D'Jaffo Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 The best we can genuinely hope for right now is that we stay competitive amongst the teams around us and keep taking points off them, that the Dunfermline board somehow don’t sack Peter Grant as they will undoubtedly improve once he goes and lastly that Duffy is given a bit of freedom to make changes to this squad in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite losing 1 goal in 3 games, we suddenly decided to go to a back 3 and we definitely looked the worse for it - reminded me of the first half against Arbroath where no one seemed sure who was doing what. Can’t believe you used mcginty’s name and the word defence in the same sentence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know McCall slavishly adheres to 4-4-2 so going to a back 3 was always going to leave us vulnerable in the wide areas. The crosses should have been better defended I accept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d probably settle for Muirhead and one of the other 3 stooges. Muirhead alongisde Fjortoft with McAllister in CDM IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spoken to the real three stooges and they are mortally offended to be compared to Baird, Fjortoft & McGinty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk Yeah I'm maybe being presumptuous but I'm banking on a win v QOS. Definitely more worried about Arbroath and them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 For me we’ve got one competent centre half and another player who can maybe play there. I’m still not sure what goalie is better but Duffy clearly rates Albinson more than McAdams. Moffat wasn’t great today but hopefully his sharpness improves with the more matches he plays. For me I think this is our best team when everyone is fit.

Thereisalight.. Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Cant see McAdams hanging around long if hes on the bench for much longer. I rate him more highly than I do Albinson but the manager(s) dont agree 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanayr1987 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I’m gonna see what happens in the next few games before I decide about the derby game. If we play like we did yesterday in the coming games don’t think I will go down for it. I already would have to make sacrifices for it as it’s a Tuesday and I’m thinking the weather will be pish.

AyrExile Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 16 hours ago, Saltire said: Duffy has inherited this squad which Hopkin assembled with a particular style of play in mind, which we can all see was a complete failure. There were limited players available today, but for me we're better trying to play attacking football with the risk that we lose rather than revert to Hopkin's style and almost certainly lose. We may still have lost today (the injuries reduced our quality) but it would probably have felt better. It's a difficult one. Don't think we have enough quality to attack more and not leak goals. Not a fan of the defensive set up but needs must if we want to gather enough points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 We still have a January window and then half a season. It just depends on how much business we manage to do and who we bring in. Depending on how bad things are, we may even have to pay fee's Yesterday was like the Raith game, concede a goal and then shit the bed, it's the first time we have been behind in Duffys time as manager and it went south quickly. Like the Raith game, the players lost their shape, just sat back and invited a humping. There isn't enough in the squad to change anything going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t going to help us gather points, quite the opposite. There isn’t a single team in this league who we should be sitting in and hoping for the best against.
