SandyCromarty Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It's a very bad defeat and one that the team should be thoroughly ashamed of, however they must look upon this as bad as it gets and come Monday each and everyone must take the blame and shame and endeavour to move on together as a team.

No_Problemo Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The alarm bells started ringing for me when Robertson took the players for a run on the sand dunes as part of our pre-season. 1950s stuff.If Seedorf is crap at defending we should move him to right mid and shove Raven in. He might be a shit manager but there really isn't anything wrong with some sand dune sprints etc as part of a Orr season programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Think it's just a bit archaic compared to better, modern techniques which produce similar results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Lots of ict players seemed to struggle today and resorted to pushing and pulling opponents rather than playing the ball. Nothing too dirty but it looked uncomposed and desperate at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have hopes for this season and thought we might be able to sneak 4th spot but ultimately wouldn't go up. Right now I'll be surprised if we stay up. It's only a couple of games in of course but we are in such a mess on and off the pitch I would be surprised to see us closer to the relegation play offs than the promotion ones.

donj Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Two games into season so teams still gelling.I doubt we'll hand out hammerings like that often and doubt you will suffer them again.Very open league and even the supposed whipping boys never got whipped. Five six games in is where we get some idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Its almost as though employing Hearts relics who are fucking useless isn't a great route to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The appointment never made much sense to me tbh. Yes, he won them this league previously however that was about 15 years ago. Since then he hasn't achieved much and his last job was in charge of East Fife. Just sounds like another archaic, jobs-for-the-boys relic when he speaks.

CallumPar Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thought we were excellent going forward today. Smith and Hopkirk never gave their defenders a moment of peace. Cardle and Higginbotham were on top form as well. Williamson was causing problems down the right hand side as well, good to see him hitting form! Robertson doesn't seem to have any tactical understanding. He was trying to employ Hearts' tactics from when he played. Constantly hoofing long balls in the direction of the big striker. Defensively, he just had physical players that can't play football. That was a very poor performance. For that reason, I can't get too carried away with today's result. Pleasing, but I doubt anyone will play so poorly against us in a league match for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Wait, WIlliamson can't have played well AGAIN, surely? I've been informed many times that he's not good enough and League 1 full backs are superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Seedorf looked like one of our best signings from the league cup games . Going to be a long season if he was as bad as the reports have been from today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going forward good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White Tragic Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Amongst all this sack cloth and pebble in the shoe self loathing, we've lost sight of the fact that Caley actually won more corners than Dunfermline. You don't need a corner if it's in the net when it crosses the goal line, maybe try to put it there in future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
