I can feel everybody's pain regarding corners, free kicks, hitting a moving ball etc.
I actually hate when a corner is given for and against us.
We now have NO physical threat in the box at all. Goldson, Helander and Balogun gave us a threat and scored a few vital goals either directly or indirectly. I presume Soutter would also give us an edge.
I like Sands as a player and he can play but he is not the sort of player to dominate in the air. King is still learning his trade and the rest are lightweight.
I was raised on Ronnie McKinnon, Bomber Jackson, Derek Johnston etc. We have had some excellent centre halves since then as well. A good big one will always beat a good wee one was a maxim used by an old coach of mine back in the day. Not always true but not far away from it.
No surprise that MON filled his Tim team with huge players that brought success until Big Eck brought in Big Marv.
We need some bigger more athletic players with lots of aggression and of course skill. Plenty of these type of players in Croatia, Serbia, even the English Championship.
Club either backs Gio and gives him cash or go for Beale.
