No_Problemo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hit the bar/post twice, Crawford and Gilmour missed a one on one, numerous excellent saves from Smith and Beattie kicking the ground instead of the ball with an open net. Then Brechin score from a cross, f**k me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mgc1910 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Another hard luck story. Not sure what happened with big Campbell at the equaliser - maybe he misjudged the flight of the ball in the wind or thought the keeper called. Either way, another calamity of a goal. Another game we should have won comfortably but yet another hard luck story. Sick fed up with Beattie and Preston though-completely hopeless. Will this season never end?

Mgc1910 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 No pace, No movement, doesn't hold the ball up, terrified of big ugly centre halves, doesn't know how to use his body to shield a ball, missed a sitter near the end. Actually found myself thinking Shirkie and Donnelly would offer more. Scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingaNinja Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Was actually thinking the same about yourself. Granted he didn't get much change out of Lithogow a couple of weeks ago but to suggest he has no movement or pace is ludicrous. The lad has offered everything our strikeforce lacked in the first half of the season and chipped in with a few goals. Your entitled to your opinion of course but it couldn't be further from the truth tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The "chance" Preston missed at the end, he created himself by going by a few players. Hassled their back line all game, set up chances for others (Beattie and Gilmour) particularly. His header which hit the post was from a tight angle (I think) but he could possibly of done better with that. He was constantly looking to go by playera and create something today, thought he had a good game. The header at the end, again possibly could of done better but not an easy one to take. The suggestion that Donnelly or Shirkie could do better is utterly ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 When was the last time we were 30 points behind Stranraer? Believe it Jesus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sorry, but we are dominating games and not scoring goals. At some point you have to consider the possibility that our forwards might be part of the problem. We are in the verge of relegation to the bottom tier - time for the rose tinted spectacles to come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point you have to consider the possibility that our forwards might be part of the problem. We are in the verge of relegation to the bottom tier - time for the rose tinted spectacles to come off. We have lost the last two games because we can't defend. We conceded 2 in the dying minutes to lose last week whilst dominating the 2nd half, then score 2 today and watch a cross ball go clean in to draw. Creating and scoring is not the problem, giving away stupid goals and defending like school boys is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Brian Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 F**k off Ayr you hopeless b*****ds. Calm down. You have to wait for a team to go bust first before you can gain promotion via the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 McCall needs to take a fair share of the blame too. His team selection was a joke. Murray and Gilmour were never going to offer any width or pace in the wide areas. Robertson can't run (is he really an improvement on Scott McLaughlin?). Devlin is a waste at centre half (someone please tell McCall he offers so much more at RB, particularly going forward. Couple that with an ineffective and pace free forward line and it's not hard to see why we are where we are. Did I hear right at the end? Did Gilmour get MOTM? Crawford was the best player on the park by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city_gord Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I see on SSN that Tapping got sent off for an Ayr player diving . Any truth in that one ? As mentioned Tapping got his first yellow for diving, I was too far away to see it clearly so couldn't tell you if it was a dive or not. Second yellow was a tad harsh but he was very lucky not to be booked earlier for pulling and Ayr player down by the neck, so a red was probably merited overall. We were poor again, especially 2nd half and should have been 3 or 4 down before we equalised. We can thank Smith in goal for that. He had a good game. The only others getting pass marks were Pabs, Gerry and Andy Jackson for his first half performance. Hopefully we can get something next week but it won't be easy!

Crawford was the best player on the park by a country mile. If our forward line was so poor combined with no width, why did we create so many chances? We could and should of scored about six. Also don't think Tapping dived, Hutton got a hand to the ball then took him down from what I could see. We need to start turning these better performances into wins though, it should be 9 from 9 but instead it's 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rector Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 We have lost the last two games because we can't defend. We conceded 2 in the dying minutes to lose last week whilst dominating the 2nd half, then score 2 today and watch a cross ball go clean in to draw. Creating and scoring is not the problem, giving away stupid goals and defending like school boys is. Scoring is most definitely a significant part of the problem, given the barrel-load of chances, sitters, we have missed in the last three games. If even a couple of those had been put away we would not be talking about our dreadful defence and we would be all but safe. But there is no way on God's green earth Donnelly and Shirkie would be an improvement on Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
