El Patrón Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 When he thinks he should jump for a header, he should stop, wait 1 second, then jump. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al k Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Didn't play Falkirk under Hughes (Thank God), but his heading is terrible at times. He goes for headers with his eyes closed, which is the worst thing to do. If he can stop that he'd be far more successful. Also work on the timing of his jumping too. When his heads down it's easy to get the basics wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambo1885 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I might be in the minority here, but I like McCann. I do feel he's better playing of the left rather than thru the middle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 He's useless in the air for a big guy of his physique. Again I'd attribute that and any other limitations in his game more to a lack of instinctive ability rather than a lack of effort and coaching. I'd love him to really make a significant impact this year and it really needs to be his season or he'll surely be moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Also a very frustrating habit of scuffing his shots often enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Re the balance between defence and attack, I reckon that in the last 10 seasons in the Championship, the team with the best defensive record has won the league in 9 out of the 10 - albeit one year it was the joint best. The one exception was in 17/18 where St Mirren had the 2nd best defence (by one goal) and still won the league. The team with the best defence finished 4th that season... No prizes for guessing who managed to disprove the rule. Anyway, there's something to be said for the first priority being not to concede.

DA-go Par Adonis Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 (edited) Mind you, the team scoring the most goals has won it 9 times out of 10 also... We did win a league with the 3rd best goals for record and by far the best defence Edited July 3 by DA-go Par Adonis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
