Drylaw Hearts Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Mind a certain poster from Drylaw confidently claiming he'd never make it at Hearts? I do. He was amazing today. That was when we were trying to play him in midfield - a position he quite clearly wasn't capable of playing. I have stated many times since that he looks far comfier at RB.

Drylaw Hearts Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Or even a Portuguese CD, with a bit more speed and skill, to do what Bruno did with Ritchie and McManus. Why Portuguese ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Really need an experienced centre back to tutor him...fortunately No.6 is not it. Unless he wants to learn how to hoof the ball aimlessly. Drive the team on Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Why Portuguese ? To be more accurate I should have said someone that the manager knows and trusts, so he is more likely to be Portuguese than Fijian or Outer Mongolian etc but any nationality would do as long as he does the job. Not a big issue I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem Officer? Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 He should be the first name on the team-sheet in our back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo19 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yep if am right he won every tackle he went for yesterday. He missed one tackle late on in the second half but got back and blocked the cross. Made some brilliant tackles yesterday though and never gave up. Nearly created a goal too, well played Ryan!

Guest Just Came To Say Kello Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Ibrox at the start of the season. I think. I really can't remember tbh. I just remember he played a few games and you came out with this ridiculous "he won't make it at Hearts" line and it bugged me and I wanted to bring it up once he started getting a run and doing well.

He was excellent at RB that day - he made a mistake for the goal right enough but other than that he didn't lose a tackle. He would never have made it if they continued to play him in CM.

Coco Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great to see him get stuck in - he's got a great attitude for the game. A bright light in that minging season when Shaggy put him on for the last 15 minutes against Gretna in their last SPL game. He played centre half and went on a couple of mazy runs. Gave away a penalty too though I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 No...I was right. Ryan McGowan is never a CM'er in his life. McGowan had a poor game in midfield at Ibrox last season. When Jonsson was sent off, Ryan moved back to CH and was excellent for the last 20 mins or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossthejambo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 One of the few players in the squad right now that I would class as a favourite. His work ethic, professionalism and ability are top drawer (especially in a position that is not natural to him). Plus his hatred of Hibs is beyond admirable. Hope he's here for a long time to come.

The one thing that surprises me is that the last 3 managers did not rate him highly enough to give him a regular game. I'm sure he didn't suddenly come good. Could he have played at LB last season when Trigger got injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Jefferies was gutted when he found out his loan to Ayr had been extended and he could not recall him in the 09/10 season, but when he came back in 10/11 season JJ didn't play until the last few games of the season, I thought that was a real waste.

Both McGowan and Hearts have been fortunate that we've needed him to cover at FB as there wass every chance he could well have disappeared off the scene altogether. If he'd been still viewed as the CM'er everyone kept saying he was he would have been out on loan again imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_jambo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 No...I was right. Ryan McGowan is never a CM'er in his life. He has actually performed well in centre midfield for our youth team and for Ayr United. I look forward to him proving you wrong twice over.

Robbo-Jambo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Ended up sitting next to McGowan in the second half at Dunfermline away. Seems a nice lad sitting in with the fans having a chat. He did say that a position in the back 4 is his preferred option but would play anywhere. Another 10 with his attitude would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
