Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 We don't even deserve playoffs. Send us down right now. Danny Handling partnering Hutton in central midfield will be some sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron2000 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 This team has a dreadful habit of downing the tools after a bit of ‘bad luck’. Oh we were so unlucky to concede late on against Morton, what’s the point in even trying? I reckon one thing we can say for certain is that since we came up to the Championship this team is the only one that hasn’t been willing to work hard for each other, regularly.

If only the #tacticalgenius would play guys in the correct position ffs. Honestly cannot be arsed with Aitken's bizarre selections & negative crap any more. The thing that really gets me can be summed up in the following three tweets: Quote 55: Liam Burt getting ready to come on as Sons look for a way back into the game - the next goal is vital. #sonsvict Liam Burt was very lively when he came on, on Tuesday, just as he's been very lively almost every time he's played for us. Why not play him more often? I'll tell you why. Quote 57: And on comes Burt to replace Wilson. Handling drops back to partner Hutton in the middle. #sonsvict Because for reasons only known to Stevie a few of his favourites (hiya Danny, hiya pal, you're not the only one, don't worry) seem to be played in Burt (and Walsh and Froxy's) best position every single week. The substitution there is an easy one. Handling off Burt on. Every single man, woman and child in the stadium could see what would happen with a deep midfield duo of Hutton and Handling. Every. Single. Person. Quote 75: Sons goalscorer Gallagher replaced by Dougie Hill. Dowie shifts to right back. #sonsvict Then we get this. Grant Gallagher is not a right-back. He works hard, he's a good athlete, but he's not a right-back even when he's at 100% fitness. He's therefore certainly not a right-back when he's just back after 18 months, and is up against some pretty lively guys. Why not put Dowie there, and start Hill, instead of waiting until we're being pumped to confirm what we all knew? Interesting that Andy Galloway has just tweeted to say that Burt's been our best player. Be interesting to see who starts ahead of him on Tuesday.

Sure he missed an excellent showing against Dundee United, but any home fan who paid £20 to watch the Livi game would have to spend more than three times that on therapy to recover.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 That's an utterly shocking result and bar the Dundee Utd game we have been woeful for a long, long time. A few things I find absolute baffling: Stewart being on the bench for every single game but being fit enough to come off the bench in pretty much every single game. If he's not fit he shouldn't be on the bench and being brought on, if he is fit he should be starting up front over Callum Gallagher. Danny Handling's inclusion in every single starting 11. He's guff. What was the point in wasting money on a wage for Liam Burt? Surely he's a better option that Kevin fuckin Nesbit. Why Tom Walsh hasn't played through the middle since last year. Our best run of form this season coincided with his best run of form which happened to be through the middle. Why does Aitken think Grant Gallagher is a better right back option than the likes of Dowie or Barr? Hill has played well whenever he's been in the team yet Aitken point blank refuses to bring him in and insists on playing a midfielder, who hasn't played competitive football for TWO YEARS, at right back. Injuries have been a total nightmare this season but Aitken's shitey team selections and tactics haven't helped in the slightest. You have Stewart, Walsh, Froxy and Burt on the bench today whilst Callum Gallagher, Handling and Nesbit make the starting 11. If we're to make it through the playoffs we need our best players on the park from the fuckin start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I defy any Sons fan to explain how arguably 3 of our best options start on the bench today? As others have already said, bbpf, So8 above. I mean Nisbet ahead of Stewart??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Some observations on today's shambles. Individual errors in defence are cropping up far more frequently now than at any other point in the season but it seems to me to only mask that the real problem continues to lie in attack. To be blunt, 3 of the 4 'forwards' that Aitken started with today aren't fit for purpose in this league and it really shows. Only Stirling gets pass marks for his first half performance. Contrastingly Stewart and (in particular) Burt must wonder what sea God they've wronged to not get a start in this team. They offered more in a few minutes than Seagal, Handling and Nisbet did for the entire match. I feel sorry for Grant Gallagher. He's not fully fit and he's not a right-back. A toxic mix which lead to a torrid afternoon, finely taken goal aside. We may well go down this season but I just wish it was with more than a whimper. There are reasonable options sitting about on the bench for us and it's frustrating beyond imagination to see us persist with the same dour approach that's seen us garner so little points this season. All that aside we'll probably win on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordo1872 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Shocker of a result today and one that won’t help our confidence ahead of the inevitable play-offs. Im getting more and more frustrated every week with Stewart sitting on the bench while Stevie opts for Gallagher or Nesbit. Stewart is an experienced and well established player at this level. His positioning, off the ball movement and finishing is far superior to anything the other two can offer. Like BBPF said, if he’s fit enough for the bench he should be fit enough to start. Handling was a liability at Tannadice and offered nothing against Livi. He’s not working hard enough in the middle and we simply can’t afford to be carrying passengers in our position. Burt ahead of him for he remainder please. We’re scoring goals again which keeps eternal optimists like me hopeful we’ll survive the playoffs, but the defence has now became the main concern.
