Thereisalight.. Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Glad that Jordan White is away to Ross County and we can put to bed any fear of him arriving at Somerset. How he manages to get employment in the Prem is beyond me Edited January 28, 2021 by Thereisalight.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to say how we're going to play though because we've only played twice in the last 5 weeks, however both performances were nothing scintillating. Was looking at highlights of last few games before lockdown in March and even then on pitches which were nothing great we were still playing half decent football, so i think a lot of it this season is down to the personnel Kerr has brought in, or the fact they've not lived up to expectations. Made me realise too how many good players we've lost since last season, Doohan, Harvie, Forrest, Kelly and Drinan to an extent who've gone on to much better things. On top of that Houston is a shadow of himself and Roscoe i would say has gone backwards, watching those did make me appreciate a bit more that extent of rebuild Kerr had to do, would definitely say though last season our team had a lot more pace in it, especially the midfield, our play was much quicker up the park from back to front. We need to start seeing that style of play again pronto Harbinger of doom found 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing not to expectations and only 7 points off second place , 2 new signings and if they improve the team then that position could change rather quickly , did not look out of place on Saturday playing the currently( on league positions) second best team away from home and should have snatched a win , 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the new lad can add an extra something in the final third, which is where I though we were a bit lacking. It's funny, some of the games we've lost this year have come about due to moments of madness more than anything else. If those small periods of self-destruction can be sorted out, we'll be sitting further up the table than we currently are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't dismiss the notion that the part time teams can take points off any team in any given week either. What that does is compress the other 7 teams closer together. I don't see the 4th placed team having that many more points than the 5th place team come the end of the season. I was really impressed by Arbroath's tempo, work rate and application last Friday against Dundee. To get into the playoffs will be an absolute slog, week in week out. It's not about who plays the silkiest football, it's about who can grind out results when they're short through injuries or suspensions or when they're not 100% firing. Let's see how Ndaba and Wright improve things, not only by their playing ability but also with their physicality.

Hursty Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Mentality is a big thing as well. Morton last night a good example - 2-1 and a man down after half an hour v ICT but didnt chuck it and battled back for a point. Plus the game against us where they were dead and buried yet got the 3 late goals. You couldnt imagine our team doing either of those! That said - I'm confident of beating Alloa, although it's absolutely imperative we get the first goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see Dunfermline’s squad as being any better than ours tbh. No reason we shouldn’t be challenging them. They clearly are far better, but that’s a different point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason we shouldn’t be challenging them. They clearly are far better, but that’s a different point. Sometimes in football you just get a team that causes the other problems, it could be down to formation, mentality, luck or just a random intangible. We've had two goalless draws against them and gained pass marks in both, nothing more. To suddenly suggest that our squad is equal to theirs is fanciful I'm afraid. Take their bench from Saturdays match against us (excluding their young sub goalie) : McInroy, O'Hara, McCann, Murray, Mayo and MacDonald. Each of them would be regularly starting for us or certainly be making a big contribution to our starting eleven. They are on Dunfermline’s bench. Dunfermline’s playing budget will dwarf ours and its that which gets you quality and strength in depth. The final league table wont be far away from the playing budgets for each team.

Yeah, living off a reputation from a few years ago with Hibs. That being said, he's still young enough to turn his career round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was the same hype surrounding the last ex Rangers, ex English League 1, striker that Dundee signed last year and he didn't exactly strike fear into the rest of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he get into our starting eleven and improve us massively overall? Let's play fair, this thread would be in a meltdown of positivity if he'd signed for us.

It’s hardly a massive bench, filled with brilliant players. You are hugely overplaying it. Youth players plus three loanees and O’Hara. I don’t particularly think any of those players would be starting for us on the Dunfermline bench though. Potentially Mayo, but I’ve not seen enough of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke we've just signed has a more impressive read across than Cummings post Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
