tartofmidlothian Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I liked the way he was last off the pitch and stayed behind to applaud the fans today, it says a lot about the guy. He played well too, in a very unglamorous role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingAboutObua Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Got quite the applause for doing it too. Surprised no one else saw it and did it with him tbh. His first half I thought was really good, unfortunately second I think covering defence and trying to counter attack wasn’t really his best type of game at his age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other threads praising some players but saying the team was shit. The whole team needs to take responsibility for that second half and make sure it doesn't happen again.

I don't think Whelan stood out particularly , but especially in the first half his presence helped Clare and Irvine. Clare, Halkett and Washington were the only decent players today over the whole game imo. If Washington had scored the goal where he taken that lovely touch he would have been mom, but unfortunately not to be.

OTT Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 As soon as Souttars back I'd be dropping Berra, IMO that leaves Whelan and Naismith candidates for captaincy, given Naismith now struggling to give us 90 minutes, I'd say Whelan for captain.

I don't think we have the coaching experience in that dressing room. Guys like JJ & BB made a good team because one of them could always roast the team when needed. Someone like Peter Houston could come in and offer that IMO, he's worked with Levein before and would help massively get things back on track. Although, now it looks like things have gone too far to have someone like that come in to help sort things and save face. I think we need a complete removal of Levein as Manager. Let someone experienced come in with his own guys and fix things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was decent in first half but to say best player by a country mile is a gross exaggeration. Clare was best player in first half and probably shaded the best player on the day. That all said I like Whelan and there’s no doubt he can prove to be a very reliable and consistent performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not, I pulled up a poster that said he was 'different class'. Do you honestly think his performance today was different class? He didn't stand out above Irvine for me today and I thought he was very average. He's a player that played numerous games for a championship side last year and I feel he didn't stand out at all.
