    Would have done a job as a lone striker better than Stokes, anyone disagree?

    you missed out the '****in'.

    I'd have done a better job than Stokes.

    True but Stokes is no good at hand jobs.

    I watched the Standard Zenith game in the pub before the game last night.

    Only saw Watt touch the ball once - a weak shot from outside the box.

    We had Griffiths on the bench - Griffiths would do a better job than either of them <grr>

    No chance!!

    Stokes hardly a scapegoat, midfield offered nothing and Stokes had little to work with

    I'm not blaming stokes but he can't play up on his own it's not his game.

    Stokes is a just-above-average SPL standard striker. And that sums our team up in general - just-above-SPL standard.

    We don't have a target man, so it is unfair to have a go at Stokes. The midfield struggled to pass to each other at times and then Stokes was having to deal with some high balls getting pumped up to him.

    If we had Samaras playing, he could have done a job dealing with high balls and holding the ball up..... but no we f**ed him off and haven't replaced him.

    This is a sore one to take, getting dumped out of the CL twice in successive rounds, but MON never had European football in his first season, nor did Lenny. As tough as no CL is, we need to realise Deila has had a f**-off big step up in standards and needs to be given time to get bedded in. He has f**ed up in spectacular style twice now, but I'm happy to give him more slack, as long as he shows that he is learning and adapting.

    Samaras was the worst lone striker I have ever seen, did a job on the wing but never as a striker.
