Ross-Gazza genius 1,890 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Was on twitter reading about our development squad and it seems like in most of these games Glenn Middleton is either creating the goals or scoring. Does anyone know how good this lad is and if he's close to a call up to the 1st team? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Would be worth giving him a run out in one the remaining games although not the scum game it would scar him for life. Ross-Gazza genius 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmeister1972 38 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Alot of the youth team seem to be doing well,you would think with the u20s coach in charge that there would actually seem a path to the first team. Ross-Gazza genius 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-Gazza genius 1,890 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 The fact that we've got soo many useless players, I'm surprised we haven't seen more on the bench at least. The game against Dundee he actually had the audacity to put o'halloran on the bench, why not a youth player?!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Would start 11 youth players v hearts. Let’s face it they couldn’t do any worse and at least they might actually put in some effort and show a bit of fight! BlueKnight87 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevemac 4,972 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 probably not going to play kids as hearts could realistically be our easiest chance of picking up 3 points in this run in. With Hivs and the sheep being so close to us, we cant take the risk and play youth. maybe one or two on the bench for the run in but cementing second is too important now. for financial and european reasons (simply getting to start european games much later, giving more time to rest and hopefully rebuild the team) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd rather have him fit and ready to play than not, would help move him on to another team. Re Middleton, he might be a decent player but where do we play him? Murphy is our best player and Candaies won't be dropped if he's fit. Maybe the Windass role? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Rossiter (and Holt for that matter) in the team ahead of the imposters that played centre midfield on Sunday. They may not be great players but they'd have given more than Halliday or Dorrans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not have done any worse, but they wouldn't have made us any better. Holt has been in plenty of Rangers sides against celtic where we haven't laid a glove on them and Rossiter is nothing special, he couldn't stand out against Progres of Luxembourg or any of the other 7 or 8 sides he's played against for us. The baffling thing is that even in an embarrasing defeat like that, you usually get one or two players who did themselves proud but literally no cunt did.

Not great, but at least he went up the tunnel swearing to himself instead of acting like a wee spoiled bastard i.e Halliday. I'm not saying it's one rule for Candaies and another for Halliday but it appears to me one was passionate, the other was a stroppy wean spitting a dummy out. Wouldn't be against Candaies getting dropped though. He's good on his day, but can be a passenger. A rest would do him good.

I can kind of see why Halliday would be annoyed at getting taken off with 4 mins left till HT (He shouldn't have been on the park in the 1st place though) but there's a time and place to vent your anger, not in front of live TV audience and 50k+ fans. The rest would do him good as I think it's the worst performance he's had this season as he's been pretty consistent for his 1st season in a new country. Both these incidents wouldn't have happened on Sunday if we'd had a Ian Ferguson, Barry Ferguson, Souness type captain. 3 minutes ago, ForeverAndEver said: He should be dropped for giving Tierney the easiest cross he's ever put in in his life. The whole team were awful, stood off them & gave them far too much space to play. Our under 10's would have shown more heart & aggression.

There are players getting a place on the bench and it's not merited. I've seen all I need to see of Moh, Herrera, Hodson and Halliday, they are shite and I'd rather see a prospect given his chance on the bench if they've earned it.

I'd much rather have someone like that on the bench, eager to make an impression than someone like Herrera, Halliday, O'Halloran who will come on and just be pure pish. Don't get me wrong, I've seen kids like Middleton come on for cameo's loads through the years and done fuck-all too but if that's the case then they've not got it and you move on. No point having him on our books and playing well if you are never going to give him some sort of chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross-Gazza genius 1,890 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Listening to Lewis mayo speak he said the biggest thing they've learned from playing the different style of teams is their pressing game.......maybe these lads could teach our 1st team that then.
