KingKirk 26,466 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 The gaffer 2nd part of his presser is up now Doesn't want to leave the club despite having opportunities to do so. Feels a responsibility to rebuild us and will rebuild us. We had to make a change this summer because the club was heading in a bad way again and no Fan wants what happened 12 year ago.

As i said, he’s a lightning rod for those above him. He shouldn’t be having to tell fans this, Bennett should be. They’re a disgrace.

kris1984 1,566 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Just watched the presser. Pass the bleach, gaffer starting to sound like he’s burst. If he hadn’t signed a new contract I’d think he’s working his ticket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post STEPPS BOY 77,477 Posted August 16 Popular Post Share Posted August 16 If this is indeed a project then those who have been told to leave but are refusing then just send them to train with youths. If club have high hopes for Rice, Curtis and others then let’s see them instead of these wasters.

I mean if we're looking at writing off the season anyway, then why not play the players that want to be here, give them a chance. Its going to be hard to swallow no matter what happens, but I think most of us would be willing to swallow if there were at least some glimmer of hope for the future.

That's the second time in a week he's mentioned that. If there's something going on tell us before it gets out of hand. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Davies is one of them then Jettison him - Are King and Fraser good enough, probably not, but i’d rather see them than Davies. Dowell - Rice, Nsio, Mckinnon. Cantwell and Hagi can get fucked. Wright - whoever. it’s more likely we’ll end up subsidising their wages as they go out on loan to elsewhere.

I wouldn’t involve him but if no-one else comes in it’s something we should be considering, esp for parkhead. Protects Tav and Jefte, Sterling, Dio and Barron in middle and Dessers up top with Cerny near to him. MacBoyd and J-Maestro 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only worry is I don't think Tav has the engine to be an attacking presence on the right even with three at the back now. It's just whether there would be enough going forward although Souttar is going at breaking the lines with the ball at his feet too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t have players for 4-2-3-1 but sticks with it religiously. It might not work but surely trying it is worth a shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 21,613 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I'm hoping his persistence with the 4-2-3-1 formation is more due to the lack of options in the squad to be more flexible. A quick look at his time during Brugge would suggest he was pretty flexible with his tactics. Switching from 4-2-3-1, to 4-3-3 and even 3 at the back formations. I share the concerns about going to Parkhead with the 2 in the middle. If we do go with the 2, I'd hope it was Sterling and Barron in the middle. The 2 of them have the energy levels (if both fit) we need for going in with that tactic. J-Maestro and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that on Tuesday when he was getting skinned for pace. Maeda hasn’t started a game for them this season i don’t think but he’ll be straight in against Tav.
