    Ally is certainly liking players on the wings. Bedoya, Wylde, Kerkar, Ortiz, Naismith (thats his best position) and now Verhoek. Not to mention he played Whittaker and Wallace in those roles last night, or sorry attemped to play Whittaker.

    I'll be concerned while Whittaker, Edu and McCulloch are playing in the same team. McCoist shouldnt be afraid to drop any one of them, they should realise no player is bigger than the club and get a boot up the ass. Broadfoot, Hutton and Healy all should be in for them in the next game, allowing Naismith to RM and Davis in the centre.

    Gobsmacked waking up to this. Not just the result but the selection, tactics and lack of changes. If your going to play 3-5-2 then the midfield has to midfielders and wingers, not full backs. Was astounded when giving Whittaker a new contract was a priority. He will have another 4 terrible games then we might see 1 game where he plays well and everyone will think he is brilliant again. Ive never seen such a clueless player. Time and time agian its obvious Naismith isnt an out and out striker, he is much better creative on the right mid or the right side of a front 3. I cant believe Wylde wasnt brought on. We'll end up losing young talent like Ness and Hutton if donkeys like McCulloch and Edu are picked ahead of them. Not only that, they make things difficult for Davis as he has to do 3 times the work. Malmo are maybe a decent technically team but we all knew they were well into their season so we should have been playing friendlies in June is we were serious about CL qualifiers.

    Fully agree about RB with Juff's team. But in the centre Weir has to play next to Bougherra and Papac stays on the left. Wylde should start on the left wing but if Ortiz is dropped what will that do to his confidence? Would be tempted to play 4-3-3 tonight. :kb::mb::sp: :kh::sd::me: :sn::nj::gw:

    Half thought this also but wouldnt mind seeing Healy and Hemmings get more game time.

    Even if he wants to leave we cant accept it until we sign at least 2 defenders. Id rather force Bougherra to stay this season than have Broadfoot at the back. Also thought he was ok on Saturday, couple of good bursting runs. If he had better cover at the back when making these runs I get the feeling he'd do better, but he seems to reach the last 3rd and think he should pull out of the run as he has defensive duties to get back to.

    Davis was MOTM for me. He was everywhere and covered 2 or 3 players when they were out of position. McGregor deserves a mention, 3 good saves kept us in it. Naismith was better in 2nd half when he moved to the right. Papac was good in spells and Wylde looked good when he came on.

    Are we at St Johnstone next week or is it the Chelsea friendly.

    Im worried about the defence. Even if we do sign 2 centre halfs there is no guarantee they are going to work out. Id have confidence in Cuellar as he is proven. But its not just as centre half, Whittaker was awful on Saturday yet AM saw him as a key player. Id much have rather kept Richard Foster for RB. Every good performance by Broadfoot has always been at RB so he'd be my first pick there. Papac did well on saturday and Wallace should be good cover for him. In midfield I think we are ok in numbers if Ness and Hutton improve. Davis is the main man there and as I mentioned I would play Bougherra next to him as the holding player. Edu and McCulloch are concerning. Id say McCulloch would be more effective as a sub, he'd be reliable to come on and tightnen things up. So to answer the question its more about WHO we really need rather than WHERE we need. In a nutshell Cuellar, Bartley, Weiss and Miller are what is REALLY needed. If they signed today Id be extremely happy. But as it stands I cant see us getting any of those 4 now and we are probably going for the unknowns. I dont want us to end up with a huge squad of players who cant be effective. Ortiz, Kerker and Bedoya have all been signed up yet id have Naismith and Wylde as my wide men.

    Haha my gosh the SPL are away with it!. Doncaster probably knocked this up himself.

    Im a fan of 3-5-2 but wouldnt have full backs playing the wide roles in the 5. Wylde should be at LM hands down and Naismith was a different player when he moved out right against Hearts. Id stick Healy (until Lafferty gets back) up with Jelavic.
  12. Gribz
    Ortiz got on the ball a bit especially first half but as mentioned McGowan had him. Bit too early to judge him, he might need a few games to get used to SPL. He looks technically decent, id consider playing him a more free role rather than stuck out on the wing. Wylde should be first pick LM anyway.

    As good as the rest of your post is the bit in bold deserves "post of the week" allocade. I said the same in the match thread: Davis, Edu and McCulloch are 3 central midfielders so how does that fit into a 4-4-2? Davis is by far our best player so he is a cert, then its 1 more in with him. Ally seemed to be copying WS yesterday rather than trying his own game. Agree with the high ball...I was well pissed off with this. Get the ball on the deck and play to pace - thats our advantage!
  14. Gribz
    Do your job and nick them then! Right now id pay 10 quid for a scotch pie but not on a weekly basis! :smile:
  15. Gribz
    Dont go there. Highest paid player....very worrying!
  16. Gribz
    Ally hasnt freshened anything up and is playing these 'auto starters' for to accommodate them as what has happened in the past. Edu, McCulloch and Davis are 3 central midfielders so in a 4-4-2 that doesnt work. Davis is our best player (by far MOTM today) so should be centre, that means 1 from the other 2 miss out. Then put Wylde and Ortiz wide. Ortiz will be ruined before he starts if he is a right sided player. but Naismith in the 2nd half proved he should be first pick at RM. Next to Davis in the centre should be Hutton or Ness or bougherra if we get 2 new defenders. McCulloch was off the pace today and wont get much better this season. Edu is going to be 6 shite games 1 good game. Quite a bit of home work to be done for Ally tonight. I felt we missed Lafferty today.

    Ian Cocker is a twat. "And Rangers giving their titles rivals an advantage" - eh...Celtic havent even played yet and Hibs can easily get something off them tomorrow you tit!
  18. Gribz
    Great from Papac again, one two with naismith and his shot was a pass back! poor miss! Had a lot of time and should have berried it
  19. Gribz
    Wylde is quicker than McGowan, if have had him on from the start anyway. He is looking same as where he left of last season.
  20. Gribz
    20k a week Whittaker! Cant even hit a ball! Davis did great work on the right and lays it to him for the cross and he fluffs it. He is fast becoming our worst full back and that includes Gary Bollan.
  21. Gribz
    Ortiz off, Wylde on.
  22. Gribz
    Gone flat since the equaliser. Naismith proving he is a RM though. Much better there because he can run with it. Started the first 10 mins of 2nd half well and had a real go, it was chance after chance. We should be having a go more.
  23. Gribz
    1-1 Naismith..... Well done Papac on left, got a 2nd chance at cross and knocked it on the head of Naismith who glided it in. Come on.....
  24. Gribz
    Much better start. Broadfoot had a weak header. Davis shot brilliantly saved from keeper. Great move, Ortiz on left with thru ball, great dummy by Jelavic and Naismith ballooned the shot. ortiz good cross, Naismith heads over.
  25. Gribz
    He's addressed the lack of RM in the first half and moved Naismith to the right. Think that means 4-5-1 / 4-3-3
