BUILDMYGALLOWS1986 413 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Has to play further up the park! I think he would ideally suit the role currently being occupied by miller or Pena. I've played against graham growing up and he's always played further up the park apart from his later time in England. He will get you goals and also has the ability to play that killer pass to Morelos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,802 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I think both him and Jack would benefit from a holding midfielder behind them. Allow Jack to continue the way he is playing and allow Dorrans to get forward and be more creative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie0202 12,476 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Agreed. I think some of the people in the match thread yesterday who were saying that he wasn't doing much in the game don't realise he has been told to sit a bit deeper.

Cobham 1,569 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 At times he was in between the two CBs looking for the ball. He would be much more effective than Miller in the role behind Morelos and would also allow Rossiter to help Jack dominate the midfield which we haven't done for a full match yet.

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 While I agree to an extent, let's not get too lost in a few yards of pitch. He's playing in the middle of the park and if I'm being honest, he's been a monumental anti-climax. His two goals at Fir Park were an excellent introduction and last night's equaliser was a touch of class, but we're talking about a boy we've been passionately linked with since Walter Smith's time here and upon arrival, he hasn't demonstrated the capabilities of a guy who's well-versed in the bright lights of the English Premier League. We need much, much more from him. Dropping the shoulder and cutting back to get away from an opponent ten times per-match in your own half is fine, but we need more creativity. The same applies to Alves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 83,157 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Needs to be further up the park. He has goal scoring ability and fuck knows we need all the help in that department that we can get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same applies to Alves. Maybe if he was allowed to do that 20/30/40 yards up the pitch he would give us that creativity. That's the whole reason people are 'getting lost in a few yards of pitch'. Those few yards may be the difference between him dropping the shoulder and turning away from a striker on our 18 yard box and making a 5 yard pass or dropping the shoulder and turning away from a holding midfielder 20/30 yards from goal and slipping a ball through to Morelos or having a shot on goal. Those 'few yards of pitch' might just make all the difference in Dorran's case! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky. 6,958 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Stifled on the most part when playing so deep. Needs Rossiter in his place to allow him to then take a free role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewaj3 1,446 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We need someone like Steven Davis in our team, the only two in my eyes that are capable are dorrans and possibly under some major miracle transformation Pena. I genuinely thought Pena was going to be the type to unlock defences. I agree though with dorrans I'd tell him not to come too deep.use his energy for attacking. It might leave us open at points but if we can't hold off Patrick then we are in trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I said the same thing last night. Dorrans is far too deep and Miller starting is like being a man down and Pena doesn't look much better. I think we do have makings of a decent team but it's clear some things are not working and need changing, perhaps the most worrying thing is the fact everyone can see it except Pedro.

Inigo 32,581 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I don't think 4 in midfield is working. Things like... Jack Dorrans Pena ... Rossiter Dorrans Jack ... would be worth a go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,214 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Dorrans plays deeper now, I'm not sure if it's by choice or because he doesn't have the legs he used to after injuries or whatever, but somebody who knew that said that on here when we were initially linked with him and everybody was talking about how he would en a great attacking midfielder for us.

Boybluesy 3,772 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We lost our shape when Jack went off For me Dorran's an excellent footballer and has been told to sit in. Could easily play Miller's role - whatever the fuck that is meant to be Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
