Read the quote. There is clearly credit to him where I say "He may have played well in the centre of defence as deputy to McKenna and fair play to him"Quote:

No need to make a veiled compliment and specify the centre of defence.Quote:

Strangely he’s been one of our best defenders this season, arguably just ahead of Devlin on account of his crucial blocks and clearances.
But you wouldn’t recognise that.
Being objective doesn't mean you are in any fan club.Quote:

He is our poorest defender
Indeed. Being objective allows you to criticise when warranted and praise / defend when needed.Quote:

ShinnieQuote:

For starters he isn’t even a left back,he is a centre back who plays more often than not at left back.Probably down to the club tradition of not playing an actual left back since David Robertson went to the dead club.
And disputed above from a number of posters ;)Quote:

Devlin has played really well.
Ball has grown into the role in recent matches
Shinnie is very good, but also put the team at risk on a couple of occasions whilst playing left back.
McKenna, good in the 1 1/2 games he's played but out now.
Maybe, but he's outplaying the rest of the defence at the momentQuote:
