Wotherspoon and Stevenson

[PeterboroHibee]

Im not a fan of Stevenson, decent back up but dont think hes come close to reaching the potential he had. He does seem quite limited in ability as someone mentioned, we are used to Murray tearing up the wing from LB whereas Stevenson didnt seem like he wanted to take players on.

Wotherspoon is fantastic though, another quality player from our youth setup, think he would be better in midfield as he has so much creativity but until we have a solid RB think he is a great option there.

Like others I'd like to see Wotherspoon playing further up the park, we need to sign a right back in Jan as this team IMO would be great;

The lad Wotherspoon is a class act and yesterday must have been one off his best games ever.

This might seem extremely harsh but I'm starting to think the more I see Stevenson it becomes more obvious that he's a really limited footballer.

When he was picking the ball up at left back he was either humping it up the pitch or looking to give it straight to Ian Murray, not once did he take a man on or play an adventurous pass. Compare that to Wotherspoons performance, in the 2nd half especially, and it's night and day between the two already. I still like Stevenson, he does the simple things well but I can't see him getting a starting place in this team when at full strength anytime soon.

The greatest compliment to Wotherspoon was Driver getting switched to the right wing with 15 minutes left.

I was at a different game to the one you seen I think. Stevenson more than once was drawing defenders, then laying it off and getting into space. We should have done loads better with the good cross he put into the back post to someone totally unmarked (Stokes maybe?) who didn't manage to put it back across goal. He was also the player who set up Riordans shot that Balogh saved at his near post.

He didn't have quite as good a game as Wotherspoon, but he was just behind him for my motm. Nothing flashy but thought he retained the ball pretty well and was very decent defensively. Their main threat is Driver and he done nothing against Wotherspoon. Then he switched wings and done nothing against Stevenson either. We should be crediting defenders who've done that.

Wotherspoon was brilliant. Yogi knew that wallace and Driver were there main threats and this is why he played Rankin in front of wothers to help him. Thought the tactics were clever! Regarding Stevenson I thought he was exellent and that is the kind of game were he is at his best,very tough tackler. Wotherspoon was my mom but special mention to Chris Hogg who was back to his best yesterday, him and murray were immense!

You can probably say that Darren Barr will be our new right back in either January or at the start of next season.. I must admit , providing everybody is fit and available , that team could give any body a game.. Having Zemmama in the middle behind the forward is where you should be playing...

I agree with all the comments re: Wothers but I have no idea what we're claiming Lewis brought to the side on Saturday.

He was one of the main reasons the ball was getting hoofed, he had absolutely no ideas to offer whatsoever.

Somebody termed Rankin 'ineffective' and I'd agree with that and label Lewis similarly. Nothing against either of them personally, I just don't happen to think that they are very good footballers nor are they right for what Yogi has in mind.

Yogi will want better, but he cant do it all at once. He's done wonders in such a short space of time, this is work in progress. He will make the next step in January, and again in the summer. The players he feels need replaced will be, and better ones will replace them. Keep the faith.

He doesn't get on the pitch often enough to be picked on each week.

Aye but fans on here get the 'picking on' in early and wait for the appearances to catch up
