nvager 498 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Had to make way for Fleck. Wattie would have had a heart attack if both played and Miller had to be dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,289 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Not even on the bench, anybody know why ? Aye, Walter Smith is in charge! Would have thought that he would at least have been on the bench. However, nice to see Aaron there....would have been even better if he'd come on though!

SuperRangers 2 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I was quite suprised by this to be honest Naismith did nothing wrong on Tuesday to warrant not starting on even being on the bench for that matter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenDavis 112 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Had to make way for Fleck. Wattie would have had a heart attack if both played and Miller had to be dropped. That's the harsh reality though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalrybear 0 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Naismith ran himself into the ground mid week and is just recovering from injury, he needs time. One minute Walt gets slated for bringing Fergie back too quickly, now he is at fault for not starting Naismith in two games in a week when he has been out for a long long time. Walt had other options off the bench today like Aaron so gave Stevie a rest. He may even of had a knock. Honestly I don't get some people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Naismith was our top player on Tuesday, its not a dig at Smith ( who said he would be involved today) i hope its just a rest required and not a flare up of the injury.

Walt had other options off the bench today like Aaron so gave Stevie a rest. He may even of had a knock. Honestly I don't get some people. It's just baffling why he wasn't even on the bench today. Smith's got this tendancy to give a player a game one week, then drop them from the squad for weeks! If Naismith is fit enough to play over an hour in a game, then surely he's ready to at least be on the bench! Smith's now deservedly beng praised for starting Fleck, lets hope he doesn't do what he's done so many times and leave him out all together....that's not progressing Naismith's recovery at all!

FUDGIE52 9 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 If Naismith was fit he should,ve been at least on the bench, while we are all glad to see Fleck getting a game and not b4 time, Naismith was one of our best players midweek. I wasnt at the game but listened to it on the radio, and going by the comentary it sound as if Miller was rank AGAIN, this is the man who needs dropping but Smith will not do that, and it wont be long b4 the fans let Smith know that, we didnt need Miller at Ibrox IMO hes not that good a player terrible 1st touch,doesnt score enough Novo,s a far better bet, and to be honest Naismith is a better player than the two of them..........its about time Wattie woke up to that.

Frankie 505 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Only injury would have kept him from today's squad. I'm sure it wasn't anything serious but after such a long time out we need to take care regarding his contribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza 21 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I would presume that it is just a fact of easing him in slowly. Pointless taking too many risks when we had more than ample cover with young Fleck and Aaron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringonthbarca 25 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 dont know but i'm not too bothered, playing 2 games in 4 days might be bit much. no point rushing him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog 11 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Steven Naismith's 22 years old now, so the "brilliant" U21 rule is actually keeping him out the team and in turn hurting Scottish players. Outwith injuries, that's also why Burke struggled to make the team even when fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
