alanmidd 0 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Walter carries the can for this one for me. One up front at home is not an option against a side like Hibs, Especially when that one is Kris Boyd. There was an interview in todays newspaper where Smith indicates he sees Kris Boyd as a player who needs to play with a partner. This statement makes the decision to play him up front alone all the more baffling. Boydy has been tried in this role time and time again and it doesn't work. Smith should have changed it long before we went one down. His loyalty to Steven Whittaker is also baffling. The guy offers nothing going forward and simply doesn't know how to play in midfield. Its time for a change out there. Maybe its time for Burke or Novo to be given another chance. Charlie Adam was another not at the races today. Guy looked well off the pace. Beasley should have been in there for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 debeadsley was injured today. But whittaker again ran around like a headless chicken and portrayed the skills of a 5 year old with a blindfold on. If hes not giving the ball away hes getting caught in posession. heard somone shout shittaker today, a name that could stick. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmidd 0 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 didn't realise Beasley was injured. Whittaker needs a break before his confidence is completly shot 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I don't want to question Walters managerial ability at this moment but even at the amateur level that i have played and coached it is known to play 4-5-1\4-3-3 you need a striker who can hold a ball up and midfield players who can break at speed. Walter even said that himself during the week. Why the hell did he then play a slow player as striker who can't hold on to a ball? Why did he play two wide men who are just as slow and also lack in technical ability as attacking players? I hope it is not to say see i was right to leave Hemdani out and Hemdani is made the scapegoat for this result. Walter you showed atrocious managerial skills today and against Hearts, I hope it was two bad day's at the office because these are real schoolboy level faults in my eyes. Why did it take so long to change things? The radio commentators were saying after 20 minutes that the team shape was wrong we had to change things. I will agree with Walter on one thing that we have three players on the bench every week that have no chance of playing is a joke and helping no one 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Whittaker, Boyd and Adam are schoolboy players. Maybe its the drink talking but when these players are in the team shouldnt we actually expect shite results??

pete 2,499 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Fergie had an off day as well but the reason for that was that the material man strangely used persil instead of Ariel. You can't get a good material man any where these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyk 158 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 All the hard work done in midweek was undone by the result, performance and tactics yesterday. i would rather have won in lyon than yesterday if i had to pick. we can make up ground over the season but in the CL it's much harder IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you quite happy to see another trophyless season too then? And seeing Stephen Mcmanus lifting the SPL trophy. As for making up ground - we've lost five points in the space of two weeks. We can't afford many more 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrideAndPassion 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 We paid good money for Whittaker and Naismith, players we didn't really need (i would have left Naismith for another season) but couldn't bankroll a proper bid for Brown? I'm looking in Mr Murray's direction (once again!) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
