TheRoyalBlueShirt 140 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ally plays his teams to guard a lead (I'm thinking) so why have a predator like Boyd on the books?Kris Boyd looked non too happy with the lack of service and urgency to create a goal scoring opportunity when we went 1-0 up last night.I reckon Boydy will bag a few but with Ally's shut up shop tactics he'll be as frustrated as the fans this coming campaign.

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 He's looked frustrated in the games I've watched him in. We need service to the big man and that's not going to come from full backs all the time. We need wingers on the park, beating a man and whipping a ball in. Or actually players who move up the park wanting to score instead of guarding a 1-0 friendly lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontius Pilate 21 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 To stop Hearts (or anyone else) from signing him? I hope not. I hope he is part of Ally's plan. His game is simple, give him service and he'll score. I have a horrible feeling Ally will demand more of him (and he's really not a great footballer, aside from his killer scoring instincts), and then drop him when he's under-performing (when actually it'll be a failing of tactics). But let's wait and see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassaaaa 11,406 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Boyd is like playing with a man down , was always going to turn out bad signing him ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 A couple of Shiels, Templeton, Aird and McKay (injuries permitting) the team might help create the chances for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally played in some of our greatest sides ever whereas he is managing our worst side ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 hopefully Boyd can get some quick goals and we can hang on for 89 minutes. That's how we set ourselves up anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ally was clearly trying to wind us up and getting us thinking hed play some attacking football this season. But Ally is a bottle merchant whos scared of other teams and doesnt have the guts to have a go at them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
