Linked up excellently today. Both hard workers, both bring each other into play, kamberi took his two goals so far really well, Maclaren will score a few with the situations he gets himself into once he's fully sharp. I know people where saying Murray and stokes linked up well during the betfred cup at the start of the season but you get the feeling these two have a very good understanding already.

The front 2

If it wasn’t for the Aberdeen keeper having a great game, Maclaren could easily have had a hat trick
Not criticising him, there’s certainly goals in him

Interesting to hear NL saying that McLaren is a better player than they thought they were getting.

I'm confident MacLaren will come good. He hasn't played regularly for over 6 months and it looks like he's trying too hard. A couple of goals from open play and he'll relax and start playing more instinctively I reckon as he's a good striker.

MacLaren will probably be disappointed not to have scored today but he hit a very good shot which the keeper could only parry into the path of Boyle to nod it into the goal. This is what kick-started the excellent 2nd half performance so MacLaren gets a lot of credit for the part he played in that.

Jurys out for me on Mclaren, yes he works hard, but he should have scored at least one today.
Maybe Im expecting too much too soon.

Both worked very hard. I thought some of McLaren's runs were excellent but his finishing wasn't great. Hopefully it will come but it's the hardest part of football. Both look to be decent signings but still early days

McLaren works hard but I think he is an improvement on Murray. I do like Murray as a penatly box srriker though

Jesus wept. We battered Aberdeen today and here is a thread with people moaning about our strikers. FFS

MacLaren looked a bit rusty and on another day could easily have got himself two or three goals but ended up firing straight at the keeper each time.
some of his runs were excellent though, always looking to get in behind the defence and getting himself in dangerous positions.
Once he's back up to speed with a few matches under his belt I can see him doing very well and developing a good partnership with Kamberi

Both strikers give us more than Stokes and Murray. Kamberi is more physical than Murray leads line better. McLaren is quick and makes great runs and sits on last defender shoulder hence the offsides.
With Allan creating for them and Boyle we are likely to be more dangerous.

It was great to see a pacy striker playing right on the last man and getting into positions. It's a cliche but his movement looked decent.
His hesitancy and lack of conviction when finishing was a bit of a worry at times though. Hopefully it was just a case of being a bit rusty and trying too hard to make sure he hit the target not to balloon one over the bar.

Playing with both strikers who work hard, allows us to press high up the park, let’s our midfielders have space to play in

It’s ok.
I don’t see any moaning, just people trying to work out how McLaren never got a goal today.

Early days but the 2 of them together are going to be a handful for any team. Add to that the supply they’ll get from today’s 3 in midfield plus Boyler and Lewis, the future looks good, certainly for the rest of this season.

McLaren and Kamberi look like a front two rather than two boys who play up front.
