We are already overloaded with players in the position. Arfield, Ojo, Jones, Hastie, Stewart, Murphy. Could even add Docherty and Middleton to that list. You’re talking 6 players players for two positions. If Murphy gets fit he could be a big player. You feel like a broken record saying that with the players we’ve had in the last couple of years at this club but surely he can do it. In terms of the question of another signing in general, it is surely dependent on outgoings. Shifting Dorrans and Grezda would free up a huge amount of wage money.

Bill 13,717 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The signing of Grezda for significant money looks like a huge punt in the dark. I hope we won’t be seeing that again. The current regime have had a long time now to properly assess recruitment targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was speaking of being open to a loan move only 5 days ago so maybe it’s a trial with a view to moving on loan. He’s already featured for them in a friendly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason there's confusion about whether it's 4-3-2-1 or 4-3-3 is because it's both. In the games against Marseille and St Jo's at home, we played with width on the left side and narrow on the right. We then changed this at half time to swap where the width was. We tried this against Newcastle too but they had packed the midfield so tightly (after our goal) that neither worked with width so we then went very narrow. The fact we can do this with each side operating almost independently of the other bodes we'll for us. However it requires a lot of discipline defensively, especially on the side operating wide as it's too easy to be caught on the break on that side. Newcastle spotted this and tried to play directly in behind Barisic. Thankfully for us their passing wasn't so effective but against better opposition it will be and we will have to be prepared for this. Gaffer -when did we play Newcastle? Was it behind closed doors?
