Also it was Souttar, Halkett, White and Washington's first game time this pre-season so wont be as up to speed as others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambomjm74 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Reality is we don’t have a good enough midfield... plenty of bodies.. but missing a player who can dictate the play.

That was probably our weakest area before Djoum left and with Lee looking to be on the move we could really do with a couple of quality additions in there. Walker wasn't injured it is just a precaution, you'd be the first to blame Levein if he'd played him with a knock and he'd been injured as a result.

Morph Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 There’s no point getting wound up about results just now, dont think any of our squads in these friendlies have been full strength. Next Friday will be the first proper indicator of where we are after pre season. Hopefully see a strong team out. Shame about walker today but we knew the risks when signing him and doubt it’ll be the only time where he will sit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 It’s just a shitty friendly. If we fail to beat Dundee Utd next Friday then the pressures on. Levein I suspect knows this. That is the game we need to give our absolute best. If we win that, the rest of the games can be used to give guys a run out and experiment with partnerships. What we take from this week fitness wise is the main thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettigrewsstylist Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, cocobeab said: A few half time thoughts, Moore, White, Cochrane and Bozanic no won a fifty fifty yet. Be expecting a bit more from each. Full backs weak in the air, Halkett looks a player, Cochrane playing deeper than Bozanic means we don’t go forward at all, both keen on going back. Mulraney and Edwards look to be keen and have energy but never on the ball enough Wighton tries hard but again without any end product. Washington looks to have ability and been busy, not a big guy tho, not winning much in air. Goal was a disaster for Cochrane whose head has been down since. Fully aware it’s a pretty season run out all just by way of observation Thanks for update. Cochrane should be further up pitch than Boz every day of the week.

Captain Canada Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I'll care properly about results when the season starts properly and we have a team like the one below starting: Bobby, Smith, Souttar, Berra, White, Mulraney, Haring, Clare, Edwards, Walker & Uche. Our bench could be along the lines of: Doyle, Halkett, Hickey, Cochrane, Bozanic, Washington and MacLean I've not included Naismith as he won't be playing for us until August.
