siebsbarmyarmy Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Anyone know if cummins has improved? Any youths that could push for the team? Right now I feel we need pace at the back, in place of injured McManus. Obrien can tackle well so now pace is a necessity Doubt it.... Ayr fans slated him during his loan spell. A Few on P&B saying he was extremely poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Undoubtedly the defence is and has been dreadful this season - we have a goalkeeper on a par with Graeme Smith (great direct shot stopper but useless with crosses and high balls due to a lack of height and physical presence), no true right back, normal left back out with injury and becoming more injury prone as he gets older) and two suspect centre-backs..Having said that I think the major problem lies in our midfield - which offers precious little or no cover or protection to the defence and little or no creative support to the forwards. Keith Lasley is operating pretty much as a one man midfield and gets no support from the other three so-called midfielders. This is the main area that needs to be addressed by the new manager who must get a midfield four playing as a unit and offering stiffer cover to the defence and make us harder to breakdown and score against and if that means grinding out some boring draws then so be it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandluc Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 So many posts saying McManus is playing with an injury and has been for a while. Beggars the question why is he playing at all then? Even if it's a niggle, surely better to get treated and back to full fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he's not as uninterested and uncommitted as folk are making out? You can argue that it's maybe best to get treatment if it's hampering his performances of course, but if the manager is asking him to play through injury and agreeing then he deserves some credit for that at least....
