We desperately need battling midfielders who'll give the back line some protection , right now teams are waltzing through our midfield untouched. If this means no McGinn in the team then so be it , the teams league status means more than accommodating players who aren't performing , no matter how they played in a weaker league last season ! I would play Jones in front of the back 4. He hasnt been given a proper chance yet. We are in danger of ruining our reputation with loan clubs if we dont give them a chance. This lad was captain of the reserves team surely worth shot as holding player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn a better option at right back and a fit eckersley better at left back. In my opinion, obviously Surely you cant ge serious about Eckersley? first off i doubt he will play again for us. Hope for his sake he gets a clean bill of health, but he has been injury prome for a number of seasons now, and really isnt worth the risk. On top of that he was ok last season playing behind a midfield that could overrun most teams in that league, He would, imo be our worst possible option in this league, as he possesses neither pace, power, strength or tackling skills. i know he's got a lot to say, but what we need is guys who have a lot of play in them. Sadly for him, his best is now behind him. its only opinions, but I really dont think he should, or indeed will be near the team again.

Of the Stubbs signings though he is the only one I can give pass marks to, just. Whats the facination with Adam Eckersley, he has never played above the Championship in this country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Whats the facination with Adam Eckersley, he has never played above the Championship in this countryNo fascination for me, I just think he's looked more solid at left back than Hodson does.

Callum Gilhooley Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Whats the facination with Adam Eckersley, he has never played above the Championship in this countryWhereas Hodson & Coulson both played champions league ?? I don’t think it’s a fascination , I think it’s more the fact that Hodson & Coulson are obviously not natural left backs and Eckersly is . I do agree however that we shouldn’t be pinning our hopes on Eckersly with his injury record . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but Hodson has played internationals, I don't think any off the three are the answer, we are just not good enough as a unit. Another issue for me is Willock, he got plenty of game time in a St Johnstone team that was a lot better last season than we are this one, yet can't make the bench. I also feel young MacPherson is being hung out dry a bit, in that he is not ready to play at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenstrieSaint Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Lots for discussion here , firstly we need a system in place that suits the players we have , secondly we need to work out how we can tighten the defence and score the odd goal . We need hard working players all over the park , we also need a bit of height in the midfield area as we seem to lose everything in the air , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I think Eckersley is the new Franco Miranda, who got better and better with each passing week that he wasn't able to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I dont want to be to down here, but our last 3 away have shipped 11 goals. Do we actually have a plan ? I would have thought we could plug our defence. Gus effect obviously not kicked in yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
