Scott-RFC 308 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Why wasn't Magic Man playing today? He was Miller making certain goals disappear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidorfc 6,665 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 i seen him play against hamilton reserves and he was shocking, he was always caught ball watching. i hope walter can see that he is not and never will be a CB. let some youngster play at cb in the reserves.

SuperRangers 2 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 He didn't do a lot wrong today but not a lot right either. He cleared things and won headers that the striker didn't contest for? Not that impressive. What was unimpressive was his needless foul, not winning headers, Dargo troubling him, giving dangerous balls to the midfield and him causing the goal to some extent. overly harsh Lee McCulloch could find the cure for cancer and Boab still wouldnt give him credit.

kplfishtank 4,656 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Injured How serious is his injury? And for how long will he be out? 1 game back for aberdeen game he was in store before game signing autographs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo 588 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I think everyone's been a bit harsh, From what I saw he was ok. I'd be really worried if he was up against a quality strikeforce but he seemed to do deal well with headers and made one or two good tackles. Still I think Bougherra's a far better centre back.

BCLoyal9 53 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Lee McCulloch , the Rangers centre half? The thought of Samaras bearing down on him at the Scumdome is pure bowel-release. Stop this idiocy at once Walter , and accept that LM simply doesn't merit a jersey! :angry2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Surely this would of been a better order to put everyone. I know McCulloch at Left Back is frankly terrifying, but at least 3/4 are in their correct position. Whittaker ---- Broadfoot ----- Weir ------ McCulloch McCulloch shouldn't of been in the defence at all! McMillan____Weir____Broadfoot____Whittaker or something like that.

Looking at that defence is like looking at a new kind of spider or something. It just doesn't create good vibes. Whittaker , Bougherra , Weir and Papac is our optimum back four in my view , given the current squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjcale27 46 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 unfortunately he is one of Smiths bum boys.....a bit like Fergie & his pet Fletcher at Man Utd......it looks like he is our 3rd choice centre-half which is a fucken disgrace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raff1690 25 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 It says it all about Walter and his views on youth when he is playing a forward at centre back, absolute shambles! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkfan1990 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 What worries me is that the fact that we did win today with him in defence will only encourage Walter to fuck about with stuff more . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,310 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I thought that this was a slap in the face for St Mirren. I mean, imagine playing a forward at CB to 'try him out', it's shocking. Especially when we have the likes of Dailly & Hemdani who have at least been tried there already. I've been quoted as saying I hope Dailly gets nowhere near the 1st team agian, but surely he must be a far better option than Lee. Somethings just not right. We spend £2.5m on Edu who can cover CB but he plays a striker!?!?!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,228 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Of the back 4 today I only rate 1 of them as good enough and he will soon be drawing his pension. Walter and his choice of team is frankly embarrassing and shows along with his acceptance of what was happening on the pitch after our second goal showed how weak a manager he is.

nvager 498 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 McCulloch was generally ok today because he was under no pressure for almost 75 minutes. When he was needed both him and Broadfoot went walkabout when St Mirren scored. Both were caught out of position as Miranda went in between them to score.

Polo 1,433 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I think St Mirren deserve a wee bit of credit for their goal. It was very well worked, and if anything I would've blamed Kirk. Will need to see the goal again, but I can't recall Big Lee doing anything wrong. If anything he was over-cautious for most of the match - passing it back to Shagger too often. I suspect quite a few people were watching him like a hawk, trying to pick up on the slightest thing he did wrong so they could jump on his back. I thought he looked comfortable and actually coped with Mehmet's physical presence very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 First half comfortable. Second half just showed he can't cope. If St Mirren played with a real pacey forward they would have got more joy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBlue 136 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I must admit that for most of the game McCulloch was a bit better than I expected in that he did win a few headers, some of them even with one of the St Mirren players near him. However the St Mirren attack was pretty woeful for most of the match. I'd hate to think how he would do against a better team. Against Celtic it doesn't bear thinking about - just how many chances do we want to give to Nakamura to have a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
