forameus Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Nitriansky and McGinn can fill in until one or both of them get injured, at which point we'll just forget about putting anyone out wide and set out in an ultra-narrow 3-3-1-3 Bielsa system. Looked quite innocuous from where I was with the injury. Looked like a nasty clash of heads, but guess he just went down awkwardly. Guess they didn't really know the severity of the injury given they seemed quite happy to let him hobble off on his fractured ankle. Wouldn't be surprised if it was actually just a bad sprain, but they then dropped him down the stairs on the way to the treatment room, such is our luck with full backs.

thistledo Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It's a real shame for Elliott, I was really starting to enjoy watching him going at defenders, thought his game was really improving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 i think you'll find archie will not risk him on sat as there's an international break straight after and therefore cerny having a longer lay off to get fit and hopefully not breakdown straight away I think you'll find [emoji1] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) I'm trying hard not to have a knee jerk reaction to today, but: Something's seriously wrong, barring the cup win away in Perth. edit: maybe the 2-2 with ten men against Rangers, too.

I make that, from the last 12 league games played: 30 goals conceded (includes the 10 conceded from the two shiters when the players had decided to go on holiday early against Celtic and Aberdeen, but still) 9 goals scored 6 games where we've been leading during the match (Rangers last season, Hibs first game of this season, Aberdeen in the 4-3 game, County away, Rangers at Firhill this season, Hearts at Firhill this season) and not held on for a win half of those games we were leading in featured late, late collapses (Rangers last season, County away, Hearts at firhill this season) no wins. Really poor, and we pretty much have to win at least two of our next three matches now or there's a serious chance of becoming detached at the bottom for the rest of the season.

Snakebite Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Today was as bad as I can remember us for a while. Someone else on here said it, but at the moment, we are sleep walking into a relegation battle. Barton is slowly assuming the role of a player who is playing rubbish but is an undroppable favourite of the manager. That being said though there were no positives at all today. Archie is lucky that we have a pretty patient fanbase cause the likes of Jig won't last at the current rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 The middle of the park is a joke at the moment. I didn't think Barton had been as bad as made out during the 2 games vs the orcs but he was the worst of a horrendous bunch today. The full back positions are also a massive worry, Milan looks like a centre half playing wing back and McGinn isn't comfortable on the left side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle4eva Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Need to go back to basics. We've been playing with three central defenders who Hoof the ball away. I'd drop Keown or Devine and put Barton back in the centre of defence he doesn't have the legs to play in the middle of the park, any time we lose the ball he's blowing out his arse to get back. But he does bring a calmness back there. If Bannigan not fit get McCarthy in the middle he looks like a natural central midfielder. For a team that was absolutely full of midfielders we really are lacking options at the moment in the middle of the park. Fraser looks like he'll never return and it's a waste that his wage could have been used for another player, if Sean Welsh is fit get him singed on a pay as you play deal. The Czech doesn't look very comfortable at all and really looks like he was a panic signing, not a lot to be optimistic about.

Nightmare Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 36 minutes ago, Thistle4eva said: I'd drop Keown or Devine and put Barton back in the centre of defence Yup. But I think it's the midfield Archie would be worried about in this case, which is understandable with Osman out and Bannigan having fallen off the face of the earth. Going 3-5-2 with McCarthy, Edwards and one of Spittal, Lawless or Erskine as a central 3 is hardly the most appealing, but I do think it's probably better than the alternative, which is no composure at the back, and Barton stinking it up in the midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
