Dandys1983 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 1 hour ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: He didn’t change the shape. We were 3-5-2 when we won 8 in a row. A few things happened IMO. We ran out of the good fortune we were getting in that 8 game run. The players lost were replaced by inferior ones. Ramadani was inexplicably not replaced. Roos reverted to type. Duk lost his mojo. He did change the style we went to 1 up top and favoured a more counter attacking system this season god knows why instead of pressing the opposition, Best performance I seen under Robson was the 3-0 win over Hearts nearly a year ago last March we were outstanding that first half. Still believe Mccorie has been sorely missed this season. Lots of work for the new manager when he comes in as I believe Dave will let who ever comes in this time have free reign over the squad, so id expect alot of losses on players luckily we will get a few million for Miovski so will cover losses and expenditure.

God knows what came over Robson when he decided to change the style and shape of the side over the summer. He went to see athletico madrid and spent time with simeone on the training pitch. BRs style was modelled on theirs. Surprised that wasn’t obvious to you 🤔😂 Link to comment

Dons21 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Just watched a video on BBC Sport. An ultra from German Team Darmstadt after a 6-0 defeat at the weekend. Dressing down all the players & coaches. Not a clue what he was saying but giving them it tight. Not sure how to post videos on here but would love to give our shower a peace of my mind. Link to comment

Schapenneuker Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We've had worse full backs than Devlin over the last few years. He puts a good shift in, and he's a surprisingly decent attacking option. As pointed out somewhere in this/another thread, maybe Devlin and the rest of the defence would cut out the individual errors if we could hold on to the ball for more than 30% of the time or whatever it was.

I agree that McCrorrie was better, as was Ramsay, but since the hearts game aside, he’s had a good season. Looks devoid of confidence now, but they all do. miovski and Devlin (until recently) have been out best performers this season. we all see things differently though Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 A Full back playing in the full back position. We’ve bigger problems. Remember people saying exact same thing about Logan. That’s not to give Devlin a free pass either. Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 1 hour ago, RUL said: He tries hard but hes not good enough for afc imo. A very likeable guy who will give everything On his very best days he's good enough. On his average days he's never going to be the kind of player that takes us to where we want to be. On his worst days he is costing us goals. I can see an argument (fairly good argument) for signing tried and tested, solid SPL centre backs who just defend and clear the ball - examples from recent opponents - Liam Gordon, Gogic, Mugabe. These guys are never going to set the world alight but they are solid tried and tested defenders at our level. The problem for Devlin is that in most systems these days a lot is expected of the RB / RWB - they need to be solid defensively and also contribute a lot to the attack as they tend to provide most of the width in the systems we've been playing. He's just not good enough for what is one of the key positions in the team. Agree with others though that you can't fault his commitment and effort. Also agree with comments that if we had a more confident goalkeeper behind him, and if we actually had more possession rather than being under attack constantly, I'm sure he wouldn't be making the mistakes he is at the moment.

Dandys1983 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Devlin is a good back up at SPL level can fill in at RB and CB but as for starting next season we should be looking elsewhere especially if the new man likes a wing back, as looking over Europe 3-5-2 has become more favourable for sides since the the new year. Robson the trend setter. 😳 Link to comment
