bairn88 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hopefully no overreactions tonight. We were never going to win every single game til the end of the season. Don’t think we’ve been particularly “good” in any of our last 4 games, but we’ve ground out 3 wins and a draw. I still think we really struggle to implement anywhere close to our A game away from home, but the change in formation tonight was a disaster and will be instantly binned. Onwards to Darvel, cup game then back at home (to alloa ffs), let’s get back to winning ways. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 We didn’t get beat when playing shite, it’s a point closer to them. They have to go and beat Airdrie which won’t be easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 2 minutes ago, PedroMoutinho said: Huge chance missed for us to put pressure on Dunfermline but a draw’s probably a fair result over the 90. First 60 minutes we were all at sea- no width, midfield posted missing with the strikers getting no service other than aimless long balls. Burrell was really the only player offering anything. I thought Nesbitt offered very little (and has done the last few games tbh after a couple of outstanding performances). A couple of spills from PJ too. Much better after the subs and change of formation. Burrell really should have scored with a great chance. Couldn’t see whether the penalty was deserved. You suspect Airdrie will need to do us a favour against the unwashed to keep the title race going. Infuriating about Meekison. After a great 2/3 games he’s done absolutely nothing productive for weeks and would be straight out the starting 11 for him I think.

We go on our best run of form in 2 decades just to end up a grand total of 3 points closer to Dunfermline.

Double t Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Let's take the positives from this. Wasn't there but sounds like we didn't play well. Unbeaten run continues and we are a point closer to them. They have Airdrie 2 times which won't be easy. We go again Monday. #COYB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they haven't that's inexcusable Council strapped for cash so a one-off payment would get serious consideration.

MrDust Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Far too many changes for me, one possibly two max tonight would've been my thoughts on it. We go again Monday probably revert back to previous 11 with maybe only Donaldson the only change, it's a marathon not a sprint 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish. The two games v them are pivotal. Win them both, and I think we can, it will be our title to lose. Points will be dropped by both sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I’m not convinced getting rid of all your width and pumping the ball long was the way to do it. You wonder whether dropping Nesbitt and putting Oliver in behind Burrell, while keeping Morrison and Kennedy wide would’ve been better.

Tea and Busquets Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 A point is a fair result IMO but that’s a kick in the balls so late on. Their number 2 could have been off for the multiple fouls on Morrison, especially the one down the back of his Achilles. 6 minutes stoppage time and a penalty we’d never have gotten at the other end. Shouldn’t have changed shape with only one training session used to work on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecosse83 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Sore one but was always going to be a tough game tonight. Dust ourselves down and kick on again, still a hell of a lot of football to be played! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them winning 2 games from Airdrie home and away and QoS away. At best a win and draw. I think they'll lose at least 1 of these 3. QoS look fit and quick tonight under Bartley. Airdrie are playing well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a better squad than them now, but we seem to always start with the wrong starting 11 and have to chase the game. I don't think Airdrie are out of this yet either, especially if you can win on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
