BrahimHemdani 1 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I see Clark came on for Daly at half-time? I'd have thought this would be an ideal game to see how they play together, and getting some valuable match time to help learn each others style of play - wasted opportunity. You might think so............ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 We fielded a strong side - we realistically should have won. to be fair we were without Wallace,Black, McLeod & Peralta. Three of them will be our midfield this season along with Law who played in the game. We don't have a big squad any longer & perhaps it showed today. If only 2 or 3 players drop out then we'll struggle. That said I would have thought the likes of Shiels & Templeton would have taken this opportunity today because if Ally goes 4-4-2 he may well decide to put 4 midfielders in with Daly and probably Clark up front. That would mean no starting place for Shiels & Templeton. I also think today would highlight the fact that there are still areas in the team needing strengthened. Will we ever sign a recognised RB ? I also think we lack a bit of pace up front particularly in the wide areas like Aluko gave us and I do get the impression Ally wants someone to partner Daly up front hence his pursuit of Kenny Miller. However not all doom & gloom. The team does look much improved from last season does it not? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The team does look much improved from last season does it not? Yes it does and surely Foster is a recognised RB, albeit he has spent a lot of time playing on the left, he is right footed is he not? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 His teams weren't playing in the 3rd and 4th division. Nor did they have steve simmonsen as back up. Walter spent a million a year at least on alexander. Super probably wants 100k for his. Im just pointing out the why not justifying it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll be proved wrong though 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 The result isn't a good one and suggests we still have a bit to do in terms of catching up on the SPL. It was a decent side we put out and Id have thought we would get a better result than that especially as Hibs are poor at the moment. You'd expect players to be trying to prove a point to the manager and give him something to think about in these games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll be proved wrong though Me neither, too prone to errors for me; but he's what we've got. I would have taken Alan Hutton in a heartbeat but it would have been about an 80% cut in wages for him and given his demands to Mallorca not on obviously. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought this would be an ideal game to see how they play together, and getting some valuable match time to help learn each others style of play - wasted opportunity. I would assume Ally sused this game to check out the one-up-front approach against tougher opposition works. They will, from now on, have plenty opportunity to check out a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 with Clark and Daly up front in League One. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
