BackOfTheNet Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Imagine Simms and Shankland. Simms scoring another semi final goal yesterday, this time at Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy head Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I really,really miss Ginnely. I thought him and Shankland looked so good together. Vargas though promising (Totally shocking yesterday) doesn't seem to be on the same page as Shanks and his woe at teammates greed or inability to lift the head is showing.

The manager and others seems to want a similar player to himself alongside Shankland when the evidence shows that hes better with a quick striker ahead of him.

Wouldn't mind going down that level of loan route again, but to be honest while Shankland is here, no one else is getting a game ahead of him. They won’t even get on as a sub, they’d be only getting games if he’s injured or suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager doesn’t want to play a quick striker beside or ahead of Shankland unfortunately, would rather have Boyce/Lowry/Grant/Fraser/Hoff/Devlinetc who have all played behind him at times this season without a hell of a lot of success.

Shankland is with us because he lacks pace. If he had that he’d be playing in the elite leagues. Just don’t think it’s enough to rely on wing pace alone. It’s a difficult puzzle to piece together it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two and he rarely plays them ahead of Shankland up top, when he does we play better and create chances. With the players we currently have and those signed for next season we look like we are going with a slow 10 behind Shankland and possession based play. Not quick balls behind defences to help stretch the game to create space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t think it’s enough to rely on wing pace alone. It’s a difficult puzzle to piece together it seems. Of course. Not for me, play a Simms/Gino/Vargas/Tagawa ahead of him and let him exploit the space behind them when the stretch the defence in behind. When hes up top teams squeeze the game and restrict the space we try to play in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely 12 minutes ago, chrystaf said: Surely the latter is the way to unlock the buses that are regularly parked by opposing teams. What teams park the bus against us nowadays? Most teams push up on us as we don’t offer a threat in behind, as much as McKay disappears in huge games we need him to pass the ball to space as he against Livingston. We have an average home record because we start so slowly and usually have to change something to get the better of teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
