Costly 17 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 As the title says, is it just me but i was expecting Smith to drop into left back & then for either 1 of Clark, Shiels or Gallagher to come on. Certainly not for Foster to go to LB & for a CH to play RB. I will never get my head round that decision! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theiconicman 2,977 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yes, inexplicable.Only if you think Smith is a good left back, or even decent......he has a left foot is about all I can say about him. Oh, he must practice freekicks out the backdoor lots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdriebluenose 351 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Rather than drop the natural left back, back in to his position, and bring on a midfielder to play in midfield, he would rather keep a left back at left mid, put a right back to left back, and put a centre back to right back. The tactical genius of Ally McCoist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddistonKnight 1,567 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 What he did with that substitution has been repeated a number of times this season. I just don't understand it - do you have no faith in the players at your disposal to play them in their "correct" positions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue No11 235 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Your time is up Ally. Yesterday was the beginning of the end for Ally. Once you lose the fans its all over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,207 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Your time is up Ally. Yesterday was the beginning of the end for Ally. Once you lose the fans its all over.Not that I have any inside source or anything but just watching the team it looks like he's lost the players too.A few weeks ago Nicky Law favourited a tweet from a fan criticising Ally's long ball tactics, he unfavourited it pretty quickly after though.

I am sure most of them aren't happy with the long ball pish in fact.I wish one of them would break ranks and tell it like it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre 1,663 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 CH?Centre Half, Faure, the guy we play at right back because we don't have another decent RB and we're playing a past it forward at CH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
