Fife Saint Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The hell did they manage to win that shootout with Rangers last season? With some of the most assured pens you'll ever see. With the pressure at max crank. Unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Kerr’s penalty in that shootout was the best of the lot. He needs to be on them surely… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 He was rank but I’d have sooner had Hendry on that pen than Ali 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Our record is roughly 50% over the last 3/4 seasons, if you exclude shoot outs. Think its roughly 9 missed from 18, but thats from memory of looking it up last season then adding today's. It's not as bad as you think, but it's still woeful and its absolutely costing us games on a semi-regular basis. No idea how you even resolve something like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Liam Craig was as reliable as they came, shame we didn't just sub him or May on for the penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 How did Ballantyne look in pre-season? Felt today was the right type of game for him to come into. County camped deep, space central, and we really needed "thrust" in the middle of the park. Its what he gave Montrose. Him on for Wotherspoon was the change to try and win the match IMO, instead we brought on Craig so he could get minutes ahead of Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair question to ask. McCann looked underwhelming in the pre-season of 2019 but TW gambled when the proper stuff started. I'm not sure what word you'd use to describe that change today. I thought he was maybe bringing Craig on to get on the ball deep and allow Davidson to get in the box. Not that LC did badly but it's a bit of a blow for Ballantyne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hard to tell on a laptop as you miss all the off the ball stuff, but he seemed really advanced on the left instead? Felt like a game of pre-planned subs to me, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, felt like it was a case of Davidson wanting to only give May/Kane ~25/30 minutes, and also give Craig some form of run out. Wotherspoon gestured for the sub just before it, so potentially was meant to be Davidson or McCann who Craig was meant to replace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 We desperately need the attacking signings. Scoring goals and at times creating chances were our biggest issues last season and we’ve so far done nothing to address that, other than lose 3 attack minded players from the squad. I know work will be going on behind the scenes but we really need those players in the team now. Hendry can’t be far away from the last chance saloon. He offered nothing and looked lost again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) What happened/is happening with the rumoured second signing? Moving on from today as well. Team for Thursday thoughts? Clark Rooney Kerr Gordon Mccart Devine McCann Craig Spoony MOH Kane The main reason MOH is because we're away from home, unlikely to see as much of the ball. He's an out ball on behind or into channels to chase, win free kicks etc. A game much more suited to him than today's that's for sure.

Radford Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Would be interested to know how they play before taking a stab at a team. Not that we have much scope for change given the back five, McCann and Wotherspoon are nailed on. Kane as well probably if fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sconesaint Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I notice Kennedy is not involved with Aberdeen today. Would it work him coming back to us? I haven’t heard anything, just wondered what folk think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
