    NO! Maj may have been poor recently but he isn't as bad as Glenda. Our strongest partnership is Wilson and Mulgrew/Rogne

    Rogne is still untested for me. Big Maj needs to go, the balls over the top are attempted by every team we play, and it's exploited, already I've seen Wilson playing like a sweeper to cover this * up. I'd defo try Wanyama here.

    we should have bought a cb in the window as our defence is poor and shows how bad it is that we want him back,is his and majs up next year then we will get a decent cb in

    Agree we should've secured a CB, Loovens is not the answer.

    He's just a bit powder puff for me, anyone that gets nudged off the ball by Kenny Miller needs a boot in the baws. :rolleyes:

    A bit like Sammy for me as well in that he's a confidence player, I think he's well aware he's a common scapegoat and it creates fear in his game. He's had a few right stinkers, in some high profile games as well.

    Wouldn't trust him any more than Danny.

    He isnt a scapegoat, he is just pretty poor. Has been responsible for some pretty poor decision making along with general bad play. Own goal against the Orcs? Penalty against ICT last year? Just two that sprang to mind.

    Too stiff as a centre back and nowhere near commanding enough. Rogne is a far safer bet. Has had some unjustified stick due to a poor performanec in the League Cup final, but was rushed into it.

    A better CB pairing would be Wilson and Mulgrew/ Rogne.

    Loovens isnt good enough.

    Loovens is *.

    Mulgrew and Wilson should be the main defenders for the rest of the season.

    For all his faults, I actually think he is a decent enough player. Was by far and away better than Kelvin Wilson today and is a real threat from attacking set pieces, was unlucky not to score and had that gone in, I am in no doubt we would have won the game today.

    When mulgrew is back from suspension I would like to see Mulgrew and loovens given an extended run together as a partnership, because I think its one that could definately work.

    Alot of people will disagree, just because they don't like him and because he is the whipping boy of our team. But I think he is a better player than K. Wilson and would prove that if he is given a run in the team next to mulgrew

    One of our better performers today and was unlucky with the one off the post.

    Not singling him out today because all of the team were at fault.

    But the last time he played from the start against Rangers did we not lose four goals as well? The first derby of last season? Or has he played since then against them?

    He was * aswell, ragdolled again and terrible at defending crosses in to the box. The only good thing I saw was him putting his head on the line to try and keep out Laffertys goal. Loovens hasnt been good enough since he got here, save for a handful of games.

    He was * not strong enough for a defender of his size he is a * * ffs.

    Unlucky not to have scored give him credit for that.
