BEARGER 1,830 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 My ex boss would say we don't deal with assumptions we deal with facts. Assuming can be very dangerous. My ex boss would say "assumption is not good engineering practice" and "assume makes an ass of u and me". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Allan is a better player than Holt,Halliday,Law & Shiels. That's why we're trying to sign him Probably not halliday but the other 3 for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,764 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 On a sidenote, I would expect that Warburton would expect that Allan will give 100% for the club who pays his wages. Showing strength of character and all, something he will demand from his own players right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If he can't focus on the requirements of the job on the field while he is under external pressures then he is of no use to us. Warburton expects his squad to be totally committed to the job in hand, for the duration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the applicable standard then it rules out everybody who didn't arrive after June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more reason not to add to a squad which in your eyes, it would appear, are unacceptable. For myself, I would disagree with you. I thought that from yesterday's starting eleven there were three players who are perfectly acceptable for Warburton's needs; Wallace, Walsh and McKay. The jury is still out on Law.

Thing is I never said anybody was unacceptable did I? You're holding Scott Allan to one set of standards and an altogether different set for the incumbents. Anyone who thinks that Scott Allan isn't a quantum leap forward from Nicky "The Chicken" Law is deluding themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 All the above said, I suspect no-one on here knows how he actually performed in these last few games, do we? Why is that relevant? We know he is unhappy so he probably will be playing unconsciously under his normal level. Surely he can't be judged on the last few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
