CoF Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Ten minutes in and we kinda look like a football team? Weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallus Numpty Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 And now we’re even deservedly winning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 No longer winning. We still need to work on the cutting edge and defensively we're still wobbly...but christ what a change in approach. We must have made more passes this half than in whole months of games of last season. I wouldn't be surprised if our defence costs in the end today but win, lose or draw that 45 has suggested there is at least something to build on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RostokMcSpoons Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Equaliser very much against the run of play. Blimey, a new experience, watching the Well and *not* wanting to gouge my eyes out with a spoon. Hammy must already be doing good things behind the scenes, as the hoofball was reduced to a minimum, and we even pressed from the front 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, doesn't it already feel like they're good enough to fairly comfortably avoid relegation*? We've certainly managed to make Aberdeen look ordinary, again. Maybe it doesn't count when the team is already sitting on the mantelpiece (*Famous last words, jinxed it) Edited August 13, 2022 by RostokMcSpoons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RostokMcSpoons Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Blimey, not jinxed perhaps. And Motherwell right now are busting my coupon Edit:. Yup, cost me £180 in profit as the other results all came in. Still absolutely delighted, £10 well spent!

well fan for life Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We won and we won by playing football that didn't make me want to pull my eyes out my skull. Incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Assuming that’s our baseline with Hammell we will be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) If that is us under Hammell before he strengthens the squad I can't wait to see what we are like when he does Edited August 13, 2022 by Andy H 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say we created more clear cut chances in that second half than we did in about 6 months last season. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 There are all kinds of caveats for the more serious discussion after some consideration but what a reaction, what a performance, what a day. Bloody hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no point getting carried away but it was as clear as day that the shackles were off a few players there - imagine we played with that tempo and freedom against Sligo... To make a noticeable change and to win a game comfortably means that Hammy has started as well as we could have hoped. Defence still needs a huge amount of work but if we're scoring 3, that's fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Just a few subtle changes and a lot more belief in the players. I guess it was still a 4-3-3 but nearer a 4-1-4-1 with Cornelius and Slattery given the job of pushing forward to close down the ball and the wide forwards staying wide instead of chasing all over the place. Made our attacking play more predictable as in our players knew where our forwards were going to be making their runs from. It just seemed easier to get forward. Even when Efford came on he was able to cover the left side of the park and provide an attacking outlet on the left flank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
