scarkev 3,540 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Forms dipped and doesn't seem to be playing as well as when he first signed.My concern is how often has this happened over the last few years? They come to us sharp, in form and dominating in poorer sides and then seem to go backwards with us! Is it coaching, style of play, attitude??? Who was the last player we signed who significantly improved after joining us??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarkev 3,540 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Lee Wallace.Has he significantly improved??? The year before he signed for us before his injury he was flying and was seen as the first choice left back for Scotland.....even then If we were to say he has improved with us....he is clearly in the minority!

BlueAvenger 10,004 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 as others have posted, he started the season well but his form has dipped in last few weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Law for me is a good playmaker but as others are saying our midfield is unbalanced by players out of position, i would maybe go with a dimond with Black DM Law AM and Macleod, Aird/Temps or Mckay either side to pull off down the channels when we are attacking. Peralta offers little where he is and if we must play him the a more natural RB position could suit him better and Faure could get a chance at CB to see how him and Mohsni work together.

scarkev 3,540 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I think to get the best out of law we need to go to a 3 in midfield which would mean either going. 3-5-2 BellFaureMoshiniJigWallace (wb)LawBlackMacleodPerralta (wb)DalyClarkOr going with a 4-3-3BellWallaceMoshiniJigFosterBlackLawMacleodMcKay/airdDalyTempleton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I would put Peralta on the bench mateI would give him a chance at RB first as he mainly plays either there or DM for Honduras seems sad to write him off without him having had at least a couple of games in his best position.

(tu)Fair points and maybe worth a try at right back. I havent been that impressd with him so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent been that impressd with him so far.Me neither but i appreciate hes come from a different continent and been played out of position so far, he could still come good for us but keeping him in the RM position is not doing him any favours and if the fans turn on him he could struggle even more.

SE5 107 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Wallace was outstanding for Hearts, the best left back in Scotland even back then, that is why we signed him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The fact of the matter is our team consists of a centre back at right back, a striker at centre back, four central midfielders, two of which playing on the left and right. An absolute joke. Bit don't you dare say a bad word against McCoist bla bla bla. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I don't think he has fallen away at all. What is happening to Law happens to virtually every footballer during a season. A player will rarely have a great match in every part of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Best football player in team.When he's not at his best seems to me Black's not at his best either. Unfortunately cant see the likes of Crawford, and now Peralta, helping solve the problem of who can cover for either of those two at times.Would be nice to get another constructive confident midfielder in there.

CalvinC 1,414 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I like him, but he does blow hot and cold a bit too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Black and Law have both struggled to maintain their early season form.They looked to have a great partnership and balance early on, but it's sort of faded away in the past couple of months.

STEPPS BOY 73,154 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Law and Black have been shocking recently..Macleod should replace one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,933 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I like Law, he brings a bit of urgency to the midfield most of the time, something that was lacking last season.I also think Black is being played too deep, I remember him particularly with ICT as a player who could drive forward from midfield, today he was picking the ball up on halfway and pinging long diagonal passes, some of them came off and some didn't.
