Amac9 2,060 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Can someone please tell Walter Smith this! Players should get picked on how they are performing week in week out. So why are Steven Whittaker and Lee McCulloch on the team sheet every single week after turning in awful performances on a regular basis. Does Walter really think these 2 players are on form, playing well and deserving of their place in the first team? If so then I am really worried! The same goes for a numer of other players. If you are playing bad then you should be dropped, not left to turn in amateur league performances! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 thats obviously alot of shite, he wouldnt have dropped wilson otherwise. Are you saying Wilson deserved to be dropped? I think it was sarcasm, about a player who was performing got dropped. It's Weir Walter should have dropped for Bougherra not Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 941 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Form definitely doesn't come into it. Transfer fee, age and favouritism are all considered before form, the examples of this are countless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 941 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I would imagine smith is waiiting for his central midfielders to be fit before he drops anyone...... I'd agree with you on this one. People are moaning about McCulloch and Thomson - hell I'm one - but who else does he have with Mendes and Edu out? But Wilson shouldn't have been dropped. He was playing well. How Smith can justify dropping Wilson but keeping faith with Whittaker is just amazing. I'd actually put Bougherra in at RB for Whitty, as much for our sake as his because the lad is awfully low on confidence. Fleck started playing well centrally a few weeks back, yet was dropped for three weeks there for no reason - it's that sorta thing that irks me especially GCL.

I have a yes and no agreement, McMillan was brought into midfield against Dundee and played well, to me he should get a chance at either right back instead of Whittaker, or midfield instead of McCulloch, and I really think Weir should be dropped for a few games and give him a rest, what's wrong with playing a back four of McMillan, Bougherra, Wilson and Papac, at least they will play further up the field and will give who ever is in midfield a better chance at supporting our forwards.

I haven't seen enough of ness to judge if he is good enough or not Wouldn't think there would be much of a problem having Fleck venture forward while Thomson stays back.
