Has to be 4-4-2 going forward, three quality wingers in the squad and Kamberi looks a different man with McLaren up with him.
You can tell that when Milligan settles into the squad he'll be priceless.
Great win against a really good Kilmarnock side but how I wish I hadn't decided to take a 'peep' at this thread.
What a bunch of moaning, greeting faced bams. I genuinely despair at the amount of posters on here who look for nothing positive from a good victory.
I don't see what Whittaker done wrong today. At times he can look a wee bit slow to release the ball, but generally it's not wasted when he does. In saying that I think Milligan will offer more.
When did Milligan last start a game? Perhaps unrealistic to think he would last 90 mins today. Kamberi was rusty as hell, the ball was just pinging off him but the run out and goal will give him a lift.
MacLaren pepped up the team with a burst of energy and Agyepong was promising with some good runs.
Horgan was a box of tricks in the first half, although he lost his man for Killie’s first, then looked like his boots were on the wrong feet after the interval.
Mallan’s free kick was a beauty. His best so far? Still think he hasn’t quite found his best position though.
Hyndman just floated around on the periphery. If the kid was meant to be a replacement for Scotty Allan then that particular move appears to have backfired.
Ambrose was head and shoulders above everyone else on the park.
A good game? Was mediocre at best. Offers nothing. Far too lackadaisical and the majority of the time it's because he can't keep up with play. I dont blame him per se. But more Lennon for expecting too much of him in the role he plays. Hyndman was anonymous without making and obvious mistakes. Whittaker tried but just can't find consistency due to a lack of pace and poor decision making. There's a reason why after they 2 went off we started to play football through the middle and actually started winning second balls.
442 is the way to go for now.
My take is we literally just miss an SJM. Nobody wants to show for the ball, take it and drive... Hopefully we've got that in Milligan. How many minutes did we spend pissing about in our own half passing, getting to half way line and doing F all? With McGinn in the team, automically give him the ball and we move forward.
Whittaker was far from awful. People must watch a different game. Far far better than Hyndman who doesn’t get nearly the same level of criticism.
I'LL be amazed if hyndman is here beyond January
I'm going to say the same about Hyndman as other have said about Slivka. There looks like a class player in there somewhere but he just doesn't do enough.
Maybe in the course of time he'll be a good one, all is not lost.
Thread is only 12 pages long so we must have won the game. I wasn't able to watch it so I'm assuming that Whittaker has been judged to have been rank (or pish in the .net vernacular). What about the news guys Agyepong and Milligan? How were they?
Whilst you weren't necessarily directing your message at me, let's be honest, we got lucky today with a penalty that it seems more and more wasnt a pen. The defence has been leaking goals too easily in recent weeks and for me the midfield have to apportion some of the blame.
Stevenson was out of position and Horgan gave his man far too much space after a simple give and go.
Their second was a good finish but again we let players swan through midfield too easily and midfield pairing of
Whittaker and Hyndman isn't for me. I agree that Hyndman was probably the worst (perhaps the least effective) player on the park today and has yet to give me any reason to believe he's worth a start. Equally though I don't think Whittaker merits a start. I do feel that the crowd getting on his case has dented his confidence a bit but he needs a breather. Starting Whittaker for me just isn't the answer to our woes right now. Don't agree then fair enough. But I watched the same game as everyone else today. He may not have been the worst but more than that he's isn't capable of much more than what he offered today...
