    I just don't understand why that would be the pre agreed plan. Defenders should be doing the defending.

    Hanlon and Fontaine have been good, not sure if they're the best mind you (stats wise?).

    The problem I have with him is that he always seems to have a mistake in him - a bit like Gary Smith. He's of teh age now where he'll probably not grow out of that.
    Bit simplistic that. Four v Ten?

    Maybe it's simplistic if you're simple?

    The defenders need to be taking control in a defensive situation.

    Any need? Every man in the defending box should be defending. You never heard the term defensive midfielder? There are four defenders and ten outfield opposition. Could not make it simpler for you friend. Can you count?

    They should be but actual defenders should be taking control not relying on an attacking midfielder doing their job for them.

    And yes I can count - not sure of the relevance though.

    Ah well, if you're not sure I'll leave it at that.

    You're always best to ignore the point if you can't explain it.

    Think I already explained how 4 v 10 might not work in favour of defenders only doing the defending. Simple arithmetic.

    Oh is that what you were saying? Think we might be along the same lines then. We definitely had more than 4 defending but out experts in the subject didn't do their job.

    Your constant defence of Liam Craig and negative comments about Scott Allan worry me

    Every single player on the park makes mistakes. Its scottish football. The quality isn't exactly amazing. Allan will make 20 mistakes during a game and some people think he;s Zico...Hanlon makes one mistake and he gets roasted on here. Does my nut in.
    Wasn't one mistake, Supposed to be a CH and never wins a ball in the air.Skinned on several occasions on the deck yesterday.That isn't good enough for this club.

    Fontaine is shear class. Sadly I can't see us retaining him at the moment.

    Of course Allan is trying more high risk passes in much more congested areas of the pitch.

    Looked from the highlights it was Craig who didn't challenge the fridge for the goal.

    It was him picking up Nade, he had been for the whole game.

    They were doing the defending. Against their defenders. Craig marked Nade fine all game until then.

    He's genuinely useless.

    He Cant be usless if he done it the whole game. One lapse of concentration. I don't see the front men getting a barrel of abuse for missing all those chances.

    The replay I saw he wasn't marking anyone. He'll be delighted Craig was in the vicinity though.

    And yet if we put him up for sale he would more than likely end up at an SPL club. But hey, bash on with your hard of thinking comments.....
