Frankie 8,562 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Mike Driggs once again offers up some (abbreviated - but still interesting) analysis of Rob Kiernan's performance last weekend: http://www.gersnet.co.uk/index.php/news-category/match-analysis/670-rob-kiernan-v-dundee-key-or-incompetent 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,607 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I really enjoy these stat-driven analyses. It's nice to read an objective interpretation of a players performance. I really rate Kiernan. My own analysis last week showed how much of a passing hub he is, having a lot of the ball and distributing well; he finds the forward players relatively often. However, his pure defensive frailties leave a lot to be desired, but no more so than the other defensive players; he is by no means the worst defender we have. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germinal 27 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Christ, that's the sort of headline I'd expect from The Record. Poor show! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,376 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 To me the headline relates to Gers fans who always have differing views on Kiernan not an attention seeking one trying to sell tabloids. Once again a good article. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Christ, that's the sort of headline I'd expect from The Record. Poor show! Don't mind conceding its a bit of an embellishment but I think Kiernan's stats and our recent vote where he was voted our least popular defender do show there's a debate worth having. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,376 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Still think he is superior to Wilson as he has more pace and IMO better positioning. It was embarrassing to see Wilson getting a 4-5 yard start on his opponent and being beaten to the ball. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 To say Kiernan is better than Wilson is indeed like saying "dumb is only slightly better than dumber". I've had to up my beta blocker dosage I receive from my GP this season! By January I could be taking tranquillisers to attend matches lol. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I think Wilson is far better 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
