ian1964 10,720 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I thought the guy showed up well today,strong,pacey,and considering he is a CB I was impressed by his performance today, that is the first time I've seen him play,showed enough to me that he could easily step into the CB position if he was called on.Good debut for the guy and I'm looking forward to seeing him more often from now on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Agree he would be first pick for me next week. To be honest it is Davis who I have doubts about. I think I would drop him for Edu. Edu is far more mobile than Davis. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 816 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Saw bits of the game and he looked quite good. But what concerns me is WS is prepared to drop Ness who is on top form to play a centre half in midfield rather than give Weir a break when he has been struggling of late. Its WS accommodating players again. Weir could have been done with a break today considering the mass fixture pile up coming. It was a home SPL match which we strolled so an ideal opportunity to rest him. But its refreshing to know Bartley is vertisile which could be key over the next few months. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Playing across the back could be key, if injuries do occur in one of the back 4, seems more than capable which is refreshing. Always good to be versatile incase you are played out of position which can occur within our team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edu is far more mobile than Davis. Perhaps based on recent performances but certainly not based on today - Davis played very well today IMO. Shut down the space quickly, got beyond his own strikers, good passing, good vision and just generally played well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Ian, not only did Bartley look strong and pacey - he also showed very good positional sense and his distribution was excellent too - his pass to Naismith (I think) to set up Jelavic's 1st goal was perfectly weighted ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I understand the sentiment Gribz, I honestly cannot for the life of me understand how ANY of our fans can STILL be critical of Smith regarding today - a 6-0 win and we still arent happy with how the management of a game. Only Rangers fans, eh ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,579 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Agree he would be first pick for me next week. To be honest it is Davis who I have doubts about. I think I would drop him for Edu. Edu is far more mobile than Davis. Edu looked out of his depth in the last game against celtic. He was by far our worst player IMO. Bartley, based on yesterday's performance, looks a better bet at the moment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
