I do think our shooting has to improve ... we have so much of the ball and if we could get our shots in early and hit the target more often we would score bucketloads I wonder if other teams pack their defense against Hibs.

In the case of Chelsea and United there's a certain degree of necessity there in that they've struggled across the board and have much, much larger squads.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Shooting was awful today, that's not the managers fault but lack of concentration Waggys control when he was through was just abysmal A bit of long range shooting now and again would force the defends out and leave gaps Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to pick up the pace of our movement again and be hard to read Absolutely spot on. The style is good but we have to move the ball way quicker. Trust in the manager and the team chaps.

bluenoz 30,680 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Perhaps MW doesn't know his preferred 11 but neither do us fans because we all differ in who we think should start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zal is sure comfortable on the ball, just too comfortable and takes forever to pass, by which time everyone is closed down, which Killy used to good effect today. I also have a similar issue with McKay. Whilst he has better pace and undoubted talent, he actually slows the game down by not releasing the ball soon enough too often and FFS, improve on that final ball. When Wallace overlaps him, the better chances actually come from him rather than McKay. A word in the ear from the Gaffer and it should be sorted. As we slowed down in the final third, again spent to much time trying to batter our way through the centre of their defence. The type of possession game we play, we just need more 1, 2 touch type football to zip through defences and eliminate that problem. Wags is trying too hard again. Maybe trying to cover too much ground, but we know what he has in his locker, so no fears. Overall, IMO we played well and could easily have won by 2,3 or even 4. Hit the bar, hit the post, missed a couple. Just not our today and have no worries about a replay. BTW. Thought Kenny Miller was immense. He has settled well into the MW system. Thought his pace and movement and his passing was outstanding and made most of our best moves before he went off. Spot on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewhitevanman 1,619 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Mark warburton is the best thing that has happened to us. Think how our support would feel if the man walked away? We just aren't used to good fast attacking football but we should embrace it and go with it not just question the manager or team because of a poor result. We are on our way back and by the time next season comes we have had a year with him and he will then get in a few better players who can play his style to take us forward even more. I agree with Al bear it shouldn't have 5 pages but it actually shouldn't have started at all. We will be gutted when he goes that I'm sure of.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Preferred 11? Does any cnut listen to the manager, he has lslways stated it's a squad game, that he wants plyers able to play cross multiple positions and that he rotates the squad to keep players fresh. Preferred 11, Geez that's so yesterday or last season. Realise the op was taking the piss but others don't half post some shite. We are playing entertaining football and headed in the right direction, on and off he field. Onwards and upwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Two games against SPL opposition and we haven't won any, i think Warburtons the right man for the job but is not getting the financial backing he needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Could say we've only lost one,smile ;-). Warburtons the man for the job,we just need a few players,I look forward to the summer signings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it's fairy clear Warburton DOES have a preferred XI, Wilson and Kiernan and his preferred CB pairing, Halliday is his preferred CDM even though he's out of position, preffered front 3 of McKay, Waghorn and Miller. There's arguably one slot where there hasn't been a preffered starter (Law/Zelalem). However, before the window closed anyway, if all were fit out preferred XI was Foderingham Tavernier Wilson Kiernan Wallace Halliday Holt Law/Zelalem Mliier McKay Waghorn Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
