Leaves too much room for attackers and makes too many mistakes. Recently you’d be struggling to find many instances of these mistakes, was playing very well before his knock both defensively & getting forward. Still, even if that were the case I’d rather we had a guy comfortable going forward at fullback in the 26/38 games a season that we’re outright favourites in than someone who’s good defensively but overly cautious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the other way round these days Thought he was pretty horrible in both senses and his tracking back was woeful. He'd wander up the pitch, we'd lose the ball and get counter-attacked and he would just walk back, or he would defend from a CM/DM position rather than as a right back. I know full backs often double up as DMs these days but didn't feel like that was what he was doing and he just seemed lost and a little lazy (although perhaps that was to do with his health). Although gutted to see a player with health issues I was pretty glad to see that back of him. Lembikisa is such a big improvement.

My main memory of him was against Rangers where he kept Sima (think its him) quiet before going off with medical issue. Sima then ripped us apart.

i8hibsh Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The boy is shite. There are lots of shite players in the EPL, you will see this with the incomings at Easter Road in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull's-eye Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 He obviously wasn't remotely fit when sent on his rehab course to us. Loaning players from big clubs with all the obvious caveats involved isn't something we should be dabbling in in my opini9n, but I do understand the need to keep lines of communication open with the big boys.

It wasn't a rehab course, it was an undetected medical issue. He was sent back to Brighton nearly 6 months ago now and he's obviously recovered from it? What's the problem? I'm (unlike others for some reason) happy to see the laddie doing well. He did nothing wrong when he was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I'm probably one of the few who didn't think he was that bad at all and thought he was pretty solid. Not great but did fine especially since he never got a proper run in the team. Dundee away being an exception as he was poor that day, but apart from that I really don't see why he got so much criticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaps Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 He’s never a RWB in a million years despite us being told he can play that position. Looked like he was towing a caravan. Good luck to the lad and glad is health looks to be on the up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
