Copland bear 7,966 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I do like the big man but feel he could be doing with losing half a stone, Put him on the bench for a couple of games a push him hard in training. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie 205 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The guy's done well since he's came in. he's been off form; nothing more. Give the guy a break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie 205 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Said at the time the only reason we would sign him was to punt the ball up to him or for him to hold the ball up. He's proved me wrong on his goalscoring form, but the rest has been spot on. He's part of the problem why our football is so poor and until he's dropped for a faster, more mobile striker, we'll continue playing the same pish high ball to no-one.We would play the same high ball pish if Clark was up front on his own. It's the tactics of the management that's the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 What a lazy bastard.Sponging wages off us for 3 years offering absolutely fuck all to the team bar the odd tap in.Fair do's he should have a partner, but Christ, I thought Boyd was immobile.Bench for a couple games please, Little and Shiels up top; let him know he's not guaranteed a place.Won't happen though.Who else would the ball be lumped up to? He is there to suit Ally's tactics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sket 13,610 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Agree with OP, always critical of Boyd for lazybastarditis but held off on daly to see how he'd go over the season- his decline has been rapid.Ps - this is not a "bring boyd back post" - both should be barred from coming within 100metres of the club.I'd take Boyd back in a heartbeat.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Can't and shouldn't be played as a lone striker..Time to give little a run up top beside him.Said befor Little and Daly is our best front two. Sheils is never a striker but can play behind the front two IF Ally insists in Law playing deep midfield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'd take Boyd back in a heartbeat.in our current situation? why? we have enough to get up back to the top and it's another wage not required. We should be cutting back, not adding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I reckon his pointed tail slows him down somewhat, should never have been brought to the club in the first instance.Which one are you, Ant or Dec? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva La Vuvuzela! 13 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Which one are you, Ant or Dec? Gotcha! That took a while! I like big Daly, he badly needs a partner up front tho due to his lack of mobility, Jon has the presence but it's taking far too long to get support to him. After Wallace and (maybe) Bell he's probably the most accomplished player on our books atm.VLV Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheils is never a striker but can play behind the front two IF Ally insists in Law playing deep midfield.I think Law needs to be allowed to play a more attacking role rather than playing deep as he has been lately. It is holding him back and we are not taking advantage of what a good attacking player he is.would give Jon more support too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBluenose1972 1,405 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You know what....I dont hate the guy....I just hate it's Ally's way of playing football...New beginning...We should be playing football properly not these shitey high balls....Horrible.

RFC Eagle 4,888 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 have to agree with you thereWould prefer to see Mohsni playing in his role as defender and Law getting up moreMohsni could still make those runs, as he was doing early on, if he played Black in front of the back 4 with Law and MacLeod ahead of him.but we seem to be stuck in a rut with formations at the minute.

Allanger 625 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Up front in Ally's team is a thankless job. Long balls humped up the park in Dalys direction wont work Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,874 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Up front in Ally's team is a thankless job. Long balls humped up the park in Dalys direction wont workHe needs a partner because he lacks pace and a quality first touch being a lone striker is pretty grim for him.Playing two up top in the leauge should be a must.

Loyal and Blue 19 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Can someone count how many times we actually punt the ball to Daly at tomorrow's game? I've seen every game this season and I would say more often than not we pass the ball. The only player who I would say punts the ball to Daly on a regular occasion is McCulloch.

Every pass on the floor or cross into the box is ignored and every punt is analysed to death. It's as if some people think the ball leaving the floor is against the rules of football.

They play attacking football and don't sit back like other teams tend to do.They are well capable of causing us problems. I'd rather play them than some of the other teams who try and kill off the game with 90 mins of defending and career threatening tackles.

It takes character to come from behind and win. Such matches hold us in good stead for next season against full time teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
