By caught out, I meant he wasnt expecting it, but then neither was anyone else - at least no one was expecting a shot of that quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tremendous strike and he probably wouldn't have got there anyway, but he has to be leaving the ground for that rather than making no attempt. I think everyone else is watching something different to me. He hasn't got an earthly with that shot and it was way out of his reach. It went over his head like a rocket and dipped just under the bar. There's an argument that he's positioned too close to the near post when it's struck perhaps but once it is struck it's gone. I don't think Martin had a prayer with either goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one is a corker of a bit from Forbes right inside the post, he didn't even really see it from the camera behind the goal. I don't think any goalkeeper in the league was stopping Quitongo's.

Guest Flash Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 He didn't really have a chance with the goals, but I don't think he would have saved the second one even if the shot hadn't been as good. Saying that, it is difficult to know whether his failure to make any attempt to save it was because he knew he wouldn't get near it, or because he couldn't dive. The evidence from the rest of the game suggests he has great difficulty in getting his feet to leave the ground, even for crosses. I can't remember him making a diving save in any games I've been at or seen the highlights from. He just looks like somebody who is really unfit or carrying an injury that is more than "a knock". Eta I could be wrong about him not making diving saves, just can't remember any. Eta (again) he looks like he is diving in slow motion/falling over in the goal we lost against Falkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Quitongo's goal was very well taken but I think Dobbie's early 2nd half goal at Falkirk and Andy Stirling's at Livingston were better. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Quitongo's goal obviously takes the headlines but I think Lyle's goal deserves a fair bit of credit. That was an excellently worked goal and shows what they're capable of when the ball is played on the deck. Kane had a big part to play in as well but he isn't scoring so he should definitely be dropped next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but with the caveat that I think a top goalie gets a hand to it. Martin still looks a bit sluggish for me. Was expecting him to be more of a stand out TBH given the hype.

His reactions were excellent for us even though he does look slightly over weight. He was never one for rushing off his line though, so if it's sluggish in regards to his pace then that's understandable but I'm not sure it's too important in his position.

Guest Flash Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 52 minutes ago, Mr X said: Most fans are more than happy with Martin. Are they? Based on what? He played for 15 minutes against Brechin before he got injured. Then played at Dundee U when he wasn't fit and looked like he could hardly move for their second goal. Didn't play v Airdrie. Had next to nothing to do v Dumbarton. Didn't have much to do v Falkirk and conceded a goal when diving like somebody had pushed him over. Didn't play v Berwick after Naysmith admitted that they had been "nursing him along". Didn't play v Livingston. Looked like there was something hampering his movement/ability to jump v Morton. So, how can anybody be more than happy with him? Based on the League Cup games where we played Stenny, Albion Rovers and East Kilbride? Or, the one game v Accies? And I'm not saying I'm unhappy with him. I'm saying I can't judge how good he is because I think there is something up with him. However, if he is fit (he missed the game last week through illness, not injury) then I will revise that opinion unless he starts showing signs of being able to move freely and actually jump.
