    Tactically Inept

    United are massive in the middle of the park and we are midgets.

    Hibs game plan tonight was to play the ball through the middle of the park all night with nobody going wide, apart from Murray the odd time.

    Galbraith sitting on the bench.

    Tactically inept.

    I cannot for the life of me figure out why we haven't seen more of Galbraith. Not talking about starts either but just coming off the bench. Am I missing something?

    When Bamba played midfield at times last season he like everyone else made mistakes,any yes buy all means we were not setting the heather on fire,but at least we did have a bit more dig when he played there.

    no, when bamba played in midfield we were completely over run, the reason for that is he isn't a midfielder, he's a central defender so positionaly he didn't have a clue, there's more to midfield than just throwing yourself about like a mad man unfortunately

    The thought of taking Bamba out of our already shocking defence fightens me to death

    Think this bamba in midfield thing is a bit of a myth as he is always susceptible to a mistake or a rash red card. he doesn't have a scooby about how to positionally hold shape when in midfield

    It's turning into a scapegoat excuse

    United's midfield was Swanson, Gomis, Bauben and Conway none of whom are 'massive'

    They're just better players than ours is all
    This is how it feels

    Yep and as Houston said on the radio they work hard in the gym, try to build themselves up and do the things they need to do to succeed.

    Their midfield once again was all over ours.

    I am not saying Bamba is a natural midfielder,and when on his game he is a great asset to have in defence,but as Yogi has previously been quoted saying he picks his team horses for courses.
    At the start off the season when the pitches are good and the team was playing ok,his place in the team was correctly defence.

    Now is the time for a shot again in midfield,just to see if it works,as something really needs to be done to try to improve that area.

    That's because we played 4-1-5.

    not in every game we never, there were games when he played in a 'conventional midfield' and were completely over run, he ended up playing as a 5th defender as he had absolutely no idea where to go to influence the game so just kept on dropping deeper and deeper.
