Credit to Jack though who I feel has been excellent so far. Jack reads the game well and is effective at breaking up play, Dorrans has underwhelmed, perhaps he is too similar to Jack but we lack a driving midfield player and desperately need creativity. I hope Pena falling in the river was a wake up call and he gets a run of games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Huge upgrade on last season, he has not pulled up trees every game but he is a good footballer and imo will prove his worth, it seems RM needs a punchbag and it was Millers turn last week.

Malkytfp1 18,672 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 He plays too deep for me. Him and Jack are doing the same shift when Dorrans should be in the final 3rd more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Played a good game; rarely makes mistakes, and nearly scored. We won by the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,763 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Was pretty poor against hearts. Done well yesteday and done the job of 2 against hibs. Will be a good signing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1872 20,878 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Still finding fitness and at times he's up against an extra man in midfield. I'll hold off getting the pitchforks out just yet FS! ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanoli 4,625 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 We really need Pena to be a player. Not just to get value for our £3m, but to get the best out of Dorrans. If Pena reaches his potential we'll have no choice but to go to 3 in the middle, and that will free up Dorrans to go and play a bit higher up the park, with Jack sitting. He just can't do that in a 2. I really think our competitiveness relies a lot on Pena forcing us into a 4231/433. Celtic, Aberdeen and maybe even Hibs will wipe the floor with us if we go into the big games in a 442. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 31,061 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Dorrans, Jack & Pena have more experience than Rossiter. I guess the only way to get this experience is to wait for an injury which no one wants to see happen and then take that opportunity. We are better in the midfield than last year but it's still nothing special. I wonder what young guys like Thompson and Barjonas must think for they clearly have the skill yet but lack experience. I still don't think we bleed in our younger players enough.I expected more from Dorrans so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone in the style of Holt but an upgrade would be ideal next to Jack in a 4-2-3-1 with Dorrans in the 10. Someone with energy to get about the park while Jack sits and Dorrans can get forward and create. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
