I know hes nearly finished and was never that great for us anyway, but i cant even remember the last time i saw his name on Sheff Weds' teamsheet. He'd be a reasonable pick for now until we find a few more options Injured last three months, same as Bannan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be so negative but I just associate him with 10 years of failure. Not saying he is "the one", just the best back up to Griffiths. Naismith is just one of the many number 10's who have been forced to play striker in recent years. In his correct role I think he's very good.

I know your not, I just don't think experienced back up is better than back up with potential. I dare say I will have stats thrown at me but I think compared with other countries it is a major fault of ours. Pretty sure we have had some of the highest average aged teams in Europe over the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyBlueScot Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Paterson and Cairney have scored again today. Would love to see them in the Prem next season to see how they get on. Also, saw this article on Paterson: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/neil-warnock-reveals-wont-actually-14419127 Do like Warnock's quote: "When I signed him, I knew he would score six or seven goals as a full-back but what I didn’t know is that he can’t defend," laughed Warnock.

A lot of people on here no better than Warnock. I mean he did play right back for Hearts. Another clean sheet for the uncapped Jordan Archer.

He got all of 26 minutes, but it's going to be hard to fit him in on the left hand side. Only way I can see him in is we play Tierney at right back in a back four which might suit the overall team better just not Tierney. We will probably stick 3-5-2 even though we don't have a right wing back and Robertson is better at left back. But hey we beat Hungary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceudmilefailte Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Just looking at who scored.com and Ryan Fraser was in the team of the week. Funny thing is he was playing at right back! Problem solved? First time he has played there this season He's played in 8 different position this season in 17 appearances! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean we'd need to play a 4.2.3.1 or a 4.3.3. So abandoning our 3 at the back. Unless we go 3-4-3. Oh, I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unless that was a flash in the pan he is our best right back by a mile. Would create massive problems on the left if we played a back four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he stays in the wolves team in the premiership next season then both KT and Robbo will still be playing at a higher level, let alone still being better players. how many players have we had in the past who’ve been good in the championship and never made it for Scotland or at a higher level - snoddy is one who looks like a top end championship players and Ross McCormack too. Bit early to be suggesting we drop one of our two best players for a guy who may just be having a career season in england’s Second tier.

I'm not suggesting Douglas is better, more that he might be a better wing back than the other two who are left backs like it or not. It' all back to the usual problem of how many and who we play out of position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windae cleaner Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I would like to see Tierney left back with Robertson left midfield, play a 4-5-1 even just in a friendly. It would be the best left sided nation in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
