RostokMcSpoons Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Asking for a friend... did anyone watching the International subscription MFC TV have a real problem with the streaming? I.... errrrr ... hear the first two video players weren't working at all and the third was unwatchably choppy. It could have been Opera browser's built-in VPN connection causing an issue, as it's worked ok until yesterday. Ended up listening to the UK commentary instead, and missed the equaliser Edited August 9, 2021 by RostokMcSpoons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three players worked fine here, I was switching between them at different times depending on whether I was wanting picture-in-picture or casting to my telly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RostokMcSpoons Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) TW's volley was very smartly taken, I would have been really quite excited if I'd seen that live. No wonder Zander Clark was upset with his defence, Tony ended his run bang-smack in the middle of the goal with not a man within 5 yards of him. We would rip Bevis or Ricki to shreds if they'd been similarly lax. Thanks Gallus, Well Del, I'll have to tell my friend to investigate some 'other technologies' Edited August 9, 2021 by RostokMcSpoons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would rip Bevis or Ricki to shreds if they'd been similarly lax. It really was a smashing goal, build up and everything especially when you realise that Watt originally picked up the ball in his own half and it's worked up the park. As @Casagolda says earlier in the thread, it's a good progressive ball from Slattery and tbh, it's just an all round nice goal. Watt's finish has a very pure training ground energy to it. To the points about Van Veen having been low key compared to last week (he clearly was) this St Johnstone analysis Twitter account highlights that it's KVV's run that drags the defender with him and creates the space for Watt (although watching it back their big #6 just leaves Watt completely). Also mildly interesting that our Plan B at the moment seems to be a switch to a 4231...that's new.

Twigged this as well which feels like a much better fit in a lot of ways, nah? Slattery and Donnelly holding, Watt/Lawless/Woolery in behind Van Veen? Watt's finish was very satisfying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Just now, thisGRAEME said: Watt's finish was very satisfying. The thump as he hits it on the club video on twitter certainly is - his "woo-hoo" afterwards a bit less so TBH - given the two opening league games had the potential to be regulation defeats against two good and (just as importantly at this stage) settled sides, I'm quite heartened. We've "got away with" playing Donnelly for 180 much needed minutes, we managed to drop Shields in yesterday for his debut and Slattery has now got a decent bit of game time too - all without sacrificing too much in terms of results (and Slattery has made a decent contribution already). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there were reasons that both Donnelly and Maguire were off it yesterday, but you could definitely have fitted their impact into one player to have another attacking option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slattery and Donnelly holding, Watt/Lawless/Woolery in behind Van Veen? Watt's finish was very satisfying. I mean, it's a nice change to chucking Jordan White on and seeing what happens. It's been a long time since it's been a shape we've gone to and probably even longer since we've used a 4231 effectively but aye, it seems to answer a few questions in so much as it gets Watt central (which we all know is his preference rather than nominally being stuck wide) if he's playing as a #10 or off Van Veen. 2 hours ago, Swello said: The thump as he hits it on the club video on twitter certainly is - his "woo-hoo" afterwards a bit less so TBH - given the two opening league games had the potential to be regulation defeats against two good and (just as importantly at this stage) settled sides, I'm quite heartened.

The opening couple of games feel like they've at least shown what #Grezzaball might look like, which is something. Strong work-in-progress vibes but If nothing else you can take plenty positives from the approach and general performance in the Hibs game and while we may not have been particularly good yesterday we still created more than enough chances and it was a really well worked goal (as was the opener against Hibs). It was interesting that Alexander referenced the bounce game with QoTSA last week and implied that we'd need more of those because (I'm paraphrasing) of the different stages of fitness players are at and there seems to be a general sense that we've not been able to work on things during pre-season on account of the time it's taken to get players in and also the LC group meaning the competitive games limited how much we could reasonably experiment - trying out a 343 against Annan springs to mind.

WhoScored is a wild ride like, they had Shane Duffy in a bunch of times last season as well.
