Hanley?

Trying to take some positives from yesterdays game. What do you boys make of Hanley? What’s his strengths / weaknesses and what‘s his form been like this season? Pity we didn’t bring on Rhodes instead of Miller as I’ve always been impressed by his skills and attitude.
Anyway good luck for the rest of the season guys and any opinions would be appreciated

He's had some absolute blinders for us and, with him being still young, could easily become a very good centre back. There's a reason Man United were rumoured to be interested in him not too long back.

With that being said, he's still mistake prone and is not the most agile centre back but he is tough.

I reckon he'll come good.

Agree we need to give Rhodes a run of games - along with the promising youngsters. Use the rest of the group games to blood them as we’re fecked anyway. We have to freshen up the team as the usual suspects have had their chance so lets plan for the future. Oh and play to our strengths and play a pressing game; move the ball quicker and lets play a centre forward that can finish. I’d be happy wi Rhodes and Fletcher every game

Cheers SKA I like the sound of that. As you say he’s young so that would explain the inconsistency. He struck me as being nails and Bellamy was nae too happy wi him. I've always liked my CB's to put themselves about

Looked decent once he settled, the first half hour though he looked terrible.

Need to get him a good partner if he is to succeed though. Not one coming through though.

Esc we have to as we would aw get behind the youngsters and cut them some slack and I’d be willing to accept defeats as part of their learning curve. We’ve got feck all to lose - we cannae drop much further in the rankings and it’d give us some hope for the future. Strachan needs to develop this team as it’s shocking at the moment. I cringe when I see our defence and midfield options that he’s persisting with

Bluenose aye I can't think of one decent CB. Had hopes for Wilson but can't remember any other Scottish CB I thought 'aye, he looks the part'

I liked the look of Hanlon at Hibs, although not seen him play for a while.

Personally i never rated Wilson as a defender, I think he could have made a good sitting midfielder though, as he isn't strong enough to outmuscle strikers, nor pace to get beyond them.

With that being said, he's still mistake prone
