The left back position was a problem today also by both guys How long does the big keeper get before he can expect some heat?

Popular Post Tiger Shaw 31,908 Posted July 27 Popular Post Share Posted July 27 Defensively as a unit we’re a fucking disgrace that’s on the manager, we see better organisation week in week out in the SPL with worse players than we have. We do need better players in but the buck stops with the manager he needs to get it fucking sorted pronto The Archer, Ivybank, Rangers_no1 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We desperately need an experienced playmaker & leader in his position, to complement the creativity of Dio. Roy Hobbs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legs have gone, head has gone, needs to go. Jefte looked suspect as well. But too early to be too critical. To be kind to Tav he wasn’t getting any help from Wright Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanMK 5,228 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 38 minutes ago, Laudrupsleftfoot said: I think I was keen on Clement out of the options we had. But I didn’t like the long ball poor on the eye approach early on and hoped it was just a necessity to win games until he had a pre-season under his belt and more time to implement his own ideas. If anything we’ve regressed and it’s even worse. I like him as a guy and how he carries himself but the concern about his approach and some of his decision making is growing stronger and stronger. Nonsense. You cannot tell me that we're worse off now than when he took over considering the absolute mess Beale left us in. The guy came in, steadied the ship, won a trophy and got us back into a title race before the wheels came off. Whether folk want to blame Clement for that or not is up to them, but I've never seen such a high degree of bed wetting during pre-season, especially considering we're exactly where we all wanted to be when Beale got sacked... seeing a lot of the high-earning mediocrity get punted (although clearly taking longer than we'd all like it to). Calm heads will need to prevail to give him time to fix the mess the squad has become, because if he can't, I fear it'll be a long, long time before we're back. barbear, maverick1200 and Blue Skies 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 15,074 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 We were a mess defensively at times. Losing 2 goals to cross balls was a sore one. Their penalty should never have stood btw. What was the ref thinking? On a positive note, we scored 4 goals and played at a high tempo. I would be happy with most of the team starting against Hearts apart from the defence. Just wish that Phil had set his team up earlier in pre-season. He had his hands tied to an extent with timing of signings and gave the youngsters a chance right enough. Onwards and upwards. Stating the obvious, but we have some season defining games coming up in succession. Get rid of Goldson, etc, and bring in some quality starters rapid style and we might just do it.

BlueKnight87 17,851 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 A lot better play going forward. Barron and Diomande will start next weekend. Positives in midfield. That defence but what a bombscare. We need 2 x first team ready CBs. We can't be relying on Souttar or Davies. Tav is absolutely done here. We'll need a replacement for him as well. gmcf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look back at the match thread when the team was announced : Dessers, Lawrence and Wright starting was x10 or whatever. Two of they three scored our four goals.
