EMRFC 4,786 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Was just thinking about what we could do about our weakness which is our centre half positions and thought Wallace would be good at CB. Wallace at CB and Halliday being moved to LB with Rossiter or Barton taking his spot. I know that Wallace is class going forward but do you think this idea would be worth trying?

I know that Wallace is class going forward but do you think this idea would be worth trying? 10/10 for thinking out of the box.......but no. Wallace is a key part of the team on the wing. The answer is to get a better centre back in. Having not seen Hill play today it's difficult to say if he'll steady the ship or not but either way he's a short term solution. Its been quiet on the defensive front in terms of rumours of late, nothing really since mariappa and the onyewu trial. With any luck this week we'll see Dodoo and a centre back sign so no need to play more players out of position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,371 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 10/10 for looking like a fud but naw no thank you  how about we play Clint Hill at the back since, you know, that's where he plays? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Hill is very slow. Also, Halliday used to play left back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Completely stifle his natural game. Wallace is a decent defender but his real ability is a wing back so playing him in a static position would be ridiculous in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertz 78 918 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 We need to sign a commanding CB who is good in the air not to move LW into the middle, every time a high ball goes into our box we look vulnerable. Every team in the SPFL is going to try and pump high balls into the box against Rangers at set plays as they can see it's a real weakness and something that needs to be addressed.

Hill reads the game better IMO, with him at the back talking to either Rossiter or Barton in front of him I can't see his lack of pace being too much of a problem. Wallace bombing forward is pivotal to how we play. Halliday in midfield is bad enough, never mind at left back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Halliday used to play left back. Clint Hill might be slow but he makes up that with being able to head the ball and has a lot better positional than the other two. Reckon he will be a starter with another centreback because if we go into the season with Wilson and Kiernan we are going to lose so many goals.

EMRFC 4,786 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 The only reason I brought up this idea was because I'm not sure if we'll sign a centre half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHaw 513 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Not in a million years, he is far to valuable at wingback and links up and has a good on field understanding with McKay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMotor 2,208 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Never. Wallace is not strong in the air nor positionally. He can tackle well and has pace but that's why he's a full-back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,942 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 No chance should Wallace play CH but a Hill/Crooks option could be a possibility when fit. Something has to give because Wilson/Kiernan are actually getting worse. Big Rab has lost confidence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat 4,511 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 We as a club have played players out of position far too often in the past. Wallace is fine playing where he is at the moment. Â Perhaps in an emergency he could fill in at CB but let's hope it never comes to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Why tamper with a spot that isn't a problem? Putting Haliday at LB could open up new worries for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
