nvager 498 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well will it be Whittaker at RB and Broadfoot at LB vs Aberdeen and DU? I just know that it will be very interesting to see if we can cope, because both give wingers far too much space to cross balls and both get caught up field. On the other hand Papac has not been too good recently either. Says a lot for our full back positions regarding depth and quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyboyblue 226 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 There has been alot of talk about Boggy leaving, but is it not true to say FIFA prevent a player playing for 3 different clubs in one season? Charlton,Rangers and sit on the bench till next season son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weejames 1 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Has Bo played a game for Charlton? No. He signed for us on 31st July. They played their first game of the season on 9th August. Information from SoccerBase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxblue 122 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Stupid, unnecessary foul by Papac imho even if the red card was a bit harsh. Weakens us for two tough games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis 277 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Papac has cost us a fair few goals this season and has been toiling A few games out may not necessarily be a bad thing for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imodium 411 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hopefully Steven Smith gets a bit of a lift from the sending off and get his head down in training (if he is not injured that is). This could be his chance to prove he still has something to offer to the club. You can't go and play a CB, who is just about comfortable playing at RB, at LB. One player missing out (a CB playing at LB!) proves how little depth we have in the positions that matter. The next 2 matches are absoloutly vital, must win games and if we come out 6 points better off the league is ours IMO. Just hope we can cope with the rejig in defence.

Youllneverwinaway 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Whittaker will play Left Back. A couple of his best performances for us have been at left back IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imodium 411 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 On seeing the highlights on Setanta a wee minute ago I think there is suffice evidence for an appeal. Looked like the ref sent him off to level up the fact he sent a Falkirk player off. Bit cynical but there was cover coming back and the position of the tackle on the field didn't merit a red card IMO. Ref looked shocking yesterday - 2 stone wall penalties turned down and he gave the weakest appeal a spot kick. No doubt he'll be in charge of a SPL game next week when he really should be demoted to the First Division for a few matches. Does beg the question though - with all the radio links and communication between the four officials - how can they continue to make big bloopers?

simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Another example of Walter Smith's very poor handling of transfers, a big squad but no balance so positions like left back have very poor cover. Whittaker is shite but sadly hes the best we've got to come in, Papac has had a bad run of form recently but i'd still rather have him in there than Bambi on Ice.

Goianegra 4,686 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 There was no way the card should have been red. He was still in his own half, and from where I was sitting, it looked although he wasn't even the last man. Appeal, lose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 It all depends on Whittaker's form and that is anyone's guess. let's hope he has a blinder! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart_RFC 41 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Whittaker is decent at LB, it seems to be his best position for us where as Papac has had a dreadful season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Stevie Smith is about a stone overweight and is regularly torn to pieces when he plays for the reserves. It would be nothing short of suicide to start him at Pittodrie. It has to be Whittaker, it's a no brainer. For some reason he seems to play better at left back than right back.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,078 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Stevie Smith is about a stone overweight and is regularly torn to pieces when he plays for the reserves. It would be nothing short of suicide to start him at Pittodrie. I'm dissaspointed with how Smith's career has panned out. While he still had plenty of flaws in his game, particularly defensively, he actually could have become a decent player to have around the sqaud.

TexasGers 96 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I thought Papac was decent enough yesterday, he made some good runs down the left hand side. A Broadfoot/Whittaker full back combo will be frightening to watch, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaD CoW 3 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm just scared that McCulloch or Adam will be played because of this. Like I said in another thread can McMillan not be recalled if there are too many problems? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
