RockwellGers 14,710 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I see the big guy was on the bench on Sunday. I think it's unlikely he'll feature against Aberdeen but maybe he's got something to contribute still? I'm all for players who have been written off proving us wrong, it would be great if he could do that so we'd have another option and not just a bit of dead wood.

If he doesnt start questions need to be asked of Mr Gerrard. I think his effect is starting to wear off. IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manx-bear 25 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think if Sadiq hasn't taken the month to prepare himself. Since the public outing from Gerrard then he should be let go and his place should be given to Zak Rudden (recalled from Falkirk) who scored in a friendly and could play the role of Sadiq.

It would have been sooner had the ref not gifted us the game on Sunday, pressure has undoubtely been building because we couldn't win away from home domestically. A fluke win V Hamilton changes nothing imo. Dan Deacon and Davy Vandenbroucke 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means our players are failing at easier passes than the likes of Motherwell. And our manager was a midfielder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew our manager (and assistant) were both top midfielders in their day but that goes for nothing when entering management, christ look at Ally who was a top striker and useless at management (but did something Stevie hasn't managed by beating the beggars). This threatens to be Ally all over again, maybe worse. As for our pass completion rate, I'm surprised it's so high as it seems most passes go astray.

superallysbears 7,580 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Fuck sake we should be 4 points better off if we'd had a bit of luck at Aberdeen and motherwell, we've had two or three bad performances granted, win the next two and you'll all be getting carried away again, stevies doing fine imo.

Nah I am giving him a wee bit more time to beat celtic mate, but what I will say is that we will never ever beat them if he keeps setting them up like a bunch of timid bully victims every time we play them.

Mate, Candeias has been playing football professionaly for about 15 years and still hasn't beat a man, probably never done it as a youth either. I'd call him a charlatan but at least he can tackle sometimes. Davy Vandenbroucke 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
