skinnymate1690 566 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 In europe we have been solid at the back However in the league some of the goals we have lost have been really poor especially the one against hearts Don't know what the reason is, wheather its bougherra or weir .or a mix of both but things need to tighten up a bit imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 No worries at all in this league, yes we may lose some goals, but so do every team.In Europe, so far, we have been solid, although we will get our hardest test when the away tie with Valencia comes up. In this league, its fine, for now, there is not one team in this league who worries me, the standard is depressingly poor. We are the best of a bad bunch, miles in front of all the rest.Wouldnt mind a new left back and a new centre half if im being honest. Sasa has no competition and Weir looks like he could stop playing at any point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissyBoyyy 18 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 think its big weir with lack of pace and tired passes at times, but his understanding of the game is brilliant and probably stops the opposition from gettin goals with his brain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandfather_Huck 5 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Poor finishing from Kevin Kyle got us off the hook last week. Our defence was awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer 11 2,398 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Its all good saying we can freshen up in Jan but do we have the funds to ?Considering we can afford to spunk nearly 4 million on a striker when some would have u believe we were ready for administration suggests we should be able to freshen up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markybear 136 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It is concerning the amount of goals we've shipped so farcthis season. Fuck me the tims have a shocking defense and they've lost a lot less than we have. We need to tighten up at the back for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrfc1873 48 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Bougherra is a big part of what's wrong with it, he doesn't seem to interested in the league but when it comes to the champions league he's suddenly fired up. Weir get's a lot of the blame because of his age, which is pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broxi51 48 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 it is a prolem area, it dictated by the general lack of pace outwith boughie. In europe we cover this up by playing 5 at the back, in the spl we get by because the majority of teams are utter tosh.Look at miller, decent pace, not electric by any means. the vast majority of the time i've seen him play in europe or internationally, the opposing centrehalves have been just as quick or quicker whereas in the spl, at times he looks like a midget orange usain bolt.

Fed up seeing weir try a mid length ball and give it straight to the opposing midfielder and put us on the back foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, he's 40 now, so it's much easier just to blame him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main problem is that with his inclusion in the team, the team is set up to suit him predominetly even if is a detriment elsewhere to the team.

Bonkgers 3 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Defence has been poor but as long as we keep scoring more than conceding it's not currently an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef 436 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 boughie has had a shocker couple of games, i said before i get a liitle worried when he goes up-field of late, back to basics boughy, get yer fitness sorted then back to the heroics, early doors and we will end up best defence again no doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 i'm not saying weir is to blame, i don't think he has done much wrong defensively, his distribution is awful though. My main problem is that with his inclusion in the team, the team is set up to suit him predominetly even if is a detriment elsewhere to the team.Looking at our record since he joined how can we say we have been set up to our detriment anywhere. If the team is set up to accomidate Weir then it's working. Asx for losing his pace , he has been doing that for 3 1/2 years now but doesn't seem to be any slower to me....

Asx for losing his pace , he has been doing that for 3 1/2 years now but doesn't seem to be any slower to me.... as i said weir has done nothing wrong, the team is set up around him. I just prefer to see our team 20 yards up the pitch. I'm old fashioned in a way that i prefer a more attacking open game. I know this is niave and we would not get the same success, but football in general is not same spectacle as it used to be. More and more teams are going ultra cautious(the main reason the world cup in general was pish). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
