Marshmallo Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Need to ask why Dowds was loaned out when we didn't have anyone else lined up to come in immediately. Wilson and particularly Ompreon should be playing in the Lowland League at best. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieBairn Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 No one, not even our management team can convince me that Wilson or Ompreon are better or on par with Dowds. And Dowds is pretty pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Holt has let us down big time with the signing of strikers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea and Busquets Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) We didn’t deserve that one bit IMO. They had one chance and scored. We have two offside goals which we have no idea if they were, a missed penalty and a few decent chances missed. The penalty was awful, no idea why Morrison had to hit it like he did with so much power. If that goes in I fancy us to win it. I think we need a striker and a winger. The two strikers that finished the game are no where near good enough and I’m 100% not convinced by McGuffie. He seems to have little/no pace for a wide man. All three subs didn’t work and we lost momentum really. Referee was a bit baffling as well. Like I said earlier it was never a foul for their goal. Tactically, Nesbitt should never have been moved wide. He’s been our most effective player in the No. 10. Not overly concerned as on another day we would have scored a few goals.

Newbornbairn Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 We need a 14ft tall striker for the back post crosses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unused sub Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Badly need another striker in, God help us if Keena gets injured and we need to rely on Ompreom or Wilson to get goals. Ompreom offered nothing when he came on and did Wilson even touch the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison’s crosses are so bad, hence why I think he’s still with us. He rarely picks anyone out. Probably doesn’t help no one is at the back post half the time either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree with you, you don’t need a goal scorer to score Ross’ chance from the corner or a penalty. Them chances should be scored any one on the pitch, they were that simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We honestly have f**k-all up front. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Our deficiency in the striker dept for me is the first thing Holt should have addressed pre-season. We seem to be really short up front which was a glaring issue last season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) The definition of madness is doing the same thing expecting a different outcome. Surely our coaches can get it into Morrisons head than when he is about to cross the ball that he should hit it about 60% as hard as he thinks he needs to, and that would solve his problem. Basic human learning curve. Don't understand why this can't be addressed. Either that or someone needs to stand on someone's shoulders on the back post to head it in.

unused sub Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Thought Keena played OK today, kept a hold of the ball when played into him and linked up play well. He also won the penalty same as last week, I would have him taking the pens in place of Morriston to be honest. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The comments on Keena are absolutely baffling tbh. Thought he had another good game today and the decision to sub him off effectively killed any chance we had of getting back into the game. His hold and link up play is fantastic and I genuinely don’t think some fans realise just how important that is to the team. He gets us up the park and the ball sticks. As a lone striker that’s absolutely vital. I do agree that we need another striker in as well though as we do need another option and not having to rely on they 2 jobbers that finished the game today. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
