foxbar_bud Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yes , but Thistle had too much possession in the final third , so move the "shite Mair" into the back four and move the "shite" defender Goodwin into his best position , protecting the back four ? Im not convinced Goodwin has the legs to do that role anymore and thats why hes retained his position at the back For me Mair is much of a muchness with our other centre halfs, thats not saying much about any of them to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanarkshire_Bud Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 So the transfer window has come and gone, expect Danny to reintegrate Mair back into the squad now he knows that he can't offload him. He is on a good wedge, whether Danny fancies him or not isn't the issue, we have a piss thin squad, we are paying him.....so bloody well use him. Shocker.

Soctty Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Mair will have a point to prove, and hopefully we'll see him playing well if given the chance. I agree he's not our saviour, just another option in central defence, which is handy when those playing there aren't performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newco buddie Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Too many people are forgetting that Mair is, well, shite. He's one of few SPL defenders who shouldn't get a game ahead of McAusland, McGregor or Goodwin. Are you havin a laugh cheezy and goodwin have been pure pash all season let mcgregor and mair in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray7 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Mair is in the squad for tomorrow. So much for the manager 'freezing him out'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAWZ Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'd go for Mair and McGregor as the pairing. I think, and always have thought, that Goodwin is way over-rated and certainly not a central defender. Hopefully Lenzo and Mairzo both see this as an opportunity to put Mairzo in the "shop window" for January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norrie82 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Goodwin is not rubbish. Cheesy has been v v poor this season and deserves a rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Duke Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'd have Lee Mair back in defence, no question. The problem is though, while the Tommy Craig and the puppet whose strings he pulls, Danny Lennon, continue to get the players to fanny about with the ball at the back, we will continue to ship goals.

SouthSection5 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Unfortunately, Goodwin's absolutely rubbish in midfield too. 100% disagree. Against Thistle, in the first half, we looked the most threatening going forward when Goodwin got the ball in the middle of the park and charged forward. He should start at CM.

leolovesstmfc Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I am not a mair fan but I would play him against motherwell. He is a CB Goodwin is not. Mair and mcausland as the cb's and caprice at rb in place of van zanten. Goodwin should start cm just in front of the defence. Magregor can replace either mair or cheesy. Newton can come on for Goodwin if as people say his kegs have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windae cleaner Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 How the hell can anyone who's seen the opening games still want cheesy playing? He's been a joke FFS! It isn't a case of wanting him playing. They won't thrown Naismith in yet and i think McGregor isn't trusted in there anymore, A centre half should have been required over the summer to give competition to Cheesy as the edge has gone from his game. According to Billy G we were meant to be bringing in a centre half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsuMirren Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Lee Mair is under contract so I expect we'll be looking for a transfer fee. We offered him a % of his wage. Hardly the sign of a club desperate for a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud77 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I always find it strange when a player is told he is free to find another club and if the player in question does not find another club (for whatever reason) he is invited back into the first team set-up after being excluded. It usually suggests that either (i) the Manager is actually unsure of who his best players actually are (ii) the Manager is admitting that the team is struggling in said player's position or (iii) the Manager is being influenced by supporters in the stands/on radio phone-ins/internet forums. I have noticed since Danny Lennon took over that he seemed determined to get rid of as many of the players he inherited from the previous management regime as quickly as possible. I know that is pretty much bog-standard of any manager coming in but the problem was he let a lot go and then replaced them with many guys who were simply not up to the job. This summer he did the same thing and failed to replace them. I just think that if Danny decides that he is going to drop one of the central defenders he is contradicting himself. He gave us the impression that he was happy without Lee Mair and allowed him to find another Club. Mair said he was staying to fight his place. Danny didn't put him in the squad and sticks with what he has. I don't think Marc McAusland necessarily deserves to be dropped. I think Jim Goodwin needs some time on the side-lines but do we honestly think that Danny will drop a man he brought in and made Captain? No chance he'll drop Goodwin. So, if he decides to drop McAusland and replaces him with Mair, he's suggesting that McAusland isn't up to the task just now and he's replacing him with a guy he told was free to find another club and surplus to requirements? The mind boggles! or (iv) the player in question got stuck in at training to fight for his place in the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest somner9 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Lee Mair is staying! perhaps he and his clique might consider it time to stop stabbing the manager in the back then..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeBud Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 perhaps he and his clique might consider it time to stop stabbing the manager in the back then..? Somner9, I'm not saying you're wrong but I've never seen evidence of him "stabbing the manager in the back" (despite looking)..............could you provide me a link as I'd think this kind of direct behaviour would potentially be a sacking offence which could be a win/win situation for the manager.
