renton Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 He's no good as a last man defender against a speedy forward. However, with someone quick beside him as backup his defensive and attacking capabilities especially at set pieces is immense. he often got away with things in the second that he would get punished for in the first, he was always a bit causual, and now his phyiscla attributes aren't enough to compensate for that as they used to. For us, in the first, he'd be a bloody liability. Even if we did have him at the club, I'd still start Hill and Murray before him, if not Ellis now as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho Marv was commited he was sometimes a bit too casual and tried to stroll through games, no way he would get away with it in this league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Campbell's still out, Wilson's struggling, we've still not signed a striker, Hislop has signed for East Fife and now the one and only Sloanaldo has gone and done the same thing. Bet he plays a fucking blinder in the cup match. Edited June 30, 2010 by Paco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Very bad news regarding Wilson, I hoped he'd have fully recovered by now. Hopefully he'll still manage to get a few games behind him pre-season. The team suffers quite badly when Wilson isn't fit, as he's the only right back we've got. Grant Murray puts in a solid display when he's there, but I'd rather have Wilson in there any day. With Dyer signed, Ellis is free to slot in at CB should Murray need to go out to RB. Starting to get a bit un nerved by the lack of movement regarding another striker, and at this moment in time I think we'll have to be content with simply not getting relegated. Yep, I think we'll be in for a similar sort of season to last, although I'm more confident we won't get relegated than I was going into last season.

Yoss Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 lordy, what's up with you all? It's not even July and you're panicking already? Keep the faith, we'll be absolutely fine if we start the season with what we've got, but as ever there'll be all kinds of developments and loan signings and whatever else to happen over the course of the year anyway. Chill. Have some chocolate mousse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any As long as Wilson is fit to start the season, my apprehension will be less, but as it is, unless Tade has found a pair of shooting boots, we are still ridiculously light up front. Baird is only likely to be a partial solution and I don't want us relying on a loan signing to fill the gap if possible - what Houston giveth, Houston can also taketh away.

renton Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Marv out of his depth in the Scottish First Division? Ellis is better? FFS Yes, now I think he might be getting there. He couldn't break through into the Queens team last season, which would imply something missing that used to be there. he was a disaster at Hamilton before that. In the last two years he's only managed to prove himself as a second division player. Now, I think we are better equipped with players who have a better reading of the game. Marv never really anticipated the play, but rather reacted to it, his reactions aren't what they used to be, and his physical presence is less intimidating in this league.
