Laudo 31 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 With all the talk of us needing a new central defender to partner Bougherra,could we already have the answer in Papac being moved into the middle with Smith playing Left back?Papac was originally a central defender at his previous club,and now with a few years experiance in the SPL,he might now be able to hack it in the middle!He's comfortable with the ball at his feet,can pass well, and pulled off a few important tackles last season(under-rated player IMO)....tho I do admit,he might have to do more work on his heading!!.....what you think guys??

papaguy51 912 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Papac is no longer a centre back. He's completely transformed into a left back. I personally don't think he's physical enough to be a CB in the SPL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby 41 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 he has to be an option. cant say i can picture him being much good, but thing is he is a CB originally as you said, so guess he has to be worth a shout if we need him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 761 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 We don't have an adequate left back to replace him. Smith isn't good enough anymore; he disappears out of games, hides, first touch is awful, tackling not so good etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 14 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 No. He looks very uncomfortable in that position and is far better at left back. The fact that McCulloch and Dailly and even Whittaker on one occasion were preferred to him in that position last season tells a story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie 205 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Keep Papac at left back. He was probably our most consistent performer last year along with Bougherra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffbear 4,101 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 keep papac at LB a can see broadfoot bein a CB this year Papac is left back now and Broadfoot is muck......never ever say Broadfoot at CB AGAIN or you'll be visited in the small hours..

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Agree, Papac is now a LB and has been since Walter came in, and for me hes done pretty well there and now he has competition from Stevie Smith. Also we have Davie Weir who can still play im sure as well the likes McCulloch and Broadfoot as well as some youth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiper 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I don't understand this. Papac was one of our more consistent performers at the beginining of the season and perhaps throughout the whole season, bar Boogie. He was praised for being "Solid". Now, he's not "solid" ?

Yeah but at LB he is solid CB is whole new ball game more pressure there!! Losing the ball on the half way line is better than on the 18 yard line!!

flecky1 4 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 cant header a ball, doesnt win 50/50's in the air and is not strong enough to be a centre half, so NO no chance, leave him at left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamteuchter 1 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I think he has been fantastic as a left back and has been improving constantly. I think we may see more goals from the big man this year too. I still think we will see Tonel at Ibrox soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
