Paisley dudes V AFC Match Thread

Sorry but a side with Campbell and Ojo in it doesn’t inspire confidence beating anyone in my humble opinion.

An attack minded set of players with some ability compared to others.

I think our best option with what we have left at the moment.

Go out and try and win the game, not phanny about with sideways and backward passes.

There's a demand from fans that we play attacking fitba without resorting to clubbing the ball to a target man.

Sometimes, to do that, with an energetic opposition in our players' faces, keeping possession (ALWAYS a good thing, memorably defined by Bill Shankly "when we have the ball we're attacking, when we don't we're defending") means finding our own men with the ball, be they in front of play, level with play, or behind it. Such fannying about will be necessary for periods of any game. I'd rather be in possession than not.

Fair point. Unfortunately on what I have seen so far I just don’t think Ojo in particular and Campbell are good enough to play at this level.

I have no issue with the system we play when our best players are fit. Just think when playing sh!te like Hamilton and St Mirren we should go all out attack as we still have better players man for man.

Opinions and all that 😀

Aye but it’s the fannying about, passing back and fore around our own 18 yard line, followed by the punt upfield that really gets on my tits.

I am with you on this. We should be playing Hernández (our most expensive signing under Del) because if he can’t do anything of note against St.Mirren then sent the tit out on loan somewhere as soon as.
