No_Problemo Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Trying to blame one person for that goal is hilarious tbh - Partick played it around under no pressure as they had for the entire half. I’m not sure who is most to blame but Bullen is up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 O’Conner is a wide player that likes to beat a man, JML is a wide player that doesn’t move forward. we didn’t use the wide players until O’Conner came on. Absolute waste of time having them on the park We basically played a 4-1-2 for the first 70 minutes. A shambles and not Bullens first, not even his first this month. I have lost all patience with him now. f**k him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever we playd down JMLs wing he either goes backwards or gets muscled off the ball. His Time is up. How many times did JML receive the ball out with his own half? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WATTOO Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Utter and total dross with the exception of the last 10 - 15 mins and it was basically an action replay (without the action) of the Elgin 90 mins with our last 10 today being like the Elgin extra time but minus the goals. Where has the tempo gone ? why are we so submissive ? where is the hunger ? Why was Daire not starting ? Why are we afraid to come forward ? Can anyone answer these questions ?? There's no doubt that Daire at this current moment has become our best player but for whatever reason Bullen isn't seeing this. JML just isn't up to it and maybe better as an impact sub on astro or locked away in a cupboard until the good weather comes in and the pitches improve. Even Ashford should be ahead of him at the moment as at least he contributes defensively and looks like a threat in the opponents box. I'd also be starting McKenzie ahead of Bryden (possibly tough but McKenzie links play much better) and McAlear with a bit of fitness just has to be in ahead of Smith who has ability but is far too lightweight for tough Midfield battles like today. The last 10 mins (similar to Elgin E/T) at least gives us some hope but this has to get sorted and sorted fast before we end up in 6th place and punted out the Cup by Falkirk......... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButAtWhatCost1 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 McGinty could have passed it back to the GK but done the classic of hit it out or punt it 40 yards up the field. Still doesn't excuse the defending from the resulting throw in mind you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely rank rotten today (along with many others). As has been said, we do not have any identity when playing, it’s horrendous to watch. I’m not looking forward to our trip to Starks Park on Friday night. My favourite was with about twenty minutes left when he tried to pass to an open McAllister under no pressure and missed him by over ten yards, straight into the main stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said somewhere else, it's somewhat frightening that the absolute best case here is that he's merely tactically no better in any capacity than Hopkin was, because the alternative is that the players simply don't give a shit what he's asking them to do (and haven't for months). John McGlynn must be thanking his lucky stars right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Wuffster got shouted at for suggesting we might face a crossroads with Bullen. Is he just a hype man or does he have wider qualities that can take us forward? It’s an open question for me, but Mathie is the man that will have to answer it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McGlynn must be thanking his lucky stars right now. Last season we had Adeloye up front on his own and rather than O’Conner, Bullen went with McKenzie out wide, who was rotten. This season he is persisting with JML and Dipo up front on his own. It is identical to last year, we are tying our hands behind our back before we kick off every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that moment what fucking game were you and @Ayr23 watching? Kirk was one of our best players today in terms of literally being the only player driving forward trying to create things except he was presented infront of him with a lot who looked as if they'd been borrow by Madame Tussauds for the day with the lack of movement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
