Time we stopped wrapping players in cotton wool. Different days mate, can't compare now to then. Players are wrapped up, they are protected. That's just the modern game. Seen a video this morning showing some of the tackles Souness done while playing, players these days haven't been on the end of a tackle like that!

Example bekng hyndman, Assist and 2 goals as a attacking mid 0 assists and 0 goals as a cdm or holding mid Hello, I am a first time poster here so forgive me a bit. I am actually a Bournemouth fan who signed up here ( and also follow follow ) to keep track of Emersons progress. Before ye all say " go away ya sassanach" or slightly similar words, I was born in the southern general and lived my first four years at Striven Gardens, North Kelvinside and Cairnhill Circus, Crookston before moving down south. My old man was a jaggies fan, but I can remember my mum singing follow follow to me, though I don't think she went as far as billy boys. Anyway enough about me, I just wanted to ask about the above stats: didn't Hyndmann get an assist last week for Waghorns goal to add to the one for Miller in the Motherwell game? Also he had a shot tipped onto the bar so, whilst I agree he didn't look as effective in the holding role, he still managed to have a positive effect. So good luck tomorrow, I will be watching on sky, hopefully you can pull back 3 points and then get the manager or DOF and coach situation sortede as soon as and close the gap on that other team next season.

Hyndman is a good player & a goal threat. He'll make chances but his threat is reduced in tighter games against better opposition. No need to present your credentials, noone else does.

Drunk and disorderly. 14,737 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'd get the 433 to fuck. We don't have the players for it and it leaves our centre backs open to the counter attack. Anyone who thinks you can't change a formation within a week is at it. Loads of teams change formation during a game. Takes seconds not weeks. I think we will win by one goal. My money is on Miller to score any time.

I cant help but think Murty would struggle to pick our best two strikers IF he tried any 2 up front (Dodoo Garner Miller Waghorn) instead of them playing wide or in a lone striker role like they have ber .
