Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 jack is the player that does the job no cunt else wants, think the way hemdani was, break up play, stop midfield runners etc, get the ball from the centre halves and give it to the more flair type players Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,913 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Its all about opinions, imo both are class acts and are well deserved first picks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris1984 1,259 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Can't believe people think Dorrans never played tremendous today, must be watching a different game than me. That or they are just clueless Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delamonty 992 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Like the positive comments Bears... Nice to read and makes a massive change from years gone by. We're not world beaters (yet)... but it looks like we are heading in the right direction. Of course, massive test coming up that will probably define our season. Before then, Pedro needs to get our starting 100% set. My fear is he'll opt for 'experience'. We need to take bold steps now... The players must be gaining in confidence.. We must leverage that.

Sitting far to deep which in turn is contributing very little. Because we only have two in the centre but still want to play the ball out from the back. Dorrans and Jack are outnumbered in the middle nearly every week so they have to come really deep to try and get on the ball then Dorrans is expected to run half the length of the pitch and back to get into the box.

I don't think we'll see either dominate or dictate the game but they'll need to step up against "them". Both did fine today but, as others have said, the negatives are the two OAP's in the team that have offered very little across the last 2-3 games. In all fairness, Id bench Miller but just get rid of Kranjcar; waste of a wage. I agree with all of this. Niko just can't cut it at this level anymore. Kenny could be useful as an impact sub as others have said. Great win today and over all I'm pleased with the performance. Onwards and upwards.

Think it would make sense if he is a mainstay until Wallace starts appearing less and less. Has the heart for it, knows what it's all about and a right good player too.

This. I would happily play both in a five man midfield. 3-5-2 is the way to go. Feel that against better teams we will be overrun in the middle. With a five man midfield , with two holding then we will not be overrun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think a three with Jack, Dorrans and one other would be pretty good. Maybe Rossiter in the bigger games but I think he and Jack are too similar for the smaller teams and games at home. Someone in the style of Holt would be ideal next to Jack and Dorrans I think, someone with energy to get about and cover the whole pitch while Jack sits and Dorrans gets forward. I don't think Holt's good enough but that type of player would be perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both seem to be way too similar, and both of them together stops us getting up the pitch quickly. Thoughts? I said that a couple of weeks ago but was told Dorrans is a more attacking/creative player. I have yet to see it..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I've no idea how someone could have watched us over the last few weeks and come to the conclusion that Jack and/or Dorrans are the problem. Baffling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 64,519 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Between Morelos and Jack for our best player so far imo, Buffalo has probably just moved ahead of him but he is excellent. Dorrans has been steady, needs to do more though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me at all, he certainly has all the attributes . I never notice players from other teams , so he was never a stand out to me for the sheep , but he's been excellent for us . Our best signing imo , hes what we've been missing for years . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,519 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 As I said in the Candeias thread, Jack seems to be doing the job we thought Dorrans would be doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I guess is also a bit of style of play. But yeah I too was expecting Dorrans to be in behind the strikers a bit more. He seemed to be doing the mopping up today in the home above the defenders.

Dorrans is a bit of a weird one, he hasn't been bad by any means but think everyone is a little disappointed because we all had such big expectations for him, especially after Motherwell.

Yeah. He's been solid if not spectacular in every game. I think the best Dorrans has played in his career was when he first signed for West Brom and he was played as a wide midfielder but not a winger. But that was a long time ago now and he's definitely moved on from that style of play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
