rb123! Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Having just watched the highlights, which i know doesn't paint the full picture. However we didn't look near as bad as some folk on here are making out, before they scored we looked as if we were attacking as well as the Raith and Arbroath game and should have scored. Then when they scored since we're down the wrong end of the table the players obviously lose a bit of confidence and i think that showed with the rest of the highlights as there were no more spells of attacking like when Reading went on his run down the wing. First goal is from our own corner which is never good, the midfield put no pressure on the ball carrier and then you could have fit a bus in the gap between McGinty and Baird which Reilly strolled into. Second goal was the same with Reilly dropping in to a massive gap between defenders. Tend to agree with Bully that if we'd taken a goal for our early attacking intent i think it would have been different game but we didn't, hence why we need another striker in to help Adeloye and also an attacking midfielder to carry the ball into the final third and have that vision to create things and make those defence splitting passes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Gondoh's wee camo shows he's got something about him looking forward to seeing what he can do when he's up to speed. Tommi looked miles off it yesterday read somewhere he had COVID not sure if true but maybe he's still recovering from that even then he's got to make the keeper work with the chance early on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been injured too so very doubtful he's 100% fit, put it this way his run in on goal was the carbon copy situation of the Raith goal and if you compare the two it was night and day compared to what happened yesterday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you , no club can afford to turn down sponsorship in these tough times , a respectable company took out the sponsorship, club was not to know that the people they sent would let themselves and their company down , 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading appears to be marking Ugwu, with Baird covering the front post - I’ll suggest it was McGinty (they were both blaming each other afterwards) Two fullbacks massively fucked that. Reading has made McGinty come out of position, then has a chance to get round the side to get it back or slow him down but the usual from him means it's no happening, Baird actually takes up a good position as between him and the goalie they should cut it out, Houston is the spare man watching Reilly and he canny be arsed. At the point Reilly is hungry and looking for the ball Houston is stopping. For once I'm laying no blame at those two idiots in the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some truth in what Bullen said - we did start well as we kept the ball well, which allowed Maxwell, McKenzie, Murdoch and Reading to get up the park in support of Adeloye. Morton then noticeably changed things and pushed further up - we then reverted to punting then ball up the park and basically into a very defensive 4-5-1. After the first twenty minutes or so, we were woeful. Chalmers often found himself as the spare man in midfield, peeling off into the left hand side - which frankly is pointless as he doesn’t have the athleticism or the ability to provide anything from that position. It was worrying how long it took Bullen to change it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugwu has obviously done McGinty, but it is a wonderful bit of skill. Full backs mostly to blame IMO. The centre backs more to blame for the first goal, although Houston failed to stop the cross too. As you said above I think Baird is taking up the same position at the first goal, and McGinty behind him fails to track Reilly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty please. Tbh I'd rather we punted all defenders. Can we? Is there any way? 15 hours ago, D'Jaffo said: I’ve no idea what happened with the first but VOR said the cross was deflected which may have caught the defenders out. Second goal was a mixture of Reading having the piss taken out of him by Ugwu and then him being allowed to get a shot off which was diverted in by Reilly. I’m guessing that given it came from the right hand side then McGinty is more at fault there. McGinty was far from good but he certainly wasn't the worst yesterday. Muirhead was horrendous as was Chalmers but it always seems to be McGinty that gets all the major stick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the lengthy Muirhead experiment at central midfield is now over, and ideally a central midfielder this week and Chalmers as a starter is now over too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalmers was also poor apart from the first 15-20 minutes when I thought he was going to have a good game. McGinty gets stick because he has been at fault for maybe 6 or 7 goals this season and although he wasn’t the only one at fault yesterday he did have a poor game. If we aren’t going to sign a centre half then we have to go with Baird and Muirhead. I don’t particularly rate either of them that highly but it’s the best of a bad bunch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
