I think we're now at the stage where we will only be signing replacements for certain outgoings.

If we get rid of Matondo or Wright or even both then surely a wide player must come in. Would rather have Wright than Matondo if it comes to it though.

Davies goes then we get a CB. I don't see us getting one without that happening even though it's been touted.

Yilmaz/Barasic go then we get a LB.

Beale doesnt intend in using "wingers" so wont bring any in.

Why? Whats the score with Davies? Signed for £4M last year and now surplus to demands?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
doesnt fit in with what Beale wants.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Davies wants to play football while Beale wants his defenders to launch it towards the forwards?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
must be it aye

forgetting that the guy replacing him is far more comfortable bringing the ball out the back IMO.

Will be the end of him if he doesn't change that.

Davies isn't as bad as he's made out to be, had a couple of ropey games but also played well for a period alongside Goldson. I don't think we've written him off just that Souttar got ahead of him.

Souttar lost us the game at the weekend so potentially a route back in already. Time will tell but don't see us being desperate to shift him.

Well, letting Sakala go doesn't exactly scream width...?

Will you be changing your handle?

why he has a plan, he wasnt using wingers last season, we didnt use them when we won 55.

plenty of managers done use wingers anymore, have the traditional winger come inside and look to get width using the fullbacks.

there is no one rule for all

Maybe.

I'll still keep an eye out for his offside stats, as Fergie would say (i think about Filippo Inzaghi) the lad was born offside.

Inzaghi was a cvnt and destroyed us before VAR came along

He's got a plan but nobody else can see it and in pre-season plus v Killie it's looked a fookin schite plan.

Granted he's got time but when we won the league we had Kent who would give us width, we desperately needed it on Saturday. It might come together but I personally think he will regret not having at least one decent fast winger.

wrong I can see what he wants to do.

he wants to play two up top with one behind in a free role.

Kent wasnt a winger and never played as a winger for us.... he was the epitimoe of an inside forward. Kent very rarely tried to hit the byline and put a ball in.

Two big problems from Killie game, zero chemistry with the three new faces that can be excused as the entire attacking line is new players, but they need to gel quick.

none of them knew when to drop off, who or when to stretch in behind, peel into the channel etc. pick up the pace developing these relationships on the park.

Said it on here plenty of times, first 4/5 games of the season will be a grind, til the all settle and begin to look more fluid.

I do think we could do with more pace up top but no point in it being a winger IMO.

Get that but the extent to which there was virtually none when football is a pretty simple game and international understanding of positioning and right places to be has got to be a bit worrying.

Two home wins will cure everything.

I think Beale was also a bit guilty of playing the pitch and looked to be too direct which would have also hindered it.

I aint taking the scattergun approach most seem to be of "oh its dire, league is lost we dont have a clue" etc....

Ask me at the end of August.

and the same goes with if we go and blow Servette and Livi out the water in the home games coming up I wont be giving it the big told ye so.

Still got a lot to find out about our new players.

PSV were frighteningly good last night. Some bad finishing and excellent Graz goalkeeping (eventually) kept it sensible.

yup a settled and decent team .... they would be favourites if we play them. That Sangare is a fantastic and Iv been very surprised no EPL team has come sniffing about.
