Crawford Baptie Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Thoroughly justified in playing the industrial midfield that they did. They won almost every second ball and we’re up for the fight. Not great quality but will take that win anyday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Second half was miles better than the first. First half we were just shelling long balls constantly and performance wise wasn’t really much better than Dumbarton last week. Second half though was a much better and more professional performance. We were looking to get the ball down and play more, never looked in any danger at the back, looked right up for it and dominating in the middle of the park.So apart from the first half performance and jobbers MacLean and Johnstone getting on the pitch the only other big negative was Mark Durnan he barely looks any better than Pat Scullion. Completely unable to pass the ball constantly giving it away yet he’s the first to scream at and have a go at anyone else for making a mistake. Seems like such a p***k in addition to a shite footballer.Paul Dixon’s best performance for months, genuinely thought he had a cracking game. His final delivery was far better, he was much more positive with the ball and deserved his goal. Thought McManus was well worth his goal as well should’ve scored earlier in the half from Doyle’s cross but his work rate and effort couldn’t be faulted tonight. Another big positive is Cracks and Big Sexy taking off Gomis when he’s tucked and no leaving him out to run on empty like the last few months.In the end comfortable performance and some positives to take from the game though and I’m hoping we have a more attack minded line-up against Stranraer next week. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Longridge can dribble and dribble and dribble. Looking for the perfect chance to shoot tonight not just any old chance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a new player tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 He also didn't have a defender on him - the amount of space and time he was given was unreal. Typical non league management, unable to alter their team to the requirements of the game.This is why McKinnon should be back managing in the Juniors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Pointless making any sort of judgement of the team after a game against such a poor side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Formation suited us tonight. With them playing 1 up front we could afford to play 3 at the back and I’d imagine there will be more games this season where teams will line up like that against us. Allowed Dixon and Doyle to get higher up the park. Durnan our worse player again, and without getting carried away we played some nice stuff at times but as mentioned we need to remember the team we were playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Have to say that the chat of Durnan, McManus and Longridge are completely in line with their time over the Kink bridge. We fucking warned you about Durnan but "no no he'll be fine at league one ffs". Aye right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'm not so sure. Back 4 Dixon and Doyle should still have been able to get forward a lot in this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Dixons interview leads me to think he is Ray's best pal. Interesting to see if he stays that way. A lot more fight tonight than I have seen since September 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see how they do under new management or whether they're bombed out now their pal has been relieved of his duties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottiBiabi Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thought Tidser was decent in his brief time on the pitch. Durnan, however, remains absolutely stinkin at football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawkirk Wull Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Must admit how much a difference Toshney made to our defence tonight, it only a juniour team but i thought he coped really well. Never ever felt we were going to come a cropper tonight, there seemed to be a fight or desire about us that has been missing recently.

Guest Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Clearly Dixon and McKinnon are a long established bromance, but tonight M&M asked him to do a job we all thought/knew he couldn’t do......and yes, the opposition standard wasn’t stellar, but Dixon did that job pretty well.Too early to make any sort of judgement, but at least we weren’t sitting waiting on our management saying “the season starts next week”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
