dregs 83 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 From this and a few reports it sounds like we were very poor, so happy to get the points. Sounds like it was mainly stagnancy going forward, but how did the defence get on? Especially Quinn. Appears we have landed on our feet with Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishtergrolsch Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I dont think King is too bad. So far seems a bit of a crapper and disappears ala Spittal, however he also seemed to pick up after Flood came on so maybe theres something there. Im willing to give him another 90 mins before writing his entire career with us off. Well, maybe 45. I think at least 80% of our on field problems would also vanish if we got a semi competent manager. Im by far a Fraser fan but he is wasted on the right with two midgets in the box and no right foot. McDonald and Keatings are too similar and both seem to want to come short for the ball and have literally no body strength whatsoever. Nkoyi looked to stay further forward and jostle with defenders which allowed more space for the midfielders hence why we need a big target man who can hold the ball up. In days gone by, we would head up to Tannadice thinking, well, knowing Levein and Houstons teams were fit as fiddles, strong and would never shirk a tackle, be organised and have a game plan and a style of play. Now I expect f**k all other than complete confusion in defence when under pressure, no midfield cohesion in either an attacking or defending sense and strikers that see the ball on the ground once or twice a game. Mckinnon is really howling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citydiehard Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 That was hard luck today,a much improved performance from Tuesday night.Once again thought Crichton and Graham were excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing this type of performance every week and the wins will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Steve Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Gutted to lose that one. As most have said we were definitely worthy of a point. Everyone played their part but for me Crighton, Lynas, Graham and Orsi were excellent.Hopefully we continue with 4 at the back. Gives us much more balance.

Granny Danger Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I have previously expressed concern as to whether McKinnon was the right guy to get us promoted. For me the jury is still out. On the positive side, so far this season I have seen decent signings given our budget and a willingness to drop players if they are not performing. I still think there are some glaring problems - for example, is there another team in the league who finds it as difficult as us to retain possession when they get a throw in? It will take another few games before we can see if we have what it takes to go all the way this season but I'm a bit more optimistic than I was at the tail end of last season.

They basically went man for man across the final third which meant they were always close to a man and we couldn't really deal with it. I can't blame McKinnon for the performances of the majority of our players but I do think he should have gambled earlier with N'Koyi and possibly Chalmers. If Fraser didn't go down injured then I don't know when he would have changed it. But some of our fans think Dods ( Dodds) is not very tactically aware so you must be mistaken !!!!

slangs Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Great stuff 2day,just shows tho folks some on our site didn't think young Lynas or Graham were good enough for this league. Abso stand outs well done lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would add Sinclair to the list of those who impressed too but Finn Graham was indeed excellent. Keep playing like that and the wins will come.

Best Team in Angus Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Sick to lose all 3 points the team were immense and Dods got it spot on, I thought Crighton was a standout for us yesterday but everyone played their part. Also a decent turnout of fans who got behind the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underpar Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Very Proud....two words sum up the way i feel today. Gutted we didn't take a point away from this. I hope we have proved the doubters in the City support that we can compete at this level and the points will come if we continue to put in displays like this. Well done guys . Huge game with ICT next at the Glebe . On yesterdays showing i fancy our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Feet Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just adding my congratulations to the team and the tactics. Get the work rate and system right and we have shown we can match anyone (well the supposed title favourites).Two fingers to the doubters. And who feeds into the BBC sports page? Terrible. Never mind onto next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abso stand outs well done lads Let's not get carried away guys it's one game, which we lost, huge improvement on what I've been seeing but let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill, it was a very good performance fair play to dods, it's took him 10 months to see what a lot of people have been seeing for months, play 4 at the back and give the players a chance, again very well done even tho we got beat I was proud after the game. I'm happy to get beat every game if we play like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
