB the better he will get at the role. I agree though, playing this formation, it’s crucial to get that rotation right on both sides, especially on the left with Kingsley’s ability going forward.
