Milligan

[BILLYHIBS]

Keep getting flashbacks of Forrest going past Milligan as though he was not there and Milligan missing the opportunity to launch Forrest into Row Z when he was still outside the box!

I'd put him alongside McGregor tomorrow evening in a back 4. Hanlon needs time out as for whatever reason he hasn't been performing.

I agree Hanlon has been poor for quite some time (I cant remember the last time he had a good game) however I don't think putting Milligan in is the answer. May as well give the new loan signing a chance in a back 4 - although based on our recent recruitment I don't hold out much hope for him

I think since Milligan has come back from international duties he has been excellent and has matched the potential of his first few games.

I agree. Another player who seems to be benefiting from having at least a little bit of a settled team.

He had a very good game yesterday.

We could all benefit from a settled team!
Player's actually being played in their best positions, it's about bloody time.😉

Totally agree, been great since he came back. I gave him a bit of stick a while back. But he's definitely proved his worth.

[B.H.F.C]

I don’t think Milligan has been as bad as some make out. Made a huge difference when he first came in then we started mucking about with his position and our shape.

Not one for the long term I don’t think but I’d have him in that role before Marv or Whittaker.

I thought he was ok today but no more than that. I would rather we played with 4 at the back and an extra man in midfield.
Three at the back works well if you have proper wing backs but we have full backs so it just ends up with 5 at the back. When you have 5 at the back it’s easy for Milligan to get time on the ball.

We WERE playing 4 at the back - Milligan was in midfield the whole match and a had a good game.

NB - just noticed OzyHibby's post I replied to was from weeks ago after we played Aberdeen - so my comment re 4 at the back is not relevant to his post.

FWIW I thought Milligan also had a decent performance against the Dons - he has been improving this year I think - perhaps due to more consistent selection.

We had 4 at the back all game

The only tactical change came when we moved from a diamond in the second half to a three across the middle with Milligan sitting behind them deeper in front of the back 4

Ozy’s quote there was from the Aberdeen game where Milligan played in a back 3.

We didn’t play a diamond at any point yesterday though, it was a flatter 4-4-2 IMO.

Ok. Didn’t realise that.

We certaintly moved to

Milligan has been looking very good recently.

Yeah he did seem to sit deeper, maybe manager instructions or maybe just human nature. Did seem we sat off a bit too much at times but probably a tactic as we had great chances on the break. The one that Shaw made a mess of, in particular.

Says as much in his post match interview.

[Callum_62]

Been saying that he has been getting written off far too early

Been excellent since he came back in - hopefully he can keep it up

I tho l since he came back from the Asia cup he has been our best player, excellent game yesterday. Attempted a few ambitious passes which got picked off but he then imeediately won it back.

I thought he improved second half, and two crossfield balls in particular were very accurate and should have led to more, but noone out there today really had much to shout about. The suspicion is Aberdeen just have slightly better players than us and will probably continue to do so.

Totally agree apart from the last comment. don't really see any reason why Aberdeen should continue to have better players than us.

They’ve a bigger budget.

[AgentDaleCooper]

It's pretty simple IMO - he's a midfielder.

[The 90+2]

Very good player that a little bit more pace would be a superstar. Fantastic footballing head on him.

Funny the manager described our formation as a diamond in post match interval.

Hmm, was surprised by that so just watched his interview with Cliff.

He talks about playing against Hamilton’s diamond. How we got a 2 vs 1 in the build up to our opening goal against their diamond. Also talks about playing Horgan wide which reinforces the formation we played - a flat 4-4-2.

They have a wealthy benefactor putting money in.

Correct

[King Dominique]

Played well on Saturday. Definitely not the man of the match though. Surely that was unquestionably Slivka.

[hibbydad]

Yes Jones 28 but they also have a large number of fans contributing as well We need to smell the coffee and get behind HSL before it is too late

[BILLYHIBS]

Milligan had a good game on Saturday

I just wish we had signed him 10 years ago he must have been some player

Slivka my man of the match on Saturday

He was very good. Best ever Aussie player in the A league IMO . Maybe Mooy and Jedinak have gone on to better things but Milligan has always been a standout consistently .
Was going to go to Crystal palace a few years ago but had visa issues
Would have been way out our price range 10 years ago
My main worry when we got him was that he would have lost a lot of pace. Saw him play his first few games when I was back in Scotland and he looked comfortable but he seemed to lose a bit of confidence after Forrest tore him a new one at Parkheid .
Maybe he was focussing on Asian Cup and pressure of being captain of his country but he wasn't as effective fora few games .
Has looked back to his best since returning from Dubai but still worry that he will be exposed with lack of pace now,
He certainly isn't as dominant as he was down here but is playing at a much better standard. He didn't look out of place against the French in WC though . is a far better option in DM than Marv

I thought he came back from International duty much fitter and sharper and that has shown in his performances.

Most players would be roasted by Forrest for pace, I wouldn't really hold that against him.

He's done very well over the past few games.

If he was 23 we wouldn't be talking about his pace as any lack of it hasn't really been evident in his performances.
