DEWELL Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Read in today's Daily Rancid about how Marios Krimpl is hoping to win a longer deal to stay with us now he;s fit. Surely he'll be given his chance on monday night alongside a hopefully fit Steven Craigan and with Quinn {whose been pants this season} suspended why not play Bible Bob at right back and move Mark Reynolds to left midfield. I think that would give us more dig in defensive areas which we've been lacking in recent games ie Hibs and Aberdeen. What do you all think?

Dosser30 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Boab Malcolm is mince at right back. He should never play there again. Give young Saunders a chance. Can't be any worse than Quinn has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Looking forward to seeing Klimpl in action. If he can get match fit (and stay fit), he's got a decent pedigree and hopefully make a difference at the back. My only concern is that his English is good enough improve our communication at the back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba's Turd Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 My only concern is that his English is good enough improve our communication at the back... Bob Malcolm manages ok, besides, he's had plenty of time to learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Given the chance, I think Klimpl could well prove to be a very good defender for us. We'll know more after a run in the team, and I think we'll extend the deal until May at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell Football Club Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 If need be deploy Reynolds in midfield. With Reynolds and Lasley sitting in front of our defence we could actually get a few cleansheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerse Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Home Debut tonight. What did we think? For me he seems a physical presence that we are after. A bit erratic that on a good day gould lead to him being a flamboyant cult hero but more than likely will lead to him being a bombscare. Anyone?

COB Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Done some things well and in some other situations he was a humpty!!! needs a few more games but could be a presence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Football Club Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 An improvement on Craigan. I would like to see a big switch around at the back. Just to give Saunders a run in the team. He looks like he could be a latest product of the youth sytem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I slated him in another post, but on reflection did some things ok, but others really badly. Ok as a squad player but nothing to get excited about. We need a Shaun Teale!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Had a superb shot unfortunately blocked in the second half. I thought he was one of the rare plus points tonight. Give him time to get match fit, remembering he's only just back from a fair time off injured (which prior to he hadn't played much). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 An improvement on Craigan. I would seriously disagree with that.. Klimpl was alright, but his tackling was wild, he mishit a fair few kicks of the ball and his positioning was poor. His distribution may be better than Craigan's, but I'd say Craggs is by far the better of the two players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Saunders looks a prospect, and certainly better than Quinn IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewK Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I thought he looked pretty good, given that he's probably not exactly match fit Anyway, I'd give him a contract just for taking the piss out the boy with keepy uppys in front of th O'Donnell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I was impressed with him tonight, loved the way he was fighting for every ball, good control and passing shame Bob's ball got in the way of his shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His distribution may be better than Craigan's, but I'd say Craggs is by far the better of the two players. Put it this way, The guy kows his way about the park. Given match fitness his positioning will be back. Given that he is the kind of defender we've been crying out for we must seek to keep him here. Craggs is not good. Espescially when he should be sent off most games for knee capping fast attackers he can't catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I thought he fought for everything (sometimes literally) and wasn't scared to get in about it. No-nonsense "it's my ball, fuck you" type. We need that. Shows some promise and I'd like it if we got his loan extended to the end of the season (wouldn't want to buy him just yet, he may be a Jim O'Brien).

Optimus Prime Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 A bit rough and ready, but I'll tell you what he's no central defender. Full back perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East_Stand_Al Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Too eager to show what he can do instead showed more what he couldn't do , he was all over the park stick to your job mate lets see you defend well, thats all we want from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 One of the few players to show any enthusiasm tonight but didn't look any better than the defenders we already have. Frequently raced out of position, not strong in the air. Of course you can't judge a player on one performance but I didn't see anything tonight to suggest he'd make a significant difference for us. A right back? Maybe. A squad player? Maybe. A new rock in central defence? Can't see it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Made Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I actually thought he done quite well last night and should definitely get his loan extended. He may not be tall and able to win a lot of headers BUT he let their attackers know he was there on more than ne occasion. He knows when to hoof the ball out of defence and when to play it out. He also showed that he can pick a pass as well. His ball juggling is also good and actually provided at least a bit of entertainment last night, however his overhead kicks are a bit dubious I think him and Craggs might make a decent pairing.

Guest JohnnyDefault Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Can't believe some of the comments here - I thought he looked a really accomplished player - one of the few highlights. very promising indeed. Along with an on for Reynolds or another decent central defender -we'd be taking a big step forward. I also thought he won more headers than he lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
