Kfraser,
I agree that senderos needs to be a bit more careful. I was worried about him already on a yellow but showed good composure after that to see out the second half. I don't know if you agree but, I thought Danny Wilson was commanding in that game too. He didn't win every ball in the air but when he didn't win the header he was applying good pressure on the Partick front men and not giving them a chance to get the ball down and bring in other players.

Bears, When Warbs brought Seadaros in he was obviously seen as first choice, his first game went wrong but he needs games to get to grips with our game and form a good partnership with Wilson and gel with rest of the team, Seadaros is a quality CH he's played at the highest level in football and is probably our highest earning defender. I think Hill will be next in line when at anytime we need to rest either CH, come Jan I think we should bring in a winger with a left foot. A left sided winger is obvious, also imo I think Warbs must replace Waghorn with Dodoo! Waghorn has not been up to it playing on the right and I think Dodoo would be much better playing in that position, I think he has played that position previously and did it well. If Warbs is going to play Wags then it should be through the middle but it seems that Garner AND Miller are in front of him, I agree that Garner should be given that position and we give him time. Waghorn tho should be our second choice in that position I do worry about Wags tho as he has not been as prolific this season but again I think this comes down to where he's getting played! Anyways dunno if any of u Bears agree with that but regarding Jan I think that even if we cannot afford any transfer fees we must try and bring someone like Winks in! (sure the lad was a lefty? ) if not Warbs must have a look at players from top teams down south, players that are being kept out teams like City Arsenal Spurs and Utd Warbs has good relationships and knows the market he needs to utilise this come Jan. Thoughts Bears.

I think your call for Garner and Dodoo is a good one but can't see the manager doing it. There used to be a joke about Beckham's footballing ability and similarly with Waghorn (" Waggy ") you could say he can't beat a player, has no right foot and can't header a ball but apart from that he's a good player. Then you've got " Kenny " and the 36 year age thing is ignored as a factor and he plays 90 minutes when he should be a bench player. I think there is a best 11 in the squad but don't think it'll be played. Just look at Rodgers benching Griffiths for Dembele, bold management and its working for them.

why dodoo? why not ohalloran? dodoo looks like a poor man's oduwa. some of these games are crying for someone to go out and just run at defenders.

Just to add, I think we should take a punt on Crawford at Access, the lad has bags of potential and technical ability. Now I know what people will say, that we don't need him regarding his position BUT, if this lad got the right type of coaching he could blossom at Ibrox. He's not the biggest but I think he could go on to be a big player, like I said at present he isn't a massive stand out player but I've got a feelin that with a Manager like Warbs and all that comes with bein at Ibrox he would definetly add something to the squad. The guy is a bluenose so it couldn't hurt havin another Halliday in the team :) think that we would be able to afford him although depending on his contract status we could maybe be able to get him on a free. Like I said ill understand some Bears reluctance about signing Crawford but I really do think that with the right coaching this guy would be a hit and if we can get Ali for nothing its a no-brainer no matter his position. So when Barton goes in Jan we bring in Crawford. Don't all jump on at once.

Andy I like wee Crawford as well good player but who would warbs drop to put him in team is he any better than holt rossiter or Halliday . We've also got crooks windass krankaer it would just be another player in squad not guaranteed a game good wee player though.

think the last position we want to bring in is midfielders we already have plenty of competition for there. i'd tryb bring in defenders if it where me .

I know people saying on here Wilson did well but let's face it thistle may well go down this year and are paying awfull atm.

we need to be winning games by 3 4 goals at least against teams like thistle, county and anyone from the bottom half of the table.

James,
I agree with you that if we are to get anyone in on loan in January it should be in defence. Wilson is capable of being a really good defender again but the others continue to worry me. Maybe Senderos is just taking time to get up to speed but he was shown up again on several occasions on Saturday and could be facing a retrospective ban. Hill seems like a nice guy but was always slow and will never be the new DW and as far as I'm concerned Kiernan has had his chance and been found wanting. So let's see if a deal can be worked out to see Barton on his way and put any money saved (if any) into getting a better partner for Wilson. I know we aren't scoring as many as we should but we continue to create chances so hopefully at least one of our attacking options will start banging a few more in soon. I would not be so confident however that our current central defensive options will reduce goals given away particularly to sides above us currently in the Premiership.

Cee. Why exclude Dodoo? He hasn't had a chance yet. O'Halloran has played a few games and hasn't impressed. I think Dodoo and Garner should be given a run as our main strikers with either Mackay or Windass also up front wide.

04 Oct 2016 22:26:05
Hopefully come January Warbs will bring in a colossal defender and a left sided attacking midfielder a young hungry lad lightning quick who wants to prove to his manager he's a player, again we need to look at the top 4-5 teams down South! They must have somebody who can't get in the squad due to bein kept out because of some top top player on massive wages.

Solid win on Saturday and a clean sheet for a change. I'm still not sure about central defence though Wilson looks better this season. Halliday is a true blue all the way through and I've always liked Holt. It will be interesting to see when/ if Barton comes back how he'll react and also Rossiter, Windass and Crooks. Surely we've the makings of a great squad?

I am rather concerned about our inability to take chances and I think it is time to give Garner and Dodoo a run up front. Next league game away to Inverness a week on Friday is a must win. After the Celtic cup semi-final we've 3 out of 4 home games against St Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Dundee and away to Ross County. These next five league games will tell if we've improved.

we have the makings of a great midfield that's for sure hopefully we get a settled back 4 and they can improve dramatically before the end of the month.

our strikers need to be more clinical and more shots from the midfield to keep keepers on their toes.

we will come good this season and I hope it dosnt take too long so we can get second spot.

if we fifnish third or worse we will never hear the end of it.

Dodoo needs his chance. They gave dembele a chance and look how that turned out. Albeit because thumb was injured but still.

I'm not enjoying the squad rotation. Fair play we won but we need give some players a run of games. Especially the strikers. Goal scoring and confidence go hand in hand. You can only get confidence via your manager and on the park. As soon as a few of our attackers score a couple of goals in back to back games. The floodgates will open.

Doiger, i think we are seeing a better player in wilson, reason being he has got to keep his eye on his playing partner, since kernan was dropped wilson has been playing well, and if ime being honest as long as we keep clean sheets kearnen will be benched, and let's be honest we were all dying to see him getteing dropped, so long may it continue, imho.

Always said Danny Wilson was a classy player playing well beneath his level and that contributed to his concentration issues. All games against SPFL oppositions last season he was great and his ability to get the ball out from the back is second to none and extremely vital to our success. We are much more comfortable as a team with him in there he's a future Rangers and Scotland captain if he can keep progressing the guy has so much ability.

Doiger, i meant to post above "does not have to keep his eye on playing partner" kearnon is the week link.

Ross, why was he outstanding for hearts at the same level?
