alexscottislegend 2,084 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I was most impressed with young MacLeod last season. His injury was a major concern; however, he made it back for the final game but appeared tentative. My hope for this season was that he slowly and surely regained both confidence and form. He has surpassed my desire. He looks fitter, taller, stronger, and is aesthetically pleasing as ever. Seven games has seen him play across every midfield position, mostly in the left berth. His first touch is always twinned with ensuring his head is up and assessing options. Yesterday's goal was the epitome of this trait and it highlighted another increasingly obvious quality, game awareness. I have two fears. Where will he play next week? Templeton will be left midfield, Law in the centre, and Crawford/Peralta compete for the right berth. The other obvious candidate for centre is Black, I would prefer MacLeod. Further, can the club hold on to him beyond this season? I believe he has a big future and wonder if the club in it's current predicament can fulfil? Why can Templeton not play right midfield? Crawford is promising but I'm not sure RM is his natural position. We should certainly build around McLeod. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranger_syntax 3,780 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Don't see why Ally won't play him. I think that Clark will play up front with Daly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 3,780 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Not a left midfielder for me. Which is a shame as he'll probably get dropped. :-( black and Law in the middle. Unfortunately that can only stunt his development. Sadly I think you are right and MacLeod will be dropped for Black and Law. I'm sure he'll still get plenty of time on the pitch though. There are always injuries and suspensions. Perhaps his development will be helped by having to compete for a place in the team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ally really likes him in the team, he played him every game he was fit last year...he was pretty obviously our main stand out along with Wallace as well. So whatever Ally's plans were this year were with his signings i'm sure it has McLeod involved as a regular 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
