alexscottislegend 2,375 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 What happens when we win the ball back? Exactly. Thought that was his best game for us. He brings composure and rarely gives the ball away - think I saw him do it just once when he ran it over the line. He fits in with the footballing style we are trying to play. We don't need destroyers for most of the games we play. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) You can't just switch form on and off like a tap; if winning is a habit, so too is losing and we've played a strong team to try to get a victory so we don't get ring rusty. I think I've outlined perfectly valid reasons for us to be playing youngsters. Perhaps you might want to look at how big clubs across Europe play fixtures like this when there's nothing to play for. If we don't play youngsters now we never will. That's 4 games we've played since the Celtic match and we haven't picked up a single victory. What we're doing now isn't working and we're gaining nothing from playing a full strength side and risking injury.

The other issue is, given we've a small squad, we could have got key players injured in these four meaningless games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jaws 570 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 This defence which has been a bomb scare all season has started to get its just rewards since about the Falkirk game. Two new defenders, a keeper, a right back and a holding mid fielder are absolutely necessary for next season at a minimum. They had better get it sorted out in time for the Cup Final. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,819 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 We will need more strength on the ball than he's got in the top division. You're not wrong. I'd rather see us out-play an opponent than out-fight them, but there's certainly a case for a middle way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,266 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 We will need more strength on the ball than he's got in the top division. I think it's fair to say our manager and assistant will know this [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,422 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hopefully Zelalam's replacement can see a pass as well as tackle I'm hoping for an 'all rounder' to come in to the midfield next season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Sorry - who are you taking about here? Who was interviewed? Warburton. Sorry I did indeed not make that clear. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 .......So basically with all the new players we need next season, we are starting from scratch again? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
