Having to rely on Wilson for the season gives me the fear Dave, hes too slow and i dont think he is comfortable with our playing out from the back style.
Lets be honest about that HB had a couple of half chances over the two games that Paulsen had to deal with but our defence was never really in any trouble.
It was two clean sheets but in the context of the team we were playing were hopeless. Two clean sheets in the first two league games will be more praiseworthy.
Learning when to launch it long when there is no obvious pass to beat a high press is a good thing, if Ward had done it at parkhead last season we would have had another 3 points, and if Connelly had done it at Aberdeen, we would not have been dumped out of the Scottish cup.
At this stage last season we never knew how good we would be either, so its not a fair comparison, but that said having lost the engine room of the team, in Slattery, Watt and especially Just we are weaker.
Hibs will be a big test, and if we avoid defeat i will be happy.
I agree, but im cutting him some slack due to his limited game time, if we are starting to get more cross balls into the area as we saw last Thursday, then he might be the player we need, time will tell
Thats exactly what should have been done, the simplest, quickest an cheapest option to get the seats compliant.
But as i said there does not seem to have been much thought put into the whole process, the club knew since probably March that a european place was likely
I can only go on what i was told, but it seems blatantly obvious that nobody actually sat in one of them in situ or considered the dificulties of getting up and out of the way to let people get in and out of the rows which is the main issue with them, before the order was placed.
They are not fit for purpose, but as i said earlier they are there to stay until we move to a new stadium or the POD is rebuilt.
The club have dropped the ball with this fiasco and created a bigger issue which will not be resolved easily or quickly.
