Had a stinker. Lost most of his headers until the second half. Lost the ball a few times and seemed to go into his shell for a while. Beaten for pace by Connor Sammon.
Not sure if serious

Sammon is very fast

He is too slow to get that experience in that position though. How many times do you take him getting burned before he gets the hang of it?
I remember Derek Whyte,he was quick but got more pish with experience.Not as long as that.
:lol: :lol: excellent point :thumbsup:

Think he'll eventually make a very good holding midfielder, he's not a centre half IMO

He had a very poor game last night, hopefully he can put that behind him and move on.

He was fine last night. He will get better.

You'll never coach a lack of pace out of someone??? :lol:

We've had Toure, Ajer, O'Connell, Efe, Boyata, Jozo, Bitton, Erik, Lustig, Kieran in Prague, and next possibly Compper at CB under Brendan.

what I want is for us to have an agreement, preferably in writing, with only two first choice defenders guaranteed a start then another two putting pressure on them with perhaps someone happy just to be a bit part player in reserve. We don't even require specialist Centre Backs, more players like Lustig who have spent an entire career on the flank can fill in.

Boyata is afforded time by some in his late twenties because he hasn’t played a huge amount of football in his career.

Ajer is 19 and learning a new position but needs to learn quickly.

Hmm
Yes, Boyata has not come in for any criticism at all on these boards :rubeyes:

I don't see many people affording him some time.

Even when he has a good game (v Sevco last time out for example) he doesn't have a good game :lol:

At least he takes the ball out from the back and moves us further up the pitch at times. Not really had anyone who has done that well from defence since Van Dijk left.

Given a bit of time I think he’ll be very good for us. Over the past month or so, he’s been the least of our worries which is a backhanded compliment in a way, as he was dropped into a defence and team that had just taken an absolute doing at Tynecastle. To have come through the six games since and have only conceded one goal, via a penalty, is not bad going at all.

Just watched his presser. Seems a lot older than 19. Hope he keeps his place tomorrow. Only one goal conceded since he came in.

Aye ye did. "You will never develop pace."
Yes. And 'develop' was taken completely out of context. :thumbsup: By develop I meant pace could not be coached into someone who didn't have any; not the perfectly obvious statement that pace can be improved. It's really simple. Slow players can not be turned into quick players no matter how long you spend on coaching. You can make marginal improvements but that is all they will ever be. In Anthony Ralston's case (who was the player under discussion) a lack of pace is always going to be an issue. It can't be coached out of him. Improved slightly, yes. Eradicated - never. :thumbsup:
You could probably say the same about any aspect of playing. You could've worked on and improved Alan Thompson's close control, but you're never going to turn him into a tricky winger who can dribble past everyone. There's plenty in Ajer's game that he can make incremental improvements on, but there's signs of promise there too. If he was Scottish he'd probably be a regular international, but I think that says more about the competition there than his ability and experience :lol:

Good enough at domestic level, will get murdered for pace in Europe.
