CammyF 8,099 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I'd only give Butland, Barron, Diomande and Lawrence (2nd half) pass marks. Souttar was our best defender, but basically just the best of a bad bunch. Weak down both flanks, Cortes injured (again), Matando an enigma, Tav regressing alarmingly (as is the team) and Ridvan simply not good enough. So much work required and any new additions need to head and shoulders above what we currently have. Manager also needs to decide on a playing style and starting 11. He has spoken about rotation, we need stability not constant changes week in week out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say the exact same for Tav. I know I'm in minority with Ridvan, but I just don't see it with him. He is constantly injured and when he plays offers very little. Both full backs need replaced as a matter or urgency, but same could be said for most positions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just not fit enough yet, even after pre-season - which just goes to show how bad it was. It'll settle down when they get up to speed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes us until September or October to get up to speed, the league may already be lost. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just going to have to accept that this season will be a wage tank and building on next, we barely have the squad to fight for the league never mind 2 cups and europe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how long do we give the management staff to get the players fit? As professional athletes, fitness should be a given. If we are giving the manager and therefore the team a free pass until Sept / Oct are we writing off this season? Be as well as Celtic will have disappeared over the horizon and we'll have missed out on CL qualification. We all knew what was required in the close-season. We have been far too slow getting the squad we require. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,099 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 "We missed Lundstrum today". That comment isn't from a poster on a forum, or a faniat the game, it's from our manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matondo and Davies are both dreadful for the fee & wages. Tragic. In his defence they probably weren't his signings, Ross Wilson was partial to an EFL prospect and the Belgian market. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they werent his signings then whose signings were they? Ross Wilson wasnt a scout or a football man. The manager would have signed off on them 100%.
