Attackers usually always love a bit of finger pointing, a moan and the opportunity to blame someone else (come at me wingers of P&B, you greeting faced diddies). That isn't the case with your typical defender. I guess it's why most teams have centre-backs as their captains too. This is going waaaayyy off topic. But it's a pretty interesting area nonetheless!

sonsanorak Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Jimmy can offer more I think. Still disappointed with him for the goals we lost against stranraer and st mirren.That said, I thought he done well in spells today and I'd like to see him central more often.

TAMCARSON1 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Maybe I was at a different game today but I thought we played OK in possession, need Nade back to make that possession count. The stupid sending off killed us. United won't go up. I'm looking forward to going to Brechin. Foxy might be the difference up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 We did ok in the second half. Perhaps part of that was united easing off. Part of it was the enforced switch to 2 banks of 4 across the park.I actually like the modern 4-2-3-1 tactic but we can't play it right now. We have too many defensive midfielders so there's no range of passing from the middle 2. Up front we have nobody to act as the target man and hold it until others get involved in the play. We've got a couple of useful fullbacks but the wide attackers in front of them don't really give them and defensive protection.Fully fit we have a higher compete level. Makeshift midfield and no target man and we struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be arsed doing one by one but: Under par: Robson; surprisingly Durnan (kept making passes to folk who didn’t exist); King, good runs but poor last ball; Keatings, not on for long but did f**k all. Over par: Fraser; Scobbie. Hard to rate Lewis as he had nothing to do. Flood was surprisingly OK. McDonald is crying out for a target man to play alongside, we’d really get the best out of him then.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 The 2nd goal is even worse than I remember. A dollop of baby shite would put up more resistance than Gallacher's feeble hands. Barr's dive is as bad as I remember, as is Dowie's honker of a pass that leads to the first.
