ascender 352 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I think Weir's problem rather than lack of pace is that because of the position he plays, there's nowhere to hide, so if he has a poor game (which is inevitable at various points through a season) its blindingly obvious. I was just thinking that whenever we seem to be playing too deep or criticising him for his lack of pace etc it never seems to last and within a game or two the defence is looking solid again. I've noticed a definite improvement since Alexander came in and Whittaker has had a run in the team at RB, the defence is looking more solid again. That said, it would be good to see a long-term replacement come in now and learn from Weir, phase him in next season maybe. I still think we've got a ready-made replacement in Webster if he's finally fit, which it would appear is the case at long last. I'm sure I read that Broadfoot is always one of the few who does extra training and I think he was doing stuff over last close season as well with a coach, not sure if he was one of ours or a guy that Kirk had hired. I don't think there's ever been any doubt over his commitment and attitude though, but still nice to hear about stuff like that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Re Broadfoot - he got his own personal trainer during the close season last year - he wanted to make sure he hit pre-season running, so to speak. If only others had his work ethic.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
