MasterD 7,446 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Read people last week say he needed a rest too.It's only just hit November and we've had time off with internationals. Wouldn't expect a player to be knackered at this stage of a season where there's not been an overflow of games.We have fitness coaches, doctors and whatever else that monitors players fitness and health. Surely if he was burnt out these guys would know and the player would be rested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Johansen 978 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Crackin player , rotten defender.Agreed, some of his defending today was very poor, even running at the defence he lost the ball more often than not!Possibly trying to hard, earlier in the season he was shooting on site, now it looks like he's trying to score a wonder goal every week.Hopefully he gets back his form soon, as you rightly say, he's a cracking player.

TylerDurden 21 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Has had a dip in form for the last few games, maybe giving aird a couple of games in the first team at right back would do no harm. Would possibly give tav the rest and kick up the arse he needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers4thennowforever 57 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Rather see him play midfield as his defending is suspect tbh.I says a while ago he was never a defender and got peltersfor it.in my opinion he's what was called a right half when I was a boy but he does fit into warburtons system in the position he's playing in.still think he's s cracking player but needs to get his mojo back.

ronniemca 479 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Certainly at fault (along with goalie for second goal)for letting the c/h rag doll him at the corner.but people need to remember he is not a superstar. He is a young guy trying to rebuild his career and if he sticks at it I'm sure MW and DW will turn him into a fine player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 He's knackered. Mentally as well as physically.Needs a week out of the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 He ran himself into the ground today and has been great since signing. Not his most productive day but I think some of the criticism is unwarranted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueoutthedome 87 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Never a defender ok going forward which wasn't today but he never back tracked today to help out the defence looked lazy l hope it's a one off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

evenstevens 914 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I think it's a sign of how far we've come that people think Tav was shit today. Only a worldly from oxley stopped him scoring. He was also solid on the ball and created going forward. He lost out a few times as well but actually suffered a wee bit by having a higher starting position and not joining in later with runs from deep. If Darren Mcgregor (POTY) had played like this last year at Easter Road we would be raving. That's how far we've come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sket 13,610 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Been like this for the last 3 or 4 games now,same with the majority of the squad. Not fair to single 1 man out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,734 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thought he was half and half today. He struggled to get past their left back at times but came into the game in the second half when we were on top. Was unlucky not to score too . Set pieces were piss poor. Needs to get back to basics Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Ranger 1,554 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Seemed tired and heavy legged in the 2nd half at times. Was in a great position on his shot on goal and keeper made a great save. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,924 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 He did set some really high standards by his performances when he first burst on to the scene, if that was his norm no way would have he been bouncing around loan spells in the English lower divisions, he would have been a first team player in a middle EPL side. What we are seeing now might be closer to his true long term form. Ive got a small building company and when new guys come in they start with a bang having me wonder why they were not working, a few months down the line they miss Mondays, leave early on a Friday take other random days off and their work rate and quality generally drops, maybe the same applies to footballers.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 He's never a RB, as for folk saying he's knackered get a grip we only played 4 games in October and they had a week off FFS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly think they started the season like a steam train and thought this is easy took the foot off the gas and are having trouble getting into top gear again.

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We play a high intensity game, and his position is the most demanding of them all constantly sprinting up and down the pitch. I can understand the tired comments. I think he'd benefit a couple of games off just to reboot himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
