D'Jaffo Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 I’d rather Muirhead than Bell* * ideally we’d sign 2 starting cbs but that’s not realistic. Not 2 starting ones. But perhaps the boy Harrington and someone like Lang or Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Our defence was always better with Bell in it - Rose owes a lot to him. He made mistakes but I can’t understand what some of our support have against him.I can’t really remember him making a mistake in League 1. We would never have won that league without him. Probably one of the best impact signings McCall has made. And until the 3-3 draw with Ross County I can’t really remember him doing anything. I think with both him and Adams being PT they’ll be back ups with Muirhead and someone else being the first choice. Imo though if we sign a younger player I’d rather we stuck him alongside Bell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of our fans also totally underestimate his passing ability and the amount of moves that started at the back via Bell, contrast that to Muirhead who can't pass a ball to feet at all and you can see why Bell is invaluable if playing a passing possession style of play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was just having the benefit of an old hand next to him organising the defence that helped. As a partnership, Rose and Higgins was as poor as anything we’ve had in recent years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh given that, not too long ago, we lined up with Darren Brownlie and Marc Twaddle at CB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railwayend Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Stevie Bell has been a great signing and if only he didn't have that rick at Inverness ,which then allowed Higgins back in the team for the Talbot game , then it would have been Hearts away in the quarters after destroying Talbot in a reply on a proper football pitch . Anyway we are waiting on two or three for the starting 11 and lets hope a couple of double figures guys are amongst them . Doolan would be a start ,as well as a partner and a goal scoring midfielder . Get the feeling McCowan will get a run in the Betfred but may get moved out wide for the League games early on . Could also do with some goals from our centre backs at corners ,big Muirhead got one at Thistle this season but more are required . Get the feeling if we can take 10 points from Alloa and Arbroath we should be ok .,but I figure there will be a surprise in the bottom two ! Lets make sure it aint us ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets make sure it aint us ... I can't say it would be a surprise to see us in the bottom two. Unless we get some legs and goals into the team I can't imagine this will be any more fun than post Christmas last year where we were one of the worst teams in the league for that spell.

The fifth goal we conceeded against QoS back in September is a good watch as to why Bell shouldn't be played at centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
