BFerguson6 121 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I know those on here think McCoist ruins players , but this boy is a passenger we can't afford , he was atrocious today but worryingly he can have no excuses , just came out pre season so should be fit as anything and be confident as hell but he just constantly looks terrified when someone passes to him and has the touch of bambi on ice I am starting to think he trains without a ball all week as he looks like a petrified child when one comes near him .I'd accept any fee for him now.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He's a confidence player. Support, encouragment and a run of games will see him come good.He's also one of those players with the unteachable ability to change a game in seconds.

Boy has ability but no self-belief and I'm not sure if he'll get it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,630 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 When he's on, he's brilliant. When he's off, he's terrible. He doesn't have that in between level that you need to succeed at a big club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,464 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He's awful nearly every time he starts a game. He looked knackered after about 20mins then kept missing the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonRunt 1,030 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Like i said in the match thread, would have Aird in before Tempeton all day long.Templeton can do things with the ball Aird can't, but he never seems to have an end product.Aird drives at defenses, and can on occassion put in a good cross.

marka1979 76 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah agree some games hes bad then some hes good and can certainly change games but hopefully he stays injury free. He has been on the end of some heavy challenges in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFerguson6 121 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Think anyone had a good game today?Macleod was great , Wallace ditto , jig was actually not bad , Boyd and Clark both played well and on another day Boyd would have had a Hatrick Why templeton was left on for 70 mins is beyond me .

cumnockbear 2,446 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Had a stinker today to be honest but where was the encouragement from team mates or the manager to pick him up when he's down ? He's a class act on his day, a run of games should boost confidence and morale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
In walter we trust 228 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He was rank rotten , there is no excuse for such a woeful performance , will be lucky to get on the bench . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sendintank 35 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I do like Templeton,but he was poor today.I think he needs to be told he will get run of games ,hes obviously a confidence player,and probably suspects that the manager hasnt got total belief in him.He knows he will be yanked if he has a moderate game,others Black.Moshni for example play 90 mins no matter haow bad their performance gets.

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Temps couldn't do a thing correct today.Just feel for the guy Thu, there is a player in there but I reckon Injuries have done it to him.Don't know if he will make it needs to put his head down and work hard to get fit again, just doesn't look Fit to me.Shame.Hope he can turn it round.

Wearethepeople72 1,860 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thought he was poor today. He performs best when used as an impact player off the bench rather than a starter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
