Even in his first spell Walter liked to play with at least 3 centre halves in the back 4 with maybe someone like Davie Robertson having permission to roam a bit. I wasnt having a go at them, more the fact that it was a tactic that worked, kept us more defensive off the ball etc Jamie0202 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

miracle 7,842 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I tell you what, you'd never call Dave McPherson "Sadie Baresi" to his face, the guys massive. He's another centre half who was shunted out to right back. Jimfanciesthedude and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
josmc 525 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 What I am looking/ hoping for on Monday is some indication that we can at least compete with these bastards. To be honest, they look miles ahead of us at the moment but that doesn’t mean we can’t win the game. Boot fuck out of them if necessary but be clever enough to keep 11 players on the park. I think the league is away regardless of the result, but I’d love us to put a marker down that we’re on the up. There’s still 2 cups to be won and if the board back the manager, I’m sure we can do it. Mon the famous, get right in about the smelly bastards. theredhandofNewcastle, VanVeenRangers and Drunk and disorderly. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no clear path at all. Until that changes, this dynamic of us winning the odd cup will remain. It’s pathetic.

Jelle1880 327 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Not confident about this at all. They're flying it seems and despite our wins under Beale there's been some glaring issues that they will likely expose even more so.
