docspiderman 1,254 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The good thing is we have options availableWe have Hutton , Peralta and McCulloch who can all play the sitting roleI'm sure Moshni is capable there alsoMcCulloch can not play the holding role but no doubt if he is not picked elsewhere he will be be put there to the detriment of the team. Black had his best spell when he played that role at Hearts and I still think Hutton would be more effective driving forward from midfield.Ally does say a lot of things but rarely have we seen any of them actually being seen on the pitch so I will wait and see.

JR 1,480 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I listened to the Motherwell game on the radio (2-2 I recall) and we must have had about 2 dozen shots. Just makes you wonder if certain individuals hadn't taken umbrage at being asked to be professional whether we woulod have been on to something.I think we won it 2-1. One of the best away performances I'd seen in a long time. I was a fan of Buffel and had this game come along two or three weeks later when everyone was match sharp, he would've taken some of the barrel~load of chances he missed that day and we'd have been outta sight. Instead they pulled one back and it was touch and go towards the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hard to pick a line up without leaving many good players out but BellFoster, Mohsni, Cribari, WallaceBlack/Peralta Macleod, Law, Templeton Clark, Daly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Tbf mate I think Matt McKay and Fran Stella might disagree but I hope Peralta won't go that way.Did Ally bring them in though? Ally went to South America to watch Peralta, didn't he? So he obviously wanted him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
