Campbell deserves a move albeit Im not sold he'll cut it in the Championship,
Similar to Stevie Hammel in his earlier days in as much he deserves a crack at a bigger team , broaden his experience and hopefully return back to us in a few years time to see out his career.
Hamilton will play with a 5 man midfield and unless we change we'll go with 3 men, which will force too much of the play into our half and stop us getting the ball to the front 3.
Easily solved if we go to 3-5-2
recruitment is tricky and even the best managers sign people who just don't work out. Tommy Mclean signed some awful players but had the knack of moving them on quickly.
Personally I'd rather try and find better Scottish talent than always going the lucky dip of the lower English leagues but appreciate it's easier said than done.
Overall a smaller squad and use the cash saved on wages to bring in a better quality than we've had.
truthfully I think Kelly is the one who behaves most like a captain.
S'OD is pretty quiet on the pitch (As is Gallagher )
Appreciate giving a loan signing would be a bit odd , personal view he's a natural captain.
This feels very similar to the Barraclough era for me.
GA has come in and helped us to safety - snap
Needs time to replace some of the squad - snap
Talks about the need to work hard, blah blah - snap
lack of willingness to change the formation or adjust during the game - snap
Bit like when we stayed up people are happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and see what he does next season
completely agree with these posts.
4-3-3- doesn't work.
Would be easy to change to a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 and get the most from players like S'OD, Long etc.
We can all see it , the pundits on TV call it out but GA does nothing to change it week to week or in the game.
I don't agree - he continually plays the same formation. He must be the easiest person to set up against and he doesn't make changes.
Appreciate the squad has issues but its hard to be impressed by his approach.
Why we set up and kept a 4-3-3- when its obvious we need to get in behind them. 442, 352 would have worked.
Not impressed with the players or our mgt team.
Person view we have 2 issues
1 ) formation doesn't work for us
2) 5 of our starting 11 aren't good enough for SPL. (McGinley, Lamie, Crawford, Maguire, Lawless )
