Scouser2 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 What a dramatic change from earlier in the season and enduring the week by week different experimental partnerships tried by McCulloch and some players shifted from wide to central midfield and back even during games......which also didn't help some of our younger players at that time All started by Paul McDonald bringing back Power from banishment , Taylor also did a decent job in that area.......now with qualities of Dicker back fit and the recruitment of Mulumbu ...still have likes of Wilson to return and players like Frizzell and Hawkshaw waiting for a chance to impress the quality in central midfield and options we have ..........look the best for many a season and I'm sure Clarke will find the best way to utilise them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesper Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Spot on, what a difference Power and Dicker are making. Mulumbu, we possibly didn't need, but he looks like a touch of class... Very assured on his touch and distribution, so I'm sure we'll make good use of him for the duration of his contract. I think there will be a couple of midfielders released in January, to free up some wages. Hawkshaw could well be one of them. Maybe McKenzie too. It will depend on their contracts I guess, but I'd imagine SC will be looking to strengthen the defence (central defence, I see Greer as a bit slow and a weak point) and a goalscorer to replace Boyd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMO Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Power has been solid last 6 games breaking up play, real bonus is Sicker who can then take the ball power wins and drive it forward. We're all getting good reviews on sportscene for what it's worth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 How did the three line up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souleycouley93 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Power was on the right Dicker sat and Mulumbu had license to go forward leftish area . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWWnnnnnn! Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm not his biggest fan in any way but does Boyd need replaced? He is there to score goals and has as many league goals as the thumb and more than both Aberdeen strikers. I think him n Brophy should be allowed to develop a partnership. All strikers miss chances, he will always be there to score/ miss them and dare I say it, he might be losing weight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbk Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Agree with you as I have said on previous boydie threads there are probably another three or four spfl teams who would take him in a heartbeat so let's just be thankful he's with us for how ever long that may be! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 all 3 midfielders seem better suited to play in more central roles so will be interesting to see how the team can adapt if playing all 3 in more "difficult" games --- on Saturday Jones later on in first half was asked to play more wide left to stop full back pushing forward into the space left when Mulumbu wandered inside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKtid Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Think we'll need to be wary of keeping too narrow. Felt Partick exposed us at times and meant their wingers were 1 on 1 with Findlay and O'donnell fairly regularly in first half. Agree with Scouser that Jones will need to provide more cover to left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyH80 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Mulumbu looked different class for the 60 minutes he played. Always looking for the ball, almost desperate at times. Showed composure throughout and strolled the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
