But would risk other players; Papac - just back from a knee injury. Naismith - not long back from injury. Boyd - just back from surgery. Miller - hamstring trouble for 2+ years, and just back from injury... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flecky1 4 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Despite giving youth a chance, coz he had to, Walter will always pick experience over youth/skill/drive/hunger Papac in for Smith when Smith done nothing wrong Weir and Bougherra back together, Wilson dropping out Novo/Whittaker ahead of Fleck McCulloch ahead of Edu, sorry, McCulloch ahead of everyone He does not trust certain players enough and it has cost us in the past and will continue to cost us while he is manager. Theres not much we can do except talk about it, hes not going to change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres not much we can do except talk about it, hes not going to change. gonna try and break down your post a bit mate. Papac > smith right now so thats an easy desision wier/boogie have been outstanding together for most of the season and i agree with a) boogie walking bck into the team and b) wier retaining his place, there was no option but to drop wilson. big lee has been 100% solid for us this season....Edu has not novo scores goals and terrorises defences, whitty has scored over 8 goals this season - fleck hasn't It's not about trusting experience over youth, it's about experience being better than youth, we are in a tough title fight, i would want all the experience i could get out on the field. hope i made sense and didn't just rable on lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Smith, but each to their own. Weir has been struggling for well over a year, weve been getting away with it Big Lee imo is rotten, out of position and struggling, i can see past his 100% effort, theres not much more there. Edu is an athlete and a football player, he doesnt need to kick opposing players to get the ball off them, or foul them all the time, hes a natural central midfielder, Big Lee is not. Novo is not and never will be a wide midfielder, again we get away with it on occassion, not nearly enough though. Whittaker is really struggling, but i do like him Experience is not always better than youth imo, depends on the players involved, all that experience didnt count for anything when we drew 3 games on the trot earlier in the campaign, or when we were embarrassed in Europe, or even dropping points at home to a terrible Hearts side, or not bing able to beat Motherwell or Aberdeen away from home. Its not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

unionjackhat 0 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 He must be injured or he'd at least have been on the bench for the last 2 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hopefully we can get him back soon, because playing waste of shirts like Naismith, and Whittaker, is not working. I have never seen someone pull out/away from challenges as much as Naismith does, since the days of Nuno Capucho. Even Capucho could keep control of a ball, and stay on his feet at times.
