No Defence

Said to friends before the game that two centre half’s barely six foot were going to struggle against Saints. Porteous then gets attacked early and loses mobility. Add two short full backs and we are too wee and lack physicality

Jackson wanted to go and only makes the bench for Lincoln.

Neither of those points justify not signing a replacement.

Porteous needs to stop trying to win fouls and clear the ball sick of watching him doing this. When he first broke into the team he was an all out ball winner, now he looks around then falls down.

We should consider getting LiamLindsay in and Jason Kerr at centre half?.
Hanlon and Porto have no competition they are on cruise control re team selection.
Soft centre will never do in a fitba team?
Raging with tonight’s performance,second half and defending was abysmal to be polite!!!!!

Jack stop being so loyal to these defenders!......

Hanlon can’t win the header for Porto at the first, he can’t follow McGinn’s runner for the second, or the third for that matter.

If Hanlon was to leave and join another club that had a shan defence would he suddenly turn it around into a strong defensive unit.

Nope.

You could say that about a fair number of players though. Names like Gallagher etc all branded about but all have ‘shan’ records this season. I think we still have the third best defensive record this season, but we have extremely poor games defensively, I’ve no idea what will change that.

Gallacher at Motherwell a good shout too even o donnell too.
enough midfielders in our squad!!.
Hanlon is not a first pick for me now ,or in fact Marciano ?.suspect at high balls or shots too left or right?
good reflex keeper ,I would go with Macey ?.
porto has still lots too learn and he needs to stop thinking he’s beckenbaur ...

Hanlon and Porto know they will play every week as there is no one to put pressure on them. Hard to find a commanding centre half for the money we have.

Jason Kerr?
