DamienM855 413 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 24 assists im sureI'm struggling to find a source to give me the actual value, but I do remember it being somewhere about that number.Considering he only played around 17 games worth of minutes in the league, and that he was 17 at the time, that's a really impressive stat.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Shit game IMO, still managed 2 assists.There's time yet, I wonder how long Warburton will persist with Templeton though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertz Laces 35 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hope he sticks to doing similar stuff like the assist for the 6th goal - use his skill and pace beat the defender and a put decent ball into the box.Something that Templeton doesn't do at all. I'd swap Temps for Walsh in starting 11. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron1873 512 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 He picked out Halliday and Miller for the 4th and 6th, with two really well placed passes that the Hivs defence never saw coming. And this was during what some people are calling a "bad game" for him. He's good enough.haha the first ball was basically a square pass. 2nd one was good. Its wasn't a bad game he just does fuck and and his final ball 9 out of 10 times is shit. Sadly he is pish. Would be surprised if he warburton sticks with him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd swap Temps for Walsh in starting 11.I really want to see Temps succeed, but he seems to have lost his knack for beating a player. With Hearts, and in his first year and a bit for us, he could take on anyone he wanted and beat them. He wasn't exactly Messi, but you could count on him beating his man a good 60-odd% of the time.Now he stops, does a couple of step overs, and then either passes back or runs directly into the man in front of him.

TheKingObv 10,647 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 He's a good option off the bench once the game opens up and there's more space Don't think he'll ever be good enough to start, same goes for Temps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluedoo 2,652 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 While it wasnt Laudrup type stuff or enough for m o t m he certainly showed up well in the second half, his 2 goal assists apart I thought his attempted pick out of Clark in the box was a touch of skill. Had Clark cought that one with his toe and brought it down could easily been another goal. Personally I quite like the swagger he tries to show, harshly booked as well if you ask me, first tackle ffs.Goalkeeping slips apart I loved the way we played today, Tavernier, Waghorn and Haliday impressed me today. I am buzzing after that, great performance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,188 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I have been a fan of this kid for a good while now, I previously posted about how annoying it was seeing the previous management team loaning him out when he should have been learning with us. But perhaps McCoist done us and Barrie himself a favour. I wasnt too impressed with his 1st 30 mins but he will get better as he did in the 2nd Half. I certainly have more patience with him than Temps, but I will trust in our Management Team to get them both playing well, or they will drop them. No palsy walsy acts under Warburton and Weir I hope.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Seems to be lacking a bit of confidence. He has the pace to drive to the bye line or into the box but seemed a bit reluctant to do it. Then when he did he left an opposition player for dead and set up Miller to score.Hopefully more game time will see him improve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HG5 11,134 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Felt a bit disappointed in McKay's first half performance, like I did for the majority of the side, but after HT I thought he played really well. Played an important role two of the goals and unlike Templeton deserves time to show us what he's got. Played a nice pass into Halliday for his goal and showed a terrific turn of pace for our last goal, along with a teasing cross. I've got high hopes for him, even more so after that 45 minutes. I really believe Warburton can shape him into a dangerous player, whilst he's always one of the first players to get back and help out when there's a counter attack on. Completely agree.Most disappointing we've effectively lost 2 seasons from him - basically because the last lot either didn't know how to or couldn't be bothered to handle him.There will be others in this category, no doubt.Now, what's MW seeing, that the previous shower didn't/couldn't?

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Don't rate him tbh, think he's massively overrated on this forum especially.If the manager and coaching staff see something in him that warrants a place in the team then I'll trust them and hope he proves me wrong though.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Was working so only managed to see the 2nd half live. Him and Tav on the right looks suspect defensively. Not really Barrie's issue as MW clearly wants predominantly attacking players in those wide positions, so Tavernier will need to work on his defensive awareness imo. Played OK, but similar issues I saw from him before, he seems disinterested without the ball. But, I'm nitpicking. Was a good performance from everyone.

KBOO72 4,375 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I think today showed exactly what you get from young players, and young wingers in particular. He showed some glimpses of the undoubted talent he has, but also had some quiet spells and a few frustrating moments. I'd expect to see a fair amount of games like this this season. If the manager and coaching staff are willing to give him a place in the team then it's clear they see enough potential for him to do something exciting and productive for us in the final third to outweigh the inconsistency we are likely to see as he develops. I'd trust them on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Poor first half, good second half. Enough in him for me to be happy if he starts for the next wee while. Certainly a better option than Aird or Templeton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
