HoBNob Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 FFC have always been considered a good footballing team, trying to play in the correct manner but this season there is little evidence of that. Have ye aye? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should never, ever be playing Taiwo, Rankin and Kerr in the same side never mind what the formation is. Houston persists on playing Taiwo on the right side of midfield which frankly adds nothing to the team but then again if he'd signed a decent right sided midfielder instead of Rank Rotten he wouldnt need to do that. We currently again have the 3rd biggest budget in the league. A budget that has been increased from last season. Now whilst the bod can be criticised somewhat for not investing more of the vaulks cash and for any perceived wage cap Houston has to take the blame for his mediocre signings. Its also up to him to push the bod to loosen this wage cap so that players of quality leaving can be replaced by some decent quality coming in instead of dross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only started Rankin, Kerr and Taiwo once together, I dont mind Taiwo on the right if the opposition suits, like it did last season in certain games but more than often it hasnt suited. Im not keen on Rankin, Kerr and Taiwo starting but for 30 odd mins we were the better team v Queens and it was working, we lost goal when Taiwo was off the park then fell apart. Rankin had his worst game for us on the left tho but on that day, I couldnt fault Taiwo or Kerr, whereas the powderpuff middle of our defence, the finger can be pointed. The fingers will also be pointed towards Houstie in wasting the budget come Jan or the end of the season, just not yet tho its far to early to write off the players signed. I feel some think signing players is like playing Football manager, its not that simple with the market he is dealing with which is much the same as probably more than half of the league, time will tell come Jan or the end of the season if the players signed will have done the job, not 4 games in but I agree so far that a decent right hand mid shouldve been sourced before Rankin as it stands, up to him to prove us wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrbairn Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 He is the captain of the Development side and has just been given a contract extension . He is over 18 and we have played players a lot younger than that. Surely if we have enough faith in him to give him an extension we should be seeing if he can fill a gap in our team. If you don't try him we won't know. Are you available to play right mid for the rest of the season ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do go on holiday quite a lot though so we'd need to come to some arrangement with that. I won't be able to play on Saturday for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Rankin hopefully will get kept out the team and freed in January, he's done. It also beggars belief that McCracken who was done last season (if not before) still needs to be called upon to try n shore up our central defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rankin is never done and will prove useful once suspensions and injuries, other than the QOS game, he hasnt had a bad bad game, as for McCracken, that'll be the same McCracken who came in last season to shore up the defence after the Ross County defeat, he is a good experienced pro and has been good for us and is back because we have been a soft touch in the middle of our defence recently.

He is done and showed that clearly in the first leg of the Hibbies playoff game last season where his rashness nearly cost us big time as it did previously with his glorious feck up in the scottish cup final. The fact he's getting a game highlights again Houstons failure to bring in new signings that improve the side instead of being jersey fillers. Rankin will be playing in the second division or lower next season once we free him at the end of his contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
