ForeverBlue93 76 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 With all the new signings coming in, McGregor seems to have gone under the Radar, Used for half a hour against Burnley then never featured in the Hivs game. Big Rob looks a half decent player and competition is good for the squad but I feel like McGregor should have been one of the guys we built the team around?

The Godfather 75,155 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Can't really build a team around a 29 year old.Kiernan for me looks a better defender and younger too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMckee 3,456 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 hes a decent back up but with the style of play he doesn't fit it aswell as kiernan as dont think he is as comfortable on the ball he can tackle etc which is fine but would rather see us improve kiernan think he will have a lot more to offer.. and who the hell builds a team around a defender!?

theiconicman 3,087 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I don't think Kiernan looks particularly comfortable on the ball, especially under pressure. Wilson is far the better defender of the two. I think McGregor and Kiernan aren't too far apart in skill, the obvious advantage Kiernan has is youth.

I think Kiernan has been good, but not brilliant, he seems to always have his arms up all over the opposition, I like mcgregor because he can give any attacker 5 yards and catch them easily, he used to get caught under the ball but the last few months of last season he started to win everything in the air. I didn't say build a team around him, I said he should have been one of the ones, part of the spine at CB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Would still love to see McGregor at RB with Tav in front of him.But it's got to be Kiernan all day at CB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If Kiernan and Wilson turn out to be a good partnership then great but if you have to call on McGregor to do a job then I think he can do it.I think there are some supporters who slightly exaggerate this player of limited ability stuff.

now then forever 298 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Wilson and Kiernan first choice with McGregor as back up for cb/rb, exactly as MW is doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say build a team around him, I said he should have been one of the ones, part of the spine at CB.hmm he was defiantly my favorite player last season no doubt about it i totally agree he could still do a job for us there but i think MW would rather go with youth as easier to embed the new style of play with younger players i think mcgregor is now 29.. also has that stigma of last season attached to him i can see why he has been demoted to second string from the managers point of view and he haven't seen kiernan enough yet so the jury is still out on him time will tell i suppose... would rather have mcgregor there than zaliukas that's for sure!!

Wearethepeople72 1,858 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 McGregor will do as backup right now but let's be honest, he really wasn't that great last season. He was one of the best of a horrible bunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
