Mark Connolly Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Neilson is obviously going to get a bit of criticism, most of it is muscle memory from the last two years with his namesake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone with a name which combines Lewis Capaldi with Robbie Neilson is always going to cause a certain level of cognitive dissonance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepare yourselves. Wondering if anyone knows if it was any but pure reserves playing in the little practice vs Raith? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was excellent last season, easily our most consistent defender and our best right-back since Keith Watson - if he had even one decent centre-back alongside him he could be a solid Premiership level player. Yes it is, and yes it will be... Not really, no. I thought he was fairly average last season. The highlighted bit dosent really make much of a case for him either. Name one right back that we've had since big Watson left (Feb 2014!!!) that was actually a right back who Smith is better than. Except Ryan McGowan.

Stokes is the Celtic minded version of Fraser Aird. Fully agree, hes a fucking walloper. Swerve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Ryan McGowan. A semantical argument over who was or wasn't a right-back is pretty meaningless. Whomever was filling that position was generally shit! As positional priorities go, upgrading the right-back slot is waaaaaaaaay down the list of priorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was kind of my point - but I was, probably wrongly, trying to cut the non right backs a bit of slack. They've all been shite but that dosent mean Smith is a good one. However the final point you make is correct in that hes not the worst player in the starting 11 which, to be fair, hasn't been suggested by anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So used to seeing a centre-back or centre-midfielder at right-back that Liam Smith looks incredible. Why did no manager in that period try to bring in a right-back (except for a 35 year old Mark Wilson)!? 1 hour ago, ArabFC said: As positional priorities go, upgrading the right-back slot is waaaaaaaaay down the list of priorities.

I don't think I'll ever forget Sean Dillon - a club legend. But I would consider him a centre-back that was pushed out to play right-back. He may well have been signed as a right-back and played there (and even left back...) when Levein insisted on playing four huge defenders, but I don't think I saw Dillon overlap a winger after about 2008. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these should be on a Tear List.

That decision rather got overshadowed by all the other bad decisions that particular manager made, but letting Keith Watson go really was an atrocious piece of business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
