Having competition for places means that you can shuffle the pack, he sees the players in training. Who's playing well and who's not he is also hampered with injuries, how many on here were crying out for Carroll to come back in, now he's shit and why are we playing him. How many wanted Ojala back and all we got at the start of this thread was how slow he was. Shaw was deemed to be too slow when he started. We as a support are never satisfied. How many have written of Efford and Tierney already.
Lot of rubbish on here after that match, first half we were as good as DUFC they scored with a wonder goal. Our winter business was rubbish how can you judge that at such an early stage, Effort has had 1 start looks direct and not out of his depth, Tierney has had a couple of games mainly as sub scored a great goal against STM. I think we have enough to survive this year if thats in the top six will depend on future results.
My only concern atm is signing players on longer terms i.e Woolery on 3 years if we see no improvement in them.
Watt is not Messi he is a journeyman striker who learned how to take advantage of Ref's at Celtic. We benefited from that now DUFC are lets move on.
Last comment from me someone commented on Solholm's performance when talking about Lamie and if his name was Scott he would be judged much harder. Well on todays performance he's no more than a championship defender. I think we might have been hoodwinked he should take the megaphone and shove it where the sun don't shine.
PS is it time to put Bevis up front yet
This half arsed press is useless. Managers tactics are lacking or team just not committing to what the manager wants. Lets see what he says after the match.
If you are are trying you track back, mark you men. Put it on the line. Its so easy to hide in this fixture and say well they are just too good for us . Its the basics were not doing. Supporters expect more in these fixtures
Lamie was fine at CB he got all his bad rep when he was forced to LB and failed miserably. But by the time he got back in the centre most on here had made up their mind that he's shit and it did not matter how he performed some just had it in for him. He's moving on now so good luck to him think it was arranged a while ago but not released AKA Watt debacle
I don't think it was as bad as many are making out here, we pressed well created changes on another day we take a chance and its a different game Hearts hit us with the quick break which with a high press is always a possibility. IMO we are missing Bevis. Thought Sol was looking a bit leggy today but were at the bare bones at CB.
Need to give Tierney some time started brightly but fell out the match.
Also they scored after Mcguire has to go off, Perhaps some will get off his back now
Don't agree, we have had plenty of full backs that well well received, Tate, Hammell, McKinnon, Boyd, Wark, McMillan. Plenty of others were rubbish, bur don't think they get any more stick than other poor players.
For me the front 3 have been poor, not sure were the Roberts love is coming from. we cant hold the ball up at all. Look like a front 3 that have never seen each other before
The footballing nomad moves on surprise surprise, i think we saw the best of him.
Feel for the fans that were conned by his celebrations, just remember football is a business very few players have a genuine love for the club like the fans do.
Always much more respect for the like of Alan Campbell, and Davie Turnbull
If true he should be moved on in January, strange I thought he would have understood the grass is not always greener. We move on Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Good effort from all the players today, i can accept a defeat with the workrate our players showed. Just needed a bit of luck today and were the winners. Will beat most teams playing like this.
