A think senderos should b given a chance and to b hinest don't think much of clint hill he is supposed to b expeirenced and yet yesterday gave away daft fouls and also trys to much for an offside decision witch cost us a goal against motherwell and can be much more dangerous

I agree. I'd give Senderos a chance. Can't be any worse than Kiernan

How can you blame Hill for the Motherwell goal? kiernan was the only guy who didn't step out in fact he stepped in because he was to busy watching his player who he managed to lose a couple of seconds later. Look at his reaction he knew it was his fault. Hill has steadied the defence he's not brilliant but better than we had.

Keirnan has no positional awareness whatsoever. In the game against motherwell there he again was guilty of being too deep and playing someone onside. He has no clue what his defensive partner is doing because he always too busy ball watching. Whenever he loses his man or like the game there when he makes a wayward pass he immediately turns and blames another player.

Great post mate and I'm amazed some fans still think he is the answer. He is truly awful and has cost so many goals by either poor passing, bad positioning or losing his marker. He got away with it big time yesterday firstly with the wreck less tackle then with McDonald missing that sitter.

Hill can't even play offside trap if you Watch it back you will see he is the only one who steps out.

I am surprised how Wallace escapes criticism. He was at fault for the Motherwell goal as was Kiernan.

Sorry but you can't lay the blame on Wallace as much as you can on Kiernan. Kiernan is very prone to losing his marker and this seems to happen on a weekly basis.

Stevie, I wouldn't have Kiernan in the team; indeed other than Hill and the young lad we got from Raith Rovers I don't rate any of our central defenders. That said, I do not believe that either Wallace or Tavernier are great defenders. They are both excellent in attack and are good overlapping full backs but just watch how many times Wallace gets caught up the field and can't get back into position, look at how he gets dragged into the middle and the ease with which opposition wingers get crosses in is a worry.
He is still our best defender and would probably be a lot better if he had a holding midfield player that could protect the defence so until Halliday is replaced in that position we will always have problems defensively.
Sadly, Wallace is not a leader and badly miss a Gough, Butcher, Amoruso, Ferguson style captain.

Think if u watch it back cee you will see that they all stepped out keirnan was at least 5 yards behind everybody else

You are correct bigblue Ayr, but if you look at Wallace he should never have allowed the ball to be crossed and he was not aware that Kiernan was playing the guy onside as can be seen by the fact that he was claiming for offside!

He shouldn't have to watch what the rest of back 4 are doing Tom the fact 3 of them are up and keirnan way behind says it all. I do agree he could have blocked the cross but if keirnan wasn't dreaming boy would have been well of n there wouldn't have been a cross to block! You just know he's going to have at least a howler a game

Big Blue, I know what you are saying but Wallace is the Captain, he should be organising his defence and he should be screaming at his centre backs to get out, the problem with Kiernan is that every game you are expecting him to make one mistake or lose concentration at a crucial time.
If he had a Souness, Gough, Butcher, Ferguson or even Roberts as his captain they would have crucified him by now for his mistakes. Wallace needs to show some leadership qualities in that team.
