    7 shots, 2 goals, outperforming his xG (opta), and more than half his shots hit the target.
    Ive been critical of him but he was exactly what we need from a striker last night and the stats, while still to early to show anything, are starting to hint hes a threat too.
    Hes like what we've attempted with folk like O'Halloran and Middleton up front, except he actually knows how to play the role and how to finish.

    To me, yes.
    Hes added physicality in there so it doesnt entirely rest on Phillips to win those types of battles.
    Dont think this shape works as well with one of then other, smaller/weaker, CMs in there.

    Where did i compare him to any of the other CBs?
    Ypu really need to calm down about how much you seem to hate some of the squad, for your own good as much as anything. Its not a good place to be mentally.

    Its not really though is it?
    Hes literally frozen Stevie May out, decided straight off Sprangler isnt up to starting, spoken openly about his CBs being too weak to play a back 4 as they need "protected as much as possible", and has sent at least 3 players to train with the youths to squeeze them out.
    When things are going wrong on the pitch, the players will start second guessing these things.

    VAR needs binned whether it goes for us or against us.
    Acting like its some conspiracy against us is pointless, its just luck of the draw what way theyll get it wrong and us camping in our own box and never getting near our opponents encourages it to work against us.

    Nah the lack of spend isnt an excuse over the past few years.
    Our accounts show we spent over £500k on players in the past 2 seasons (with a further fee spent in January on Sidibeh), and our wage bill last year was over £4.5m.
    Based on previous figures that would have us closer to Hibs than Livingston.
    Combine the fees in and we've comfortably been one of the top 6 in terms of money spent over the past 2 seasons. We've just done absolutely **** all with that spending.

    Theres enough players in there technically good enough to stay up.
    Theres too many players in there who are too weak mentally to drag us out a poor run of form.
    When its all going well they'll be fine, they hit a wee bump in the road then it just collapses. Worst bit is when its going too well they got arrogant and let standards drop. Theyll probably play well on Wednesday and fight like ****, get all the plaudits and pat themselves on the back, then revert to shitebags the next game.
    We'd be better with worse footballers with better mentalities, and it makes me appreciate ones id probably criticised in the past. People like Anderson, Muzz, and Kane himself, got pelters at different times for not being good enough technically, but you could rely on them more often than not to set standards in terms of effort/fight.

    I said that a lack of pace was a problem when Anderson and Wright were our CBs, yet we won a cup with them in a back 4, so why is it impossible (as Levein has claimed) to have Gordon/McGowan/Considine in a back 4?
    I dont even understand why a back 3/5 is seen as better for a lack of pace back there either, it just means the slowest player in the leagye (Considine) constantly finds himself 1v1 with wingers or in foot races with strikers. People can give him 5 yards and still beat him to balls, yet we're told this protects him more than if he played in a back four.

    Get him back. Better to burn out than fade away, as they say. 
    Relegated while playing 2-1-7, with our game at Celtic Park abandoned because he sang The Sash throughout and started a riot.

    A ground moves been spoken about for about 4/5 years due to "rising infrastructure costs", and by all accounts the Browns were looking at new sites throughout that time.
    It wouldnt be a shock if theyve suggested to the new owners they should be planning to move grounds within the next decade.

    Do we though?
    We won a cup with Frazer Wright and Steven Anderson at CB in a back four, why is it suddenly unthinkable that two from Gordon, McGowan, and Considine can play the same way?
    Im not saying theyre as good, but i dont see why a lack of pace at the back now forces us to play a back 5 yet Ando/Wright were fine.

    The camera went to a close up of him as he let it run out and he was absolutely ****ed.
    Assume he thought getting a breather better than trying to run with it when hes breathing out his arse.

    It wasnt luck, it was design by the previous manager.
    Tommy Wright had Rooney signed before Davidson came in, and had Kerr, Gordon and McCart playing in the back 3 the same way Davidson did.
