Copland bear 7,966 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think with Foster we have a half decent full back for this level, we were all down the left at times last season. With Wallace and his pace down the left and foster and his pace down the right I would like to think we will be hitting the bye line more. I want two fullbacks who are going to bomb up and down the park for 90 mins and overlap the templeton etc. Only time will tell but let's hope for a more flowing and exciting team this year. Let phase 2 begin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number6 301 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Faure is hopeless at full back and why Ally continues trying him there despite the evidence is at best baffling. Argyriou wouldn,t get a game for a junior side,Cole,when fit, is really a central defender like Hegarty. Mitchell had one good game at right back last season but struggled the next so we will have to rely on Foster who,I think,is and always has been a light weight defender.Is Cole a centre half? I've only ever seen him play left back, right back and central midfield (a position he looked comfortable in). Cole really is an enigma, to me he has the attributes to play in our team. If it's an attitude problem then that really is a shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig53 326 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'd play Argyriou, I'd say he was our best right back last season. He's not had a look in in pre-season by the looks of it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 McAusland isnt an RB.He looked comfortable at CB today. When he got dragged out towards the corner flag, he was getting skinned, so with that, I would agree with your assessment of him not being a RB. He did look good at CB, although he didn't have much to do. Will be interesting to see how he does when playing against better opposition.

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yea it was an XI ... no idea how each individual performed but the XI wasAlan Smith;Ryan Sinnamon, Chris Hegarty, Darren Cole, Kris Gibson (Craig Halkett 73mins);Barrie McKay (Jamie Burrow 60mins), Charlie Telfer, Andy Murdoch, Tom Walsh;Darren Ramsay (Danny Stoney 80mins); Callum Gallagher (Dylan Dykes 84mins)So Cole is fit? Would rather seen him play today rather than Faure. Heard nothing but good things about Telfer. CM but can play full back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that man is Perlata (sp) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 aye! but we can't afford a substitution after 6 minutes That was his first game wasn't it?Felt gutted for the boy.

I've only ever seen him play left back, right back and central midfield (a position he looked comfortable in). Cole really is an enigma, to me he has the attributes to play in our team. If it's an attitude problem then that really is a shame.When he first broke through, he was a RB. After that game against Bursaspor, Walter said he thought he had the attributes to be a good CB and that he was going to train him up in the youth team to play CB, but he has only ever played as a full back when he has played in the first team. He looked really good last season till he got injured. To me, he looks like a wing back. He has the pase to get up and down the flank and has a really accurate cross on him. Much better than Argyriou and Faure imo.Should be back up to Foster (if not ahead of him) for the RB position this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going by the line up they gave on TV.

Never heard of him playing centre half, not sure that would be best suited to him.Any time I saw him play in youth or under 19 level he played central defence.Walter started him in the first team at right back but then Walter tended to play central defenders at right back: Boli,McPherson,McLaren,Moore etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right with the caps comment,because he made his debut against Poland as a sub in the 90th minute of a WCQ (I still rib my Polish friends about that game ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's a youtube video going about with it on it. Unless you're talking about the away game?Aye, that game that he got subbed straight at the start was against the scum (that's why I said I felt sorry for him) I thought that was his first game? You might be correct though. Defo was the first time I seen him play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of him playing centre half, not sure that would be best suited to him.The very little game time I've seen him have, has all been at RB. He's strolled every game. I'm surprised we didn't go for Jordan McMillan this year. He's a better RB than Foster,.a Rangers die hard, and would be cheaper. I also think Foster plays better at LB.

I have a Polish mate who lives here in Australia who flew over for that game and he has never recovered from that result As for his first tem debut,I could be wrong about the cup game against St.Mirren,but it strikes a chord with me,so perhaps a fello bear could give us some info.The game against the scum was definitely his debut in the league Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine how gutted he must have been. It would probably have had me in tears being that young and getting a start against THEM and no being able to contribute anything at all and having to go off so early. I think he pulled up almost straight after KO, but they left him on to see if he could run it off, but we all know he never. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
