Rocco Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 RWB would afford him a bit more leeway for defensive deficiency/naievety. Presuambly thats what we are talking about rather than RB in a back 4? I was surprised Hartley didn't play him there in the friendlies/cup games. You don't have to be great defensively to play rwb anyway as Victor Moses has proven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haber and Petra could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't really utilised his pace because he tends to get the ball 20 yards out with a man to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't really utilised his pace because he tends to get the ball 20 yards out with a man to beat Or gets the ball to feet with a defender hard up against him and thats when you get the most ridiculous shouts from the crowd of "SKIN HIM FFS" or "HOW KIN HE NO BEAT A MAN?!!??!"

Harry Kinnear Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 One of the friendlies, could have been Airdrie about 2 or 3 times balls were played over the top to Petra and he pissed it against the defender for pace. With Haber up top Petra and Greenwood should be doing this and getting loads of crosses into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't played to suit his strengths and his goal against Forfar is the only time I've seen us utilising his pace properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petra at RWB and a 5-0 win today or its jotters for Hartley at 16:55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip we definitely have the players to get the crosses in. With Haber or Mackin up front we have players capable of getting on the end of them.

If you play a big guy, then anticipation 9f the second ball is crucial. We didnt get anywhere near close enough to Mackin at Firhill, hence why I was reluctant to give Mackin the shelling that a few folk gave him. It quite simply wasnt his fault.

Was the same against ICT with Haber. He was winning all the long punts in the air but we weren't getting decent balls into the box for him to attack. If you are going down the route of playing a big target man you have to give him the ammunition to feed off.Doesn't matter what any of the new players do now, they have been written off already but some of our support and that includes Mackin.

Harry Kinnear Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yeah I agree, it's down to Hartley to play them in their right positions and in an attacking formation that gives the players a chance to show what they can or cannot do. Hopefully today is the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Back Post Misses Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 The thought of the Lithuanian at RB fills me with dread. Only need to look at his attempts to defend at Patrick’s first goal to know it is a stupid idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
