Agree with @Tea and Busquets he can't play as a lone striker which I thought it was weird we brought him in as our number 9. Allan has been a complete waste of money. We don’t play the system that suits him at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'd like to see what he could do with some game time as part of a top two. He's scored 10 league goals in one of the 2 worst teams in the league this year so clearly has some ability.

I couldn't understand why Kelty consistently wanted to waste time (the goalie in particular was chronic) rather than have a go at us. Our defence wasn't troubled at all really and I think you may well have got the win if you'd just been a bit more adventurous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As blatant a penalty as you’ll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I'm not sure Morrison was offside for the goal in the first half and I'm very sure it was a penalty in the second half on Morrison but I'm more seething at the lack of care our team seem to have for the league after that Dunfermline game. Seem to be quite happy trying to coast into the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What one do you mean? Morrison was pushed over in the box and (what I thought was a stronger claim) Oliver (I think) was pulled to the ground by the throat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 We will be deservedly nowhere near the league title with 4 points from 12 against Kelty Hearts. The excellent cup run is papering over some very mediocre league form in my view- about to be 11 points off top spot in March, points dropped in 13 league 1 matches and not a glove laid on Dunfermline. Yes, Mcglynn was left with a shambles but he has been given the opportunity to bring in effectively a whole new squad. Special mention for Nesbitt going missing yet again the day after getting a 2 year deal (he was far from the only one to be fair). -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many players wanted to be clever with the ball rather than move it forward at pace, Morrison, Kennedy and McGuffie being the main culprits IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The criticism of Jordan Allan is utterly ridiculous. That he was not the lone, hold-up play type of striker that McGlynn is wedded to would have presumably been well known to the manager at the time he signed him. I'll be judging Allan when he's had a proper opportunity and run of games in a system that may actually have some chance of getting the best out of him. He certainly hasn't had that to date. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll get the chance, much like Burrell. McGlynn's kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place in that our better results tend to have been when we start with Oliver up front on his own before being replaced. I don't see him doing anything radically different now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Sounds like the difference between you and us is the manager ability, or lack of in your case to alter the formation and approach. McPake will rip up his tactics or change 3 players at half time if it's not working. Our management will tweak the tactics and team based on the opposition and if they get it wrong they don't hide and stick to it. FYI the offside ruled out goal was because Kennedy was off. Morrison pushed down would be a soft pen as he was tapped and fell down. I turned it off after that thinking id seen enough.

Morrison is two yards onside when Donaldson shoots, Kennedy is not in active play. His position and actions had no bearing on the goal being scored. The penalty claim, I’ll not even bother arguing that decision with you other than saying that’s down to the standard of officials. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUMBER 7 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Another match we should have won, but if we’re not going to play two up front, and a forward doing his work in the penalty area we’re not going to score. Im not going be too critical of some of the poorer performers last night, we need to regroup and work out what is best for the playoffs and Semi Final. The drink must have been good in hospitality last night for them to choose Kennedy as MOTM clearly clueless who ever made that choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
