tannerall 25,935 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 A game against a third division team in a diddy cup and mcculloch STILL starts! Why not give Murdoch a chance or McKay or Crawford or even better give Macleod a chance CM? So sick of mccoist....honestly will be flicking over when Chelsea game starts!Hope you did. I tend to be more interested in Rangers, cause that's the team I support through thick and thin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,665 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Played well last night and have a gave a solid more defensive platform for the more attack minded players to go and influence the game further up the park.I'd much rather have him in there than Black.

quinty 1,445 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Were Chelsea playing last night? Good result, albeit tempered against the standard and performance of the opposition. Nice to see Boyd on the hat trick trail again, and I thought the Captain played well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just shows he's much better further up the park either upfront or in the middle, no problem with McCulloch playing if he contributes, which he does from midfield. He only hinders from the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only hinders from the back.Agree.Would say at falkirk he was decent, last night he is was good.Should be treated same as any other player. Position is his to lose, play well stay CM, play poorly should be benched next game. Not shoehorned into another position at the expense of someone who doesn't merit being dropped.

euanRFC 119 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I thought jig had a great game in the middle of the park. Would happily see him play there over Black, but wouldn't like Lewis to lose out on his behalf! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 31,000 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 If he can continue last nights form on Sat, then I will be happy. I suppose that goes for the whole team. Only time will tell if last night was a turning point or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,699 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 We were all moaning about him being finished as a cm during our last premier league season now people want him to start there he is finished. Maybe could do us a turn up front but not anywhere else on a regular basis.In saying that he did play very well last night so hope he keeps it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe could do us a turn up front but not anywhere else on a regular basis.In saying that he did play very well last night so hope he keeps it upThe problem is that McCoist WILL start him in every game he's fit for.He's not good in midfield, but he is less detrimental to the team there than at CB. He's just so slow at CB that we play 20 yards deeper to protect him, isolating the strikers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell if last night was a turning point or not.Dead right, and if the management will only realise that when you put players into their correct (In form) positions, the results will be better to digest for the support, and maybe, as you say Bear, we will move on and pass that turning point.

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,699 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Fair point.Its true though take Boyds hat trick out and he was pish take young Lewis goals out and he was slightly below par for his standards Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds_Bear 8,166 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Its true though take Boyds hat trick out and he was pish take young Lewis goals out and he was slightly below par for his standardsI would say Macleods overall game was excellent last night. Jig's performance was pretty poor, but you're right to say his goals shouldn't be set to one side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I wasn't happy with him starting, but he never put a foot wrong tbh. Still don't want to see Macleod pushed out wide to accomodate him, so I want 4-3-3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,687 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 He's still worse than useless in there against decent opposition.
