Varna Rover Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 3 minutes ago, WATTOO said: I agree that we've been riding our luck recently, however 2-0 up at home to the team at the bottom of the league, with less than 20 mins remaining and absolutely pounding them, to then end up with a 3-2 defeat surely is a bit of a freak result. Hopefully, not to be repeated............... The same happened to us a couple of seasons ago at home to dumbarton i think it was. 3-0 up with 10 mins to go and sailing. we lost 4 - 3. No such thing as a freak result, you relax and pay the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 It was a perfect storm yesterday. A couple of those saves from the forfar keeper were just ridiculous. Balls just hitting him. On top of that the subs were definitely an error from the manager. He took the game for granted. But there's a psychological weakness to consider as well. We should've had plenty of experience to shut that game out. That's a really bad sign. Then we've got our weakness at the back. From the highlights I'm not sure that any of the goals could be blamed on Hart. That just seems very harsh. But there were chances to clear some of those balls - and panic definitely set in. And then you've got the fact that they took the three chances they had, including a lovely free kick. On another day we survive a scare. All in all, a very poor result.

North Terrace Gazza Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Balatoni now officially a free agent so let's hope a deal can be struck, would definitely bring a solidity to a very fragile defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Quinn Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I would have Rose ahead of Balatoni any day. Rose is improving but thebproblem is we do mot have any holding midfielders at present so the defence is more exposed. At 2-0 we were cruising and playing well. Turning points were not the substitutions but when the ref bottled it and didn't send off the full back for his assault on Forrest and then the soft free kick that led to their 1st goal. After that their keeper had a couple of miracle saves before the roof caved in. It was a freak result and hopefully we will bounce back at Stranraer but we are missing our captain, Robbie and a fit Geggan. We need a GK or at least an experienced back up.

ayrmad Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm going to go against the grain, I wouldn't bring in a keeper as number 1, fair enough getting a back up, we've went this long with the boy and we're still up there, if, and it's a big if, we can go up with the boy as number 1 it'll do his confidence no end of good, a centre half and holding midfielder for competition will do us fine.

I've discussed this issue a lot regarding Scotland (where luck is an even bigger factor due you the fewer games). And just to be clear, it's not about giant slices of luck here and there - it's the little things that can go for you or against you in so many aspects of the match.Far, far too many football fans treat the game like it's a science - choose option A, get result B. But it's more a case of percentages. Far, far too erudite for this forum.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 So aye, we saw that Hart is a bite shite, and that you wanted another keeper.But we kinda miss Raith....https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2038807/rangers-lee-robinson-dunfermline-queen-of-the-south/There's genuinely no other reason that's acceptable.

HoBNob Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Sean Murdoch is more than good enough, he might apparently have a cold though so we might need cover for a couple of weeks. Poor signing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 McCall saying he's going to ask the board for an experienced midfielder in one loan as Docherty, Crawford and Geggan aren't going to be back any time soon by the looks of things. Presume he has somebody in mind who he would wish to get on loan and McCall was as professional as ever with the mars bar in the interview.

Presume he has somebody in mind who he would wish to get on loan and McCall was as professional as ever with the mars bar in the interview. Is there many midfielders out there available on loan?Noticed that Mark Kerr was released by Falkirk. He plays midfield and would know McCall from his first spell at Falkirk and Dundee United.

UpInTheAyr Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hearing Reid and Forrest had a good game is a bonus considering the injury situation. With Rose in midfield it might lessen the blow with the three out, who don't sound like they will be back any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
