IainMorton Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I can understand McInally playing one up front and packing the midfield against teams like Dunfermline, Dundee and St. Johnstone but against Stirling we should be playing two up front and going for it. I would have like to have seen a 4-4-2 with Graham up front with Templeman with probably Stevenson dropping to the bench. Temps was well out of his depth today up front on his own and trying to play a ball for him to run on to is pointless as he has no speed, he needs the ball to feet or high balls to knock down.

He doesn't knock down though, he needs someone to run off him as he just about always flicks it ahead, today as lone striker no one was ahead...

That's what I mean, he needs some-one up front with him to play off his knock down and flick ons. He tried it a few times today and there was nobody there with him to get on the end of anything.

big B Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I thought McInally's tactics were wrong today fair enough play with 1 striker up front to start with but Stirling were there for the taking today. A blind man and his dog could see if Morton played with 2 strikers up front in the 2 half I have no doubt we would have won that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said 'other' striker Although he's still rotten as a lone striker. No - you wanted a fast finisher up front - and so partner is needed for him(they get lonely). Templeman does not appear to have those abilities. <_> The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club.

Well as a lone striker you are the most foward player so why would you knock the ball on ? He is good at holding the ball up at feet and playing it back but he should be taking a hit and trying to bring the ball down not just flicking the thing on . I don't blame the player as we know how he plays but there must be a question over what the manager is trying to achieve . Could it be our midfield aren't strong enough to play 4 , we know the defence was shaky with a 3 so we changed that system . Obviously McInally would rather gain a point as risk opening the game up .
