Couldnt make the game today, but i think the past few weeks have been a reality check for the fans.
The first few games, we were playing shite, but winning games. I was hopeful this would carry on throughout the season, but now were getting found out at the back.
To put it simply, we are not good enough to win this league. No way will we be up there with Airdrie and Ross County at the end of the season, not a chance.
This team cant score, unless its from a set piece.
Its gonna be a loooong season!
Long ball (often colloquially referred to as 'hoofball') is the term used in association football to describe an attempt, often speculative, to distribute the ball a long distance down the field via a cross, without the intention to pass it to the feet of the receiving player.
It is a technique that can be especially effective for a team with either fast or tall strikers. The long ball technique is also a through pass from distance in an effort to get the ball by the defensive line and create a foot race between striker and defender.[1] While often derided as either boring or primitive,[2] it can prove effective where players or weather conditions suit this style; in particular, it is an effective counter-attacking style of play in which some defenders can be caught off-guard. - Wikipedia
