I wouldn't be surprised if he's being asked to play in a completely unfamiliar role tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templeofsaints Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I think one of the biggest issues is how deep Bair ends up playing. When we defend a corner we have 11 in the box - surely if he's got a bit of pace tell him to stay up at the bloody halfway line at least - if nothing else its a possible outlet when we hoof the ball clear.

Not sure about the pace bit. I don't think I have seen him outpace a centre back yet. Doesn't seem to be better than average on the ground either. Was happy to give him a wee run in the team but it doesn't seem to have helped. Nice wee chest down for Murphy but nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.w Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Eetu on a double already today, I don’t know what crime he committed to get banished. Oh before anybody gives the pub leave crap, I don’t care if it’s the school boy league at least he’s scoring Edited August 21, 2022 by john.w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think we have seen enough. For a guy at 6 ft plus he is poor in the air and his attempt to head the ball which went through to Marshall and led to 3rd goal was pathetic. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even that his headers are poor, he can't actually get close enough to the ball to head it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outatimecow Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Didn't Bair say Mikey and himself were the fastest on the team?! At least with O'Halloran he has explosive pace and can go by a man, Bair doesn't look like he could go by anyone in the league. Maybe he just needs that one goal for confidence but he looks miles off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Bair played well when he came on today. Has even learned to head a ball. There is hope there when we thought there was non. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 I think Bair is very slowly, gradually improving and there have definitely been some promising signs emerging lately. First his goal against Killie and then his performance when he came on against Celtic, which I think is the first time I've actually seen him convincingly use his strength and size to hold off defenders and maintain possession. It was also great to see him actually get a chance to play alongside a strike partner, especially someone like May who links up so well. A few months ago I'd have thought I'd never, ever be calling for Bair to start a game - but I'd actually quite like to see him and May start together up front against Livi.
