At one point he passed the ball right to GMS for no reason.

He was unlucky when he rounded the keeper and the defender deflected it wide,he made some decent runs but his crossing wasn't great.I can think of 8 players who were worse than him on Thursday but to be fair I think they will all improve when they have more game time under their belt.
Oh aye, I`d start with GMS. And Stewart. AND Stockley.
We all know the danger with Stockley and his elbow. But surely Deek & Doc will have been working on that ???
big danger with the Bosnians is the way they go down if you bat an eyelid at them. They`ll be worse at home.
They only need to sit back , draw us in , and hit on the break. 0 - 0 is eniough for them.
So we need to go for a " quick " goal wiithout leaving space at the back,....................mind you , scoring the one goal of the game in the 89th mniute would do us too. Just won`t be that enjoyable for us sunseekers !!!
I was very surprised how the Belgian Ref turned all soft an easily conned by the second half, as he seemed ok in the first half. Lets just hope ALL our players watch it.
Exactly,someone said on here the other day he is our best striker since Shearer who also did little of note apart from score.Bit before my time but I've been told Harper was the same.
Rooneys 77 goals have won us a hell of a lot of games,I would rather have a striker who scores goals than one who contributes other skills but doesn't score as much.
It's not a put down on Rooney. This game will need a plan that does not play to his strengths.
We need a lone striker up front towin the ball in the air , and lay it off to our other players . It also needs a lone striker who is mobile and can hold the ball up on the ground ,and again bring our supporting players into the game.
That's not Rooney'a game. And that's why he didn't start against Rijeka away. Goodwillie did.
And now we have Stocklwy and Maynard to try and provide us with that .
And you'll probably see the same against Celtic too. If we still play a lone striker .
I can't disagree with that,there are games where we need something more than Rooney can offer.Not sure about Maynard McInnes said he is similar to Rooney in he will score if you give him a chance and by Thursday night he doesn't seem like he will offer more than that.
Just think some people are being harsh on Rooney because he offers nothing apart from his goal scoring. Yet for 20 odd years every one has been complaining we don't have a goal scorer in the team :?
