Al Jolson 3 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I fear for the big mans place in the team. I thought he was having a very good game last night but the fact that he was moved into left midfield to accommodate big Lee and then, eventually, subbed makes me think that Ally favours Wallace for that position. I hope I'm wrong as Sasa's been one of our most consistent performers over a number of years. Walllace is a very good player as well but I feel he should wait until Sasa's either suspended or injured before he gets back into that position on a regular basis.

Could a Mod be so kind as to move this to Bears Den? Ta.Agree do not think he has let us down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyDave 123 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I am not sure who will play at left back the most this season between Papac or Wallace but managers do usually give the benefit of the doubt to their own signings, especially if they cost a significant amount of our transfer budget.I think its great to have strength in depth at left back but it will be a shame for either to lose their place as neither have done badly.

GrangemouthRSC 832 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Can only be good for us to have 2 good left backs and both look as if they could play left mid if needed aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Wallace should start. He's alot a faster, better on the ball and, puts in some brilliant tackles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Sasa is outstanding, solid at the back, gets up the wings and has a great cross ball. just wish he would shoot a bit more often when he finds himself with the ball in the box.i don't read anything into last night, we were bossing the game in the second half, Sasa spent most of his time in Killies half with terrific runs and it seems perfectly right to me that we should use that opportunity to rest The Papac after his shift and get some of the others some game time. He also had a knock quite early on in the first half, that may have influenced the decision to sub him. Wallace needed brought in to get him back up to speed.but it should always be The Papac over Wallace, Wallace is the future, Papac is for now.

debear 603 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 No but in my opinion his defending is better too.Based on both their performances at left back this season, Papac is streets head.Wallace isn't so much better (I don't think he is at all but even if he was, for objectivity) that he should walk in ahead of him, Papac has played well and should keep his place.We have a settled defence that isn't losing goals, and there is no reason to change it.

Stu1993 101 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Wallace's tackle last night was outstanding. The one we where Lafferty ran all the way back, ended up knocking the ball to them for a 1 vs 1 then Wallace came form nowhere to slide the ball back to McGregor.

dan_ger 1,454 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Sasa is brilliant, defending and attacking. Think he has worked well with Wylde going down the wing to the byline and allowing Sasa to head towards the box and link up with Lafferty or Jela!It will give good options this season and give Wallace time to bed in, learn and improve. I think that Sasa will retire at the end of the season going by his comments on his head injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody 103 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Definitely one of the more difficult decisions Coisty will need to make regarding squad selection.

Amac9 2,060 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Give me Sasa Papac over Lee Wallace.I just hope we don't try Wallace at LB and Papac at LW like we did at St Johnstone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
