AdamPhillips Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Went to the game today, thought Nathan Blockley was excellent but everyone else was below average !! Doubt the keeper will be getting a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond120593 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Disappointed but not surprised by today's game and result. More quality needed throughout the team especially midfield would've said that if we had won. Took us until January last season to realise we needed more quality hopefully we do something about it now. The keepers kicking was terrible when he received a back pass and was at total fault for their second goal however can't blame the boy for the penalties. He looked ok kicking dead balls. Anyway having said that look at last season we beat Hamilton and look where both our seasons went. Hopefully this is just a wake up call and we respond next week.

Bring back Johnny martin coz the goalkeepers we've got aren't a patch on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Oracle Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Tony Watt set to sign for Standard Liege for £1.2m. Hopefully we get a decent sell-on sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesadilla Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I fear for us this season. Midfield is the worst ive saw. Easy tiger. Kevin MacDonald......and he was FT. f**k me, the money we squandered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond120593 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I agree the midfield is pretty poor just shows how much of an influence Craig Barr had. Hopefully we get more quality in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it GB will be given a set amount ye can spend in wages for august and january and with the signings he's made are ex FT i.e McNeil,Proctor and Fitzpatrick so i don't think personally there will be any quality coming through the door unless it's in the under 19 squad.

RAPID BENANO Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Based on one game that's a fairly bold shout Exactly Blockley watt and gray were our best player's on Saturday.Joe Hamill you could get somebody out of the stirrup stain that's faster than him :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDi@mond Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Think we're definitely weak at centre half and centre mid. Proctor is a decent enough centre half however I do feel he's more of a 2nd centre back rather than the main man at the back and as I suspected Fitzpatrick is not big enough to be a centre back (I suspect he'll struggle against better strikers such as Michael Moffat and Jamie Longworth). Blockley took his goal well, something he's always done, but the inability of him and Hamill to make simple passes was worrying to say the least. I think maybe 1 out of 5 passes they made reached an Airdrie player and both were missing in the middle of the park far too often (Blockley too far up the park and hamill sitting too deep). I would put Watt in centre mid on Saturday instead of Blockley as the wee man was the best player in an Airdrie top against Rovers and will make up for Hammill's lack of movement.

glesgadiamond Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Chris oneil is a far better right back than jamie bain i would have him in the team over jamie any day. His defending was a bit suspect for there first goal on saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the defence coped well with Gemmell on Saturday so I wouldn't write them off as being too small just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't necessarily suggesting they had a bad game, just thought they could find it difficult against better strikers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdrie76 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Don't necessarily disagree mate and Moffat will obviously be a step up. I think though they deserve a chance to bed in. A lot of over the top comments from some based on one game which we lost on penalties after being the better team. Hopefully they'll come good. Obviously Saturday wasn't good enough though.
