It's the poor team selection, tactics, misplaced simple passes, poor finishing, poor defending and lack of fight which is more worrying for the league. Yep. It's not really this game in isolation. It's been a run of really poor form. We need to freshen the squad in January and it seems we will not be able to. Some of our passing is so pedestrian and decision making is so poor. We are a brutal watch the now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Glad I couldn't go. No idea why we were playing some second string players but I suppose with our injury record this season it's no surprise.. Need to get our fingers out against alloa though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I’ve been as critical as anyone on the fact that McGlynn has been hamstrung by Holts signings but the fact he keeps picking them ahead of his own signings is worrying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Watson is back soon as he's now our last chance at having a semi competent central defence. The McKay experiment at right back has to be over too surely. Yeats was far better there. McGuffie, Kennedy, Nesbitt and to a lesser extent (but not by much) Oliver constantly getting chances ahead of Lawal is infuriating to watch. Has 1 up front EVER worked for us consistently? Good post, agree with most if not all of it. Most fans seem to be in agreement and not with the benefit of hindsight either. That starting 11 was never going to work, much better changes and second half, but by then the game was won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No knickers in a twist, if you think tonight’s abhorrent display is acceptable and losing to a team that we had one shot between the sticks in ninety minutes isn’t worrying, coupled with a manager who’s selections are baffling at best…… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 What was evident tonight was there is next to no variation in our play. We pump it into the box or shuffle it side-to-side but we hardly drive into the opposition box or slice a defence open. We've become predictable. Lastly can we get Kennedy off the set-pieces. We've more chance of a penalty than him putting one in the top bin from a dead-ball. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could do with a few improvements in January but I highly doubt the money will be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holt signed them, which was a mistake, and like many on here I despise Gary Holt but it’s McGlynn and Smith that are picking them consistently now not Holt, or Sheerin or Rennie. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecosse83 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The constant criticism of the players that were here last season is becoming laughable, I mean how many of Mcglynns signings so far can genuinely be called a success? A few at best for me so far! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I actually like mcglynn and given where we are I think he is the best man for the job. I also think there is a decent team within our squad somewhere. Do I think mcglynn is playing the best team and tactics? Most weeks the answer is no. I hope he finds out best 11 soon or we'll be too far out of sight of the pars. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few at best for me so far! Overall probably McGinn, Donaldson, Lawal (when he actually gets on the pitch). Burrell, Hogarth, Alegria all ok but we need to play B&A together. The rest of McGlynn's signings are not better than the Sheerin lot which is why so mamny of them still play. Despite a healthy budget in the summer, our best players are still Morrison and McCann which is quite depressing really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
