Tenaciousdandy Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Just had a customer say his mate plays for hibs reserves and played against clare, said he is ridiculously good and that he doesn't say that about many folk, so here's hoping he gets up to speed and is in the first time asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope his only minutes for hearts have been against Aberdeen. Unless there was a closed doors bounce match against our city rivals? Quite possible with us both using the same facilities I suppose but I’d think it would be for nobodies instead of letting Lennon see our onlynunlnown quantity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambogaza Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'd start him on wed. He's an unknown. He wa a brought on against Aberdeen to stretch the midfield, which worked. He came on yesterday for a run out when the game was over. Levein hasn't asked him to go full throttle as yet. If he's ready to do so, get him out there against hibs.

Hannibal Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Certainly not going to write him off after a sub appearance in the Aberdeen game which was 100 miles an hour and a sub appearance yesterday with 15 mins to go at 3-0 down against Celtic. Surprised he didn’t come off the bench at Dundee when we were 3-0 up and cruising just after half time. Comes with a decent pedigree so sure he will make his mark soon.

RDSK Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 From the footage I’ve seen of Clare, him through the middle is the closest thing we’ll get to Naismith. Looks like he can pick the ball up deep and drive us forward too.Desperately missed that on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'd put Clare up front with McLean as he can't play up top on his own, he needs to feed off someone, put Garruccio at left back and have Mitchell left wing, with Morrison on the other wing and get at them down the flanks, give them something to worry about rather than us having to worry about them. Any combination of Djoum, Bozanic, Lee, or Cochrane in the middle of the park would work for us too I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Clare has had no pre-season and is not fully match fit - this I totally acknowledge. I do hope he can get up to speed because in the limited time he has played he has shown absolutely nothing to suggest he is going to meet the sensational reputation he came with. The Derby would be the place to show us what you can do Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of anything else, both those guys need game time. It's time for the squad to step up and i believe we have enough forward thinking players in midfield to cover the loss of Naismith's contribution.

He has played quite a few games for us and he looks like a lost wee boy on the park. He is certainly not the fall guy for the disaster that was Sunday, however he should be nowhere near our team - I would rather have young McDonald than him.
