Top quality players leave for better things. Harkins, Twaddle(although i appreciate his career has stagnated now), Buchanan, Cairney. They all went to SPL clubs(or clubs on the way to the SPL), Erskine has not had a single bid. I'd rather have a player who wins us the league, than an entertaining one who messes up 50% of the time and cost's us a title chance.
I wouldn't have Archibald, but that isnt what this thread is about. It's about Chris Erskine. I support him(as i do all our players) but just cos he can beat 3 players once a season and i don't praise him like Messi then i'm a "boo boy".
He retains the ball least out of all our midfield. He doesn't have the "brains"(for want of a better word) to step up IMO. Too often moves break down when they get to him due to bad positioning and touch.
He is a luxury in the sense that if he's having a bad game the rest of the team can carry him and mask it.
So just because i don't praise every player highly after every game i'm a boo boy?
I've not heard any booing this season. Have you? I've heard groans of disappointment and a couple of frustrated supporters but never actively heard any boos(other than for officials)
