We had no players on the bench who could have changed the game, not getting another striker in Jan was criminal. We really should have went 352 and matched saints. Players need to have a good look at themselves, they missed a massive opportunity

To be fair, at least Mallan would have had a shot or two.
Thing that pissed me off about Saturday was we were one nil down and absolutely no one was willing to have a dig and see what happened.
Murphy, who I've already said thought played well enough when he came on, was guilty of this a few times. Cut in and ran across the box but didn't have the faith in his ability to have a shot. If it was Mallan he's smashing it. Usually on target as well.

To be fair, the lads I watched the game with would have put up a better fight than that disgraceful spectacle we were dished up.

Only Allan at his best would have made a difference. But no point dreaming about what ifs. We had more than enough on that pitch to win the Cup and Ross had enough options to affect the game. Sadly, we had no one close to the calibre of Stokes or Henderson or McGinn to drag the others along.

Hope I’m wrong,because I’ve rated both Mallan and Allan,highly in the past,but I have the feeling that their time has come and gone at ER.
Who are we going to replace them with ? Haven’t got a clue,as I can’t see any other players in the current squad similar to them.
Looks like we need to look elsewhere and the question is where?

Forget these two.
Who else in Scotland - outside the old firm - has the creativity/passing and some robustness around them that we could pick up this summer, lets hear some names..

Allan has obvious quality and should be one of the first names on the team sheet.
Mallan seems to get a lot more criticism but for me there’s very few in Scottish football that have his technique and ability on the ball, in terms of passing, shooting etc.
If he was to sign for another team like Aberdeen, Hearts, St Johnstone etc I think he’d used properly and have runners and tacklers behind him. He would score double figures if played in an advanced position Imo

I dont think either player will have much input at Hibs next season. Mallan wants to play every week - he wont get that at Hibs. Not at the level we want to be at. Allan i just dont think will get back to the levels he once had for us.

I keeper hearing this, but its just a theory. Hes never performed consistently in reality. His passing is also very poor at times.

His passing is very poor at times - so what? Like Jackson Irvine, and Scott Allan and frankly most footballers. All three's passing is also very good at times.
Joe Newell is someone who rarely gives the ball away, but actually he also rarely plays a telling pass when you need some magic. That's fine when you are in the lead but no good when your chasing a game.
If its consistency you are looking for then the current central midfielders are very consistent in being unable to contribute to our goals tally.Last edited by LaMotta; 24-05-2021 at 03:58 PM.

He’s also rarely played in an advanced midfield role with 2 behind him.
His passing ratio might not be the best as he tries harder passes, but I’d bet he’d be one of the best passers at the club.

Your arguments are failing to hit the target more than our current central midfielders.

Decent player, good dead balls and can hit a long shot, but nowhere near as dynamic a midfielder as we need, already we have a midfield of statues with no movement and energy and Mallan makes that worse.
We should be building a formation / system / option that gets the best our of Scott Allan.

I’d move both on and put their wages towards the same kind of player. Mallan has his positives but we won’t, and shouldn’t, build the midfield around him to compliment those attributes. With Allan, even before his fitness issues I thought he looked a good player on his day but simply no longer the same player as in his second spell.

Unfortunately Ross's industrial style football doesn't allow creative midfielders like Allan and Mallan.
Mallan never got punted off to Turkey, he like Gullan wanted more game time and the opportunity came up. BTW 14 games and 2 goals isn't a bad return for a 4 month loan for Mallan..Last edited by J-C; 25-05-2021 at 07:42 AM.
