Benzinho Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Had a dodgy start to the season but has settled down in the last few games and has been much improved, both at the back and going forward. Today in particular, he and Driver linked up really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Wallace is a great prospect capable of playing for a far better team than hearts. Its amazing how a few weeks change things, not long ago he and neilson were the reason we were crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Wallace is a great prospect capable of playing for a far better team than hearts. Its amazing how a few weeks change things, not long ago he and neilson were the reason we were crap I agree hes potentially class, have said it ever since that night at Killie when he scored in the Scottish. His development has slowed since Burley left but still could become a top quality player. Has skill and the ability to beat a man that very few others within the squad have.

thewanderer Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yeh Wallace is really showing this season the why he was so touted as a teenager. He seems to be thriving from actually having a real manager in charge. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five to One Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Looks like Wallace has been told to be more direct as he's looked the part going forward and is improving his defensive capabilities. A Scotland cap in the future surely, especially as Burley has few options at left back. Hutton and Wallace down the flanks would be a great combo.

David Brent Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 In the last few games we have looked particularly dangerous when Lee Wallace makes a run down the line. He also appears to be a good reader of the game. Last Wednesday, when Driver and Obua didn't play too well, Wallace didn't have the confidence to run down the line, but he played the long ball up for Aguiar to head on for Nade's goal. Today, with Driver playing well, Wallace made some great runs and at one point took on 3 defenders and almost forced his way through for a goal. He linked up really well with Driver and Aguiar today and looked very impressive. He's becoming a quality left back and people should be giving him a lot more credit.

Lee Ham Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 If he keeps playing like he has for the last few weeks Burley has to consider him, afterall apart from Gary Naismith who else has he got to compete with, not Broadfoot thats for sure.

Gambo Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Impressed with him in the last few games compared to his early season form. Would like to see him get forward more.

Le Chat Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Would like to see him get forward more. I thought he linked really well with Driver and Bruno in the first half.

Perth to Paisley Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thought an excellent 1st half - did okay in secod And as for getting to their goal - Allan Wells in his prime wouldn't have caught it. Gone through his period of fan abuse and come out a much better player. Looking forward to Zal getting better as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic Username Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've no idea how or when it happened but Lee Wallace is slowly but surely turning into a good left back.

inspector Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Agree with most of the comments posted. He is developing into a reasonable player. Be interesting to see how he copes with better players running at him but looks ok just now. Still not totally convinced but Driver and him looked fairly comfortable going forward until Obua took Driver's wing in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecjambo Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Where are all those fans that were slating him off early this season now? I thought he had a great game.

There was a period of the season where he was murder, i can remember 3 games in a row where he was poor. The problem was we had no-one to play left back so Shabba kept him in the team. What he has done is get focused and work harder, we have to remember that he is still a young lad and will go thru a bad period. I thought yesterday he was outstanding, him and driver linked up really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecjambo Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I will admit he wasnt playing to the best of his ability for a spell. But the abuse he was getting on here was terrible. Im glad he has proved all those doubters wrong but Im sure they will be back to have a go at him once he makes a mistake. If not him then it will be somebody else soon.

Flux Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 does he not play better for the Scotland U-21 team in central midfield where he can concentrate on his forward running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Dover Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 does he not play better for the Scotland U-21 team in central midfield where he can concentrate on his forward running? It just seems to go unnoticed, but over the years there have been several posters ( guys who know his background ) who'll tell you that he's always been a MF player - NOT A FULLBACK ! If we can get him playing well there though, along with Eggy on the right, then we are going to have far more creativity going forward up the flanks from deep positions. On that note.. Did anyone see the wee passing combo he had with Ruben(? ) on the left wing in the 2nd half - couple of gorgeous wee one-twos over the heads of the Falkirk marking players ...........sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 To me this is what the value of Csaba is. I think it is true that the fact we have a real manager does help players confidence but I think Csaba definatly knows how to develop them further. Csaba has always spoken highly of wallace and people have questioned that early on but Lee is now paying him back. Hopefully he keeps going on and on with the development. I think it will be noticable at the end of the season what a difference he has made with the players in terms of coming on with their game and developing. I think Csaba and the quiet but very important Burger are bringing the players especially the youngsters on alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Great to see Wallace's form improving. He has so much potential.

Today in particular, he and Driver linked up really well. Yes he has improved greatly in the last few games and is starting to look more like the player he was a couple of seasons back. The worry is now that his form is improving will Rangers renew their interest in him as they desperately need a left back to cover or replace Papac.
