I don’t know him personally but when watching ,it looks like he could do with a few nights out in the real world, see what life’s about etc,I don’t mean Gazza with fivebellies,but something similar...him,a couple of mates and someone trusted overseeing things to have a few bevvies a couple of times a week [forget the gym nights] and feel life’s ok pissing people off now and then with charm and arrogance, he looks so short on confidence,although scoring just lacking the step up and progressing to the next level ,I wouldn’t mind putting a few quid in to the said confidence nights out🍺 thoughts? If I could just add to that I think he’s quite immature, I follow Cochrane on Instagram. He’s hilarious to be honest but Wighton was the butt of most of his jokes, for someone who is 4 years older than him it seemed quite strange. To be crude I think he needs a good night out as you say and to be ****ed senseless by someone more experienced 😱😆. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haj Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Why is it that Robbie gets such a hard time from certain elements of our support? Just the other week I was reading that this squad are 'rotten to the core' and that Robbie's style of play is pish, but we beat Hibs at Hampden and came within 2 pens of beating Celtic. Add to that we're scoring goals for fun in this league which isn't something 'Premiership clubs' have always been able to do. Is it a hangover from the anti-robbie crew from his first stint who are too proud to admit he's doing an orite job? Or do some folk genuinely just hate how he sets his teams up? Each to their own an that but it just seems weird to me that folk are still getting pissed off when we're winning just about every week, especially after everything we've had to go through in the last 2 seasons.

Of the players you have mentioned in your replies there are at least 3 I’d be pleased with if we signed them. Anyhoo, round and round in circles we could go on this.

Bazzas right boot Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I think smith might end up at ch soon, if not next season, the year after. I'd be discussing that now with him, his choice tho. If he's happy with that, we have Smith, Souttar and Halkett all good enough at ch for a top 4 push imo. All right sided tho so I'd be after a left sided defender. If Berra goes, then Popescu is there to cover at ch and lb as well. We'd need a rb if that played out.

All right sided tho so I'd be after a left sided defender. If Berra goes, then Popescu is there to cover at ch and lb as well. We'd need a rb if that played out. We have an international right back nearing the end of his career who might not even be here next season. If he is here, switching him to centre half when he will have another year on the clock would be madness. Souttar I really fear for. That’s 3 huge injuries in 5 years he has had. Is he ever going to be 100% again ? And for how long ? Halkett was awful in the Prem last season, as was Berra. I’ve seen nothing this season to say they’d be any better next season. Popescu is just a bad signing and that’s all there is to it. He’s not even good enough for the championship. if we keep Smith and Kingsley, we need 2 good centre half’s with Halkett as cover or maybe one of a back 3. That’s before you even talk about cover at full back of which we have none apart from White at the moment. Midfield we’d get away with although there’s not much pace there. Wide we need one possibly 2 Up front we need at least one and probably 2. I make that around 7-8 new players, assuming we don’t lose anyone we’d want to keep, like Smith for example.
