Robertson can do more going forward, so I'd pick him in the home games. We could also think about Tierney at right-back if Hutton doesn't start the campaign well. What do you mean IF Hutton doesn't start well ha, he is utter horse s**t and well past it, we should be looking beyond him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopio Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Who Plays RB for Arbroath? Willing to bet they can at least do what an RB is meant to do and that is actually defend, Hutton cant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Paterson and Donald Love look like the 2 youngsters that will be fighting it our for the right back spot in the near future, unless we find a more experienced Englishman with a Scottish bloodline. Speaking of which, what has happened to Phil Bardsley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopio Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I would take Bardsley ahead of Hutton atm if only because he is actually a better Defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof! Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 How's John Souttar looking? He could play RB or allow Martin to play there. I see Stoke are hoping to sign his wee brother Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabinho Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 How's John Souttar looking? He could play RB or allow Martin to play there. I see Stoke are hoping to sign his wee brother Harry. I'd rather have Martin at right back and use Berra at centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I would like to see him play maybe one game there before we go selecting him for the international team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen anything of Kingsley at Swansea myself but good to hear we have another defender doing well. Discounting Kingsley due to my own lack of knowledge, I'd have the general pecking order of left backs as Robertson, Tierney, Shinnie, Wallace, Whittaker. I have seen Kingsley a few times at the liberty, and my in laws are swans season book holders. They love him and only have great things to say about him. I personally much prefer robertson as left back, and from the games I have seen Kingsley he would slot perfectly into CB position and with Ashley being sold to the toffees he may get his chance there.

RandomGuy. Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Souttar shouldn't even be mentioned. Miles from international standard. Tierney is being judged on a good 8 months, if he can sustain it then fine, but his level will likely dip this season so Robertson needs to be first choice. No idea about Kingsley.

Souttar has more technical ability than any of our other defenders. He still has to prove he can defend to a high standard but he's still a young player. If Tierney performs in the up and coming Champions League qualifier I'd have him as first choice. He's a natural defender, and I can't actually remember anyone beating him. Robertson second choice or further up the park. Kingsley is 5ft 10 in, so not a great option at centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertson had Mahrez in his back pocket on Saturday, yes he is excellent going forward but the boy can still defend. It's a great headache for Strachan to have.

Fabio Cannavaro was 5ft 9 and one of the best defenders in the last 20 years so the height argument is a load of shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
