Super_Ally 0 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You are over analyzing what I'm asking. I'm not talking that low level. Basically how does out team prefer to play the game - high front line, four at the back, five at the back, lone striker, two strikers, wingers, player in the hole behind the strikers, sitting midfielder (s)???It doesn't take a TV panel of professionals to see that surely if you watch your team regularly? I can understand people saying they disagree with tactics, formation etc but not pretending to not see what is going on each week. "Preferred" tactics etc vary for all managers and teams across a season but we can all se the managers current preferred selections. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Davison 0 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 While I am pleased but not surprised that we have improved over last year, there has to be questions asked of our coaching and player development, when only one of our starting eleven I.e. MacLeod, didn't join us from another club. This suggests to me that there is accuracy in the thread title of Wasted Years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis is a centre midfielder, if all players are picked in their proper positions, he doesn't get a game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda to be expected when 18months ago we started a pre-season with 6 players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several were also given extended leave due to international duty but that fact doesn't suit certain agendas. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Little and Crawford who have started twelve (same as McLeod) and eight games each - more than half the games, don't they count? Scott Gallagher has also started six games, McAusland four, Hegarty two, Mitchell one. Then Aird has had 5 sub appearances and McKay four, Hutton two and Murdoch one. Maybe I should stretch stats the other way and include Stephen Smith who has started three games. That suggests to me that you're not actually interested in accuracy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are you, some of those lads were bought or signed from other teams. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Neither are you, some of those lads were bought or signed from other teams. So where do you draw the line? Pretty much all the lads will have played for a team previously, even if it's their school. If the criticism is that we don't have enough lads in the team who signed at say, eight years old then it's a pretty obscure one that is virtually meaningless. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't, that would just be silly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
