How Did Templeton Play On Saturday?


Recommended Posts

Didn't make the game but was wondering how Temps got on after getting a start? He's not been living up to his true potential in recent times but there is no doubt the guy is a very talented player on his day. Did he play well and will we see him get back to his best under McCall?

Saw a different game clearly. He was poor. Decent passes to him ran out of play. He continually took wrong option and ran into players rather than space. Some good balls into box but some howlers too.

Dont think he gave up or shied away from looking for ball. Just think it really didn't happen for him.

Imo he was our worst performer out of our starting 11 after Moshni.

Agreed , he was terrible. Struggles to make even the simplest of passes and constantly runs in to trouble. The sooner Walsh is back the better.

I agree 100% with this he had a few decent moments in a poor game overall but it should be the other way round few poor moments in a decent game. Sadly not would keep him in the team though get some confidence maybe help him.

Disagree with the previous posts.

I thought he did well. First half was up and down. Some frustrating moments with lack of concentration, but some half decent passes too. Second half was mostly up.

Don't forget he set up pretty great chances for Miller and Clark that they contrived to miss and he was involved in the first goal with a decent wee pass to Wallace.

He had a some other good moments in the second half too.

I thought he was ok, very hot and cold but what do you expect from a guy who has barely kicked a ball for months. he needs a run in the team and if we are going to play a 4-4-2 I would play him and walsh on the wings over shiels. I think shiels is more suited to a middle 3 than out wide.

I can't understand how people on here say he was terrible. Thought he worked well with Wallace.

If our strikers had done something with the crosses both of them put over we would have been 8 up.

Should defo start against Hearts.

He was good, all he needs to do is stop cutting inside so much, and keep running when Wallace has the ball. What was annoying to me was the fact he kept stopping just in front of Wallace when Wallace had the ball, instead of running up the line to give him the option. Their right back was completely fucked and wouldn't have caught him at all

I'm beginning to think he's a player who lacks confidence easily; he is not short of ability. Maybe he needs a manager to believe in him, and draw the best out of his play. He wouldn't be first winger to need coaxing into playing consistently good.

Said on another thread his confidence was destroyed by the previous regime, he does not even look relaxed on the ball which you can contrast with some older video clips.

If McCall can rebuild his confidence he may really show what he is capable of.

Would like to see him and Haris in the same team, both can be game changers.
