limeburner 0 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Defensively we are absolutely appalling and this is now a critical concern about Warburton. We would get torn to shreds in Europe against anyone. We are gonna get torn to shreds in Scotland if things dont change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Even if we do play well going forward, we're always going to drop points with a defence as poor as this. Football is a balanced sport; I feel like we've gone from one extreme to another. Agreed. We need a proper CB in there, someone who will run through a brick wall but also knows how to be positionally astute. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 our movement off the ball is not what it should be. Hamilton pressing high is something we need to get to grips with. The fact they are pressing high should make it easier to get in behind, IF the tempo and speed of passing is quicker 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I'm not sure why you keep banging on about Europe SBS. It's irrelevant right now. But the defense is howling. Today will hopefully convince the Club to open the checkbook for a quality CB. We should be competing in Europe in less than a year so I'd hardly say it's irrelevant. The club should be building a side for the years ahead, yet over a year into Warburton's tenure we can't even form an adequate defence against a side as poor as Hamilton. I also like to use Europe to measure our quality since the Scottish leagues are so bereft of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Defence poor as usual and for all our possesion we make very few chances. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,607 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Brilliant positioning from Forrester: in the half-space so our back-two and Barton can play it through Forrrester, moving the ball forward with a purpose. The cross with sublime! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 The tempo appears to have been upped second half and they really need to go at it now. We must get 3 points. Accies will time waste. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like to use Europe to measure our quality since the Scottish leagues are so bereft of it. If argue that a competition that we won't be playing in this year, and the fact that there are 2 transfer windows before we play in it (assuming we do actually make Europe) makes it irrelevant. Not sure how a competition we aren't entered into is relevant at least a a year before we compete in it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
