On top of Idah we definitely need another centre back, going into European games with scales is an absolute no no . Poor passing, panics on the ball, gets caught out quite regularly, and that’s against mediocre forwards. He has hardly played well since Xmas tbh. I’ve said before he’s a squad player at best.
On a side note where has wee des disappeared to, he came on argued the boards case at every opportunity then disappeared again? Maybe he now realises the board are going to shaft us again with a few loans in a panic at the end of the window.

WeeDes was a troll. Once people stopped feeding him he disappeared.

I can't understand why Scales kicks the ball 4 yards in front of him when no one is close but when he kicks it that far in front of him opposition gets a chance to steal the ball away. He dose that in most games in Europe we will get punished almost every time. Get a new CB in sharpish Celtic.

I gave Scales a lot of credit last week, but today unfortunately he made several mistakes and his touch was heavy most of the game.
I have to add that CCV also had a few poor touches as well and ut is definitely an area we need to improve for Europe and difficult games.

Totally agree we need a new CB. The speed this board move at maybe get one in by season 27-28.

I think if most of the positions that a lot off the fans if not most are not achieved by the end of this window, The board will have to hide or come up with some great excuse for not getting players In for those positions. Bringing on MJ as a striker is just embarrassing and scandalous. What next if Greg Taylor gets injured will we bring on our substitute Goalkeeper? Who ever that is for that game. It's just shocking and embarrassing.

I have said for a while Scales needs replacing. He has more touches than any other of our players and does the least amount with it.
Poor Kyogo was screaming at him many times today as he had made great runs and Scales had the chance to pass to him and put him through on goal but no, a sideways pass or one in between our and their player.
He gives the ball away so often, against better opposition we are going to get punished heavily.
He just panicks when he is closed down and he at times today made GT's life hard with silly passes or headers.
Not good enough I am afraid for first team regular.

Defensively GT also makes his own life hard (effective going forward) … between Scales and GT the left side of our defence will get seriously exploited by better teams if we don’t upgrade…. I actually think CCV’s game is negatively affected playing with Scales.

I’ve defended Scales a lot and criticised Taylor a lot but the truth is they’re both limited. Both have done well with the opportunity given to them and have had some great games, we need better though and should be able to get it. The fact we still only have one LB is ridiculous.
