I see hibz beat Swiss side Lucern 3-1 tonight at Easter road in the qualifiers. Lucern finished 4th in the Swiss league last season, 8 points behind Servette who were 2nd. Puts our result last night into perspective 

How does it? Hibs have played two more competitive games than us. I'm sure if we were playing the same game V Servette in 2/3 weeks we would run all over them as we should have last night. 4 or 5 goals would not have flattered us last night.

I'd love to see us play with wingers. 

 

We'd need a new manager to do that, though - which I'd similarly love to see.   

I don't necessarily mean play with a winger from the start; thinking more in the later stages to turn defences as an impact sub. Only Wright offers that - and he is too much headless-chicken-like.

Surely you mean two ?

I think Pooh meant 2-2 would have been awful; so it would in the circumstances.

Wright's not a winger. 

 

What you mean is someone that can dribble and beat a man. 

 

I do agree that's a skill we need more of, though.

How terribly old fashioned.

 

If there's a man in front of you, pass it sideways or backwards.  Modern Football Rule No.1.

Fixed that for you.

kent got pelters for taking men on and losing the ball. 

 

i guess the answer is just never lose the ball but also take men on and not pass.

Quite right.  His main job was to create and score goals, not to give the ball away.

yeah he should have done that everytime he got the ball.
