nor when Vassel is there, evidently.

Noticed nobody had a go at him, in hindsight Halkett should play against Kilmarnock.

Its clear when he has played better and we’ve looked more solid then. Glad we’ve sorted that.

 

and too coin your favourite phrase. We’re not bipolar in defence. We’ve been consistently shit all season 
 

Enjoy your weekend

Clark Shanks Kent and Grant wanted to leave in summer. Clark was linked to bigots, Shanks to sevco. Kent and Grant wanted to go back down south.

Posters on here saying Grant was told heis free to go , so what's stopping him ? 

Kent was interviewed recently and was absolutely ecstatic about playing European football and winning against Minsk.

I think there is a clique there with Grant, Kent, Clark and Shankland. 
 

Shankland wanting away, Clark wanting away and Grant getting moved on has left Kent being perhaps unhappy.

 

Clark and Shankland have been badly advised by their agents. Kent and Grant can go.

This is 100% not true at all, he looks to play out as fast as he can and his distribution from his throws is really good.

Kicking, yeah, that's shite.

Btw the folk slating CG's footwork (which isn't as good as it was) needs to look at ZC's. ZC does this awful thing where pushes off from the leg on the opposite side of his body than the shot is heading at him. It makes it look like he just falls down, sideways, slowly. CG pushes off with the furthest foot first then uses the near foot as an additional spring to get across more. It's why CG is far more likely to save shots than ZC. That's not even taking into consideration his positional sense at 1 on 1's is better and he makes himself bigger when facing a shot. ZC jumps of the ground for some reason leaving lots of space underneath him.

We do need a better keeper for next year though. CG is just still a better keeper than ZC at the moment.

Grant was free to go the season he was dropped from our European squad. He’s hardly played out his skin to get back in the managers plans. Injuries and poor recruitment have given him a chance imo.

He does something similar that a goalie coach pointed out to me last season. Whenever he faces a long range shot, instead of setting himself he does this little jump on the spot. It’s like a tic that he can’t control. Trouble is it affects his reaction time. Probably why he loses so many shots from range.

Another kickFACT. He’ll pass/throw as quick as he can and gets visibly pissed off when no one shows for it.

Yeah I've noticed that too sometimes.

Yeah there was several times on Wednesday night he was raging that no one had made a run or was showing for the quick pass out.

Good post, now you have noticed that, I’ve noticed it, how in the world has the GK coach not noticed it.

Another good point not addressed by the coach.

Nobody will buy him or pay him what we do, Peterborough couldn’t wait to get rid of him, he lasted less than a year there before he came here. 

[Hesh]

Had hoped to see Harry Stone playing tonight but see he’s on the bench

It is true, he just pretends to look for a quick pass but then shrugs his shoulders.

Completely disagree with that, its something Gordon has always been slow with. His first spell with us he was the same, would run forward with the ball in his arms, stop and then take time to roll it out to a player. Not that some times its not justified for him to stop with people not around him, but its part of the way he has always played.

Zander Clarke is a horrendous keeper and I can't wait until he's out the door, it would also reduce the rangers element within the dressing room which would be a massive plus 👍🏻

I think its a bit of a ploy to create space as opposition players run back to cover.

People making shit up. There was rumours Frankie Kent also wanted away which is utter nonsense. I deal with Frankie and his girlfriend through my work and he never wanted away. 

I'd be happy if we ripped up some contracts by mutual consent. Starting with Mackay and Grant.
