an86 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The season summed up in 90 minutes. Competitive, some good moments, and blasting ourselves in the face. The squad is a fraction short of this level and it’s been obvious for many months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow1999 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Why did we not put an extra striker on after the red card, rather than swap defenders? We struggle when we try to hang on to a 1 goal lead and drop back. Why was Docherty subbed very early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Millar out long term is a nightmare. We don't have a replacement who does what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it was "why", but was it really just a coincidence that it was made less than a minute after his open-goal miss from six yards out?

Because our head coach spent his career defending and thinks playing not to lose is more likely to "see the game out" than playing to win. And if course it's all the players' fault again.I guess Gus never made any mistakes in his time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSilverFox Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 As much ask would have liked to be there yesterday I couldn't. Good quality highlights though, not that highlights can ever give a clear indication of a match but good chances for both teams would suggest that a draw was fair. Four quality goals though.

Pretty humiliating for the player and not the first time it’s happened this seasonWhat sort of message does that send out to young players and what does it do for squad confidence and morale?Good highlights we really missed some great chances to take 3 points - 2 freshies when it looked easier to score, Cummins header and strong penalty claim from Burns Didn’t think it was a red btw not sure there was any contact ref was poor [emoji849] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By four years ago, I assume you mean last season, our best league finish in a generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers are better than us for the simple fact they have Alan Trouten in their team. Forfar scudded Stranraer 5-0 last week as well. We don’t have that in our locker. We’re not absolutely horrendous and will compete and win the odd game, but ultimately the squad isn’t of sufficient quality to perform consistently. It’s always inevitable that this will happen if we’ve been up for a year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful weather, SPL team at home, Gus getting dugs abuse all day for being ex Killie, then he pops up and does that in front of the home fans. Anyway, thanks for posting. As you were...

spider1867 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The worst manager ever for bringing youngsters through. Brings them in they make a mistake which is to be expected and they are sent to Siberia. We are more than a league club we have a great youth academy but I would not let Gus anywhere near our youngsters he destroys them. How many have came thru in his tenure as manager and stayed in the team? Absolutely none to my knowledge. Correct me if I'm mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many have came thru in his tenure as manager and stayed in the team? Absolutely none to my knowledge. Correct me if I'm mistaken. To be fair he has given some decent opportunities to Mortimer, MacPherson, Summers, Magee, Brown and Foy. It's a fine line between giving opportunity and destroying their confidence. Easier at League 2 level I would think. We've all got our favourite team selection, but the truth is we are fighting for survival in League 1 and don't have obvious consistent talent.
