Blue Nosed Babe 20,582 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hill and Wilson are our best central defence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I think there will be a huge collective groan if Hill and Wilson are not in the starting XI Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,428 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hill is nowhere near as bad as he is made out to be. For all this pace talk the guy hasn't been caught out once at the back. His problem is whoever is next to him, hes basically trying to do 2 CBs jobs at times. I actually think his experience and defensive skills will see us much more solid this weekend. Cellic hardly set the heather alight against us and I'm 100% sure Dembele gets nowhere near that header if Hill is marking him. I feel a bit more confident when other teams get set pieces now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,439 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I like him. If it wasn't for the Burnley game I think he'd be higher thought of by most. His lack of pace is a worry though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch it back Boyd turns Kiernan(10 years younger than him) and outpaces him which means Hill is dragged out of position and RUNS PAST Kiernan to try and make the challenge. Kiernan, regardless of the whipping boy etc etc is our main problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the need in it? How does he love him? Cause he plays him over Wilson all the time? He has played 2 or 3 more games than Wilson over the last 15 months. Cause he gave him an extension? Hardly showing he loves him, maybe he was just securing him incase we sold him etc and wanted to recoup some of the fee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see what Djoum from Hearts and Barton for Partick done that Niko didn't do with consummate ease to get the central midfield slots Dont read them, then don't get upset, though I am shocked the don't just put Teirney in every position Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtanian 252 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 To be fair Hill has done a job when called upon recently and I hate to knock the big man however he is far from the quality needed for us to win titles imo and if we get a half decent central half he would be the one to drop. Still hoping Senderos comes good but for now the jury's pretty much out on him until he gets more game time to see what he can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's blue he's white 717 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hill is much more reliable and actually better than Senderos. Big flip flop shouldn't get no where near the team again...He's shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lloyd72 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hill and Wilson have both improved massively, Wilson looks a bit quicker than last season too and is a changed man when playing as the RCB. Hill hasn't ut a foot wrong since the Killie game and looks to have sorted out our defence but cracks appear whenever Kiernan is in the side so I'd keep him as far away as possible.

smitzer007 198 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Listening to Hill's interviews and I think he was simply overwhelmed by the sheer size of Rangers. Has taken him a wee while to get his head around it but think he's beginning to enjoy himself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thought the emu/toy ferret comparison was a bit bizarre? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Rob Kiernan defending (or is it an emu playing with a toy ferret? Hard to say)... Where on earth did you find that???? Or, I know you got it off T'Internet - HOW did you find that? At least Rob didn't pick the ball up!

I'd 100 % start Senderos over Kiernan, if he starts then we're losing multiple goals guaranteed. He makes my head hurt just thinking about his positioning.

Smile 26,600 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Must add Clint Hill seems our best chance of a headed goal from a corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
