GinRummy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 At his best he’s easily the best midfielder at the club. Right now, I can’t see any reason not to play Devlin in a three man midfield with Nieuwenhof and one of Grant and Fraser. The midfield was totally ineffective yesterday and even though it was against far better players, I do think it’s time to change it up.

If you read my post I used the phrase ‘at his best’ which doesn’t apply right now and also suggested swapping him out for Devlin. We’ve all seen him play very well, win balls he shouldn’t be winning by pinching it off the toes of opponents. Retaining the ball and moving it on. During the 2021/22 season he was pivotal in us getting third but I’m just not seeing it at the moment.

That kinda does make him an incredibly limited player though if that is his skill. I actually think Devlin does that better. We have clearly upped his wages in the new contract offer probably by a 6 figure sum over the year and he isn’t worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He can be a passenger at times, I really would bring Tait in for a start. He done what we should have done early yesterday when he came on, got on top of them and put one up in the air! He’s also the best player we have even at 18 or retaining possession. He gets it passes it then gets it back moving into space all the time. That’s a natural ability right there and I think he deserves a chance from the start, has shown up a lot more than some of the midfielders we have that have played more minutes than him. This isn’t knee jerk to yesterday, I said before the game he should have been starting at Ibrox for all the reasons mentioned. He will sink or swim but what I’ve seen so far from him a derby start wouldn’t phase him in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Didn’t see the game yesterday, only the highlights, so can’t comment on overall performance. Find the reaction to his overall status at the club weird though, he’s been a big part of our great run, and I think some are overlooking that. As for yesterday, from what was said on the radio and online he’s getting stick for the first goal. Only reason it’d be his fault if it was his job to pick up the Rangers player, otherwise it was just good skill that beat him. Almost the exact same skill was used by Iwobi as Fulham beat Man Utd yesterday, happens at all levels. Saying that, every goal - every one - that we conceded yesterday could’ve been dealt with if we had players that didn’t ball watch and could anticipate and intercept better. Players running off markers and into space not being seen / picked up, and passes not anticipated, quite infuriating.

Daktari Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I don't get the fitness thing either. I think he has a 'less than dynamic' style, but when folks say he's not fit, what do they mean? Carrying an injury, or just not aerobically fit? Remember this quote from the 'Evening with the coaches'? It is not a case that the team train in the morning and the players are then off home. There are afternoon sessions that could be on the pitch, perhaps in specific units, or a gym session, while the coaches finish with a meeting as they review the day's training and look ahead to the following day. There was also an interesting insight into some of the data that is collated via the GPS monitors players wear. What appears on a GPS report? Total distance, duration, high-speed running distance, sprinting distance, number of sprints, max velocity. Sunday's training session, for example, saw Stephen Kingsley, Beni Baningime and Alan Forrest cover the most distance. Finlay Pollock, Macaulay Tait, Forrest and Yutaro Oda had the highest high-speed running distance. Kenneth Vargas had the highest number of sprint efforts. The max velocity (metres per second) was Tait followed by Pollock and Forrest. "Everything is monitored," Naismith said. "If somebody is not on it, their numbers are down, it is highlighted. Ultimately it keeps the standards high." Essentially, there is no place to hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Souttar. I'm not actually too fussed if we keep him or not. I think a large number of our attacks fail to progress because Beni will not risk forward passes unless they are 100% on, which means there is zero risk taking from him, breaking down a lot of attacks in their infancy. He's a great defensive mid, but I'd question if we can get a more dynamic player. Tait is already looking like that player, and with Devlin & Hoff both here too, it might not be the worst thing. Completely appreciate we might miss him initially, but if we want to play fast attacking football - which was what Naismith said, then Beni is an issue. The club should push him for a decision. Stick a clock on the offer, and pull it if not accepted. Don't allow our best offer to him to be used as a stocking horse for better offers down south.

If he knew he was struggling he would have snapped our hands off and signed the deal as soon as he was offered it. Sadly some of our fans prefer players that run about kicking the opposition and can’t play 5 yard passes to a team mate to someone who typically wins and retains possession every time he has to. Another summer break and a pre-season should see him back to his pre-injury form hopefully. Sadly, reading the articles, I suspect it won’t be with us but 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
