EE: Walker to remain at Pittodrie?

[rocket_scientist]

I don't think we can use the Coopers and Hewitts as good examples of blooding youngsters relating to the team today. They had the strength and experience of Miller, Mcleish, Bobby Clark, Joey Harper, Bill Scanlon, Stewart Kennedy, Drew Jarvie, John McMaster etc - experienced pros who were GOOD players who took the pressure off the young lads. The problem today is that we have no good experienced players to take the pressure off - we throw in the youngsters and expect them to produce since they have shit around them.

If we stuck a 19 yr old Eric Black or John Hewitt up front today I'd half expect they'd be booed off the park for being pish - the expectation, pressure, and lack of service and quality around them wouldn't help and it would be too difficult.

 

Y'know the smiley that puts a couple of hands up to applaud a previous post? Well I wish to engage that right now. I would also wish to emphasise the correctness, the very essence of truism, with wot u wrote in the wurds that I highlighted in a bolder text than the rest of it... copied, pasted and altered... above.
