Jasper Blues 500 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Dont get this 'Tav has been our best defender'. So his defending has been less shite than the others? Wow! We desperately need to tighten up at the back and everyone has been looking solely at the CBs. I think the fullbacks have been equally to blame. I like both Tav and Lee but they need to know they have to bring their A game more often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want us to tighten up at the back by playing Halliday in defence and dropping our best player this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Foderingham Tavernier, Kiernan, Hill, Wallace Rossiter Windass, Forrester O'Halloran, Garner, Waghorn. It won't be this, but I think this team would well win this game. The No.9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamthedanger 2,855 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The thought of Kiernan and Hill in defence is tragic but that's what it's most likely gonna be. Still can't believe we are at this position of not even having a semi decent CB pairing. Nobody from the youths we can promote? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuddy Zelda 64 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Play Barton at centre back - he likes to sit back, can play passes out of defence, can tackle, can lead, and has reasonable pace for this position. Rossiter as CM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suggestion of Hodson and Tavernier playing at both left and right back is food for thought. Senderos or Kiernan is like picking between a boot in the balls or a brick to your face. Why not? If Barca can drop Andres Iniesta, we can drop Wallace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,658 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 We don't have any defenders that can defend and I include Wallace in that also. We won't be defending on Saturday 5-0 our season starts then Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I honestly despair when I see people wanting Kiernan to play, has anyone actually watched him play? He's our biggest problem by a country fucking mile Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our biggest problem by a country fucking mile Just something in a list, the lack of energy in the midfield is a far more concerning area. Compare the midfield from Saturday to the one that played them in the semi cup. Kiernan was still playing, yet the game was completely different. We're going to concede, there's no arguing there. More often than not it'll be about damage control. However without a pacey midfield, our forwards don't get the ball and thus we don't get goals. More bad comes out of us having a poor Midfield because it means we'll have issues scoring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Kiernan being in possession is a major worry, he wasn't under any pressure and I lost count how many times he passed the ball straight to a Celtic player. He's not got what it takes and he needs to go, it doesn't matter who replaces him as they will do a slightly better job, he's nowhere near Rangers-class and never will be. Plus he's a fenian cunt into the bargain,he can away bounce about with his mate James McClean at Parkhead again Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 9,395 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 After last weeknd's debacle and the next two away games being very difficult, this game has a lot of pressure on players to respond and get some needed morale and form going to the sheep pricks and the maroon pricks. Some selection is limited e.g. CH's as I'm loathed to say Kiernan but let's face it he'll play. Arses need kicked and frighteners put down so I'm thinking..... (Not sure who's fit /not) Foderingham, Tavernier, Kiernan (sorry), Wilson (if fit) or Hill (ffs), Wallace, Barton, Windass, Forrester, Waghorn, Garner, MOH Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even passable as clearing the ball sometimes. Like I said with the midfield, Barton let it down by doing what Kiernan did and just passed the ball away so many times. McKay i'll say get's a free pass because he got bullied off it so much For me Kiernan is certainly behind Wilson at this point, heck I'd say even hill but he, Senderos and Kiernan could remake the 3 stooges together.

NixonRFC 1,339 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Said in another thread yesterday, back to basics, as many as last seasons team in as possible with 2/3 new players, then start integrating the other players in a bit at a time over the next 6 weeks Foderingham Tavernier Hill Wilson Wallace Barton Windass Halliday O'Halloran Waghorn Forrester team is balanced, has pace, guile, a genuine goal threat, energy in the middle of the park and experience at the back and you'd hope an understanding between Hill and the DCM Barton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he could be better with his head but he has other aspects of his game which fit the bill I think. Carry on struggling with a Kiernan, Wilson, Senderos and Hill combo if you think that's better tho!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
