I do agree though that he’s not the smartest of players or indeed creative but hes literally the only winger we have got which is another massive oversight by Pedro this summer when you consider he froze out Barrie McKay with no replacement in mind.

I also like his work ethic. You can’t fault his efforts and fair enough to him for that. But he doesn’t do enough, it’s ok crossing the ball right away, but how many times has he beaten a full back this season? I think he’s a player, but thinks he’s better than he is, IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t play him (a touchline winger) and Windass ( who’s better off the striker or through the middle) in a system that suits both. It’s one or the other for me.

But when we play a formation that requires wingers if Candeias is on one side there is literally no one other than Windass who can play on the other side, maybe Declan John but he is required at fullback. Again another massive failing of Pedro leaving our creativity reliant upon Josh bloody Windass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I mean. 4-4-2 suits Candeias and not Windass, whereas the diamond suits Windass and not Candeias. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true that's a clear indication that he can cross a ball. Not to mention, he has the highest number of assists in the SPFL. He has played nearly every minute of every game until last week so that stat is close to worthless. His crossing is terrible more often than not. However, he isn't the only one.

Gman36 3,455 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 There were a few good balls crossed into the box in the first half, but there was no one there to win the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camshy 812 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I know a lot of fans like him but I just dont see it. All I see is a guy with a poor football brain full of bad decisions. Has great assets like bursts of pace over the short distance and a good engine but overall the quality he provides is not good enough. I will of course still support him when he wears the shirt but not enough of a goal threat for me. When he is on the ball I never think something is going to happen.

Morelos scored a very impressive header earlier on in the season but has gone off the boil in recent weeks. Someone like Moult in there next to him would give our wide players something to hit and guys like Morelos and Pena would benefit from the knockdowns. I seen Declan John put in a couple of balls that were just begging to be put in the net. I know you said Shinnie was "light years" ahead but I don't agree. I really like this young fullback we now have and hope we sign him permanently in January. I like John he’s very young and i think he can improve but Shinnie is a better player. I prefer Shinnie in midfield anyway tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivybank 4,577 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Let's punt this shitebag in January, at it again last night constantly gave the ball away, shites out of tackles, gets rid of the ball as soon as he gets it in case he gets tackled, brings nothing to the team,constantly dives for f all,still can't beat a man, no wonder he's had so many clubs,they find him out after a few games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,624 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I think his crossing can be great and his contribution to goals has been decent this season. Last night he was utter gash. Probably too cold and rough / tumble for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been one of our best players this season and sits top of the assist table for the entire league. Not to mention his tracking back has improved Tavernier’s game immensely. One really poor performance and you want him punted? This place is mental sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
