McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Not Tav’s biggest fan but today Jack turned out on autopilot and went to play a ball out right and Flanagan was standing with his finger up his arse a good 15 yards behind where Tav would normally be. We need to either adjust our tactics without him in the side, or give someone like Polster or Patterson licence to roam as high as Tav does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del 667 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Sell him and play Flanagan in his natural position they said, he is much better defensively and will stop us conceding daft goals...never mind the attacking side, they said, hes a defender, he should be defending first not out of position up the field, his passing and crossing are terrible anyway they said... Hes also never a captain, give it to Davis, Jack, McGregor or Goldson, they are all a better captain than him! They will drive us and get the players going more than Tav ever could they said... 2 weeks and 3 matches is what it took to prove all the nonsense being spouted for months wrong!

Did we not owe Stranrar at pumping at Ibrox, a team our colts beat comfortably... Did we not owe St Mirren a pumping at Ibrox? What about Hearts, did we not owe them a pumping after we dropped points they earlier in the season? But aye, we will have enough to beat Ross County and to pump Aberdeen, just because!

I understand about the attacking side of things but one thing Flanagan can't be accused of is being at fault for the goals, the lad wasn't even on the pitch.

So what was the problem in the 1-1 draw where they bullied us off the pitch again. Not having Tav wasn’t the problem it was the total midfield going missing and Kent and Aribo forgetting they have a job to do going back the way as well as attacking.

We got down the right in the second half made not one bit of difference to the overall game Is Tav a miss, yes because he is our best RB but if you think he was the difference yesterday then that’s rather worrying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem in that game was the same in this game, mentality. played shit against stranraer and st mirren and managed a win, likely thought they could do it again.

In relation to the Hearts game 100% he wasnt directly responsible for their goals in the way that others were but he got caught out a lot in the 45mins he did play, which is why with the booking, he couldnt be relied on to stay on the pitch and not get sent off!

Tooothless without him Toothless without him? The next time Tav becomes a tough guy will be the first. Apart from several players the rest shat the fucking bed and Tav would have made a difference? He would need to have bcome a whole midfield, a right winger and striker, as well as a RB. Away and have a lie doon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
