Granny Danger Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Once again today’s tactics have left me baffled, frustrated and worried. Execellent first 45 minutes with two goals, the second one really well worked. This was largely as a result of playing an attacking formation. Under no real pressure from Falkirk. Dropped the pace for the first 18 minutes of the second half but still dominated the game and, again, little pressure from Falkirk. 63rd minute, 3 subbies and with no need to change the formation we do leading to a relatively uncomfortable last half hour. Clark being denied a chance to play in a two with Safranko. Makes no sense. Falkirk unable to capitalise but if they had it would have been an uncomfortable end to the game. Ignoring next week we are potentially 4 games away from promotion and whilst I’m convinced we have the players to achieve that I’m worried that the game management will be badly handled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if it's as complicated as that Granny. Game was won before half time and Falkirk were offering f**k all in terms of threat. If Queens had won yesterday, I reckon we'd have won by 6 today. He gave some lads a run out and others a rest. It was nothing more thsn a training excercise second half, which is a bit of a shame, as I reckon we would have murdered them had we kept up the intensity. That being said, why take the risk in a meaningless game which was already won? We have bigger fish to fry in the coming weeks..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyFears2 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Yeah, a nothing game yesterday. Boys like Connolly & Pawlett got a complete rest, and Clark starting on the bench. Sow was decent, comfortable with the ball at his feet. Falkirk keeper had a good first half, could’ve / should’ve been 4/5-0.Falkirk upped their approach then on 60 mins Neilson made the triple sub (should’ve kept a sub back imo)Then the game died. Until injury time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want forward momentum, I think it’s important. Neilson’s game management is awful and I hope it doesn’t end up costing us promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Pulled his groin I think. Taken off straight away so hopefully not too serious.Not entirely accurate mate. He pulled up when running against Dixon with a couple of minutes to go in the first half. He shouldve been hooked straight away so why he came out for the second half is a mystery. No point risking him yet kept on and made the injury worse. Poor management to be honest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him pulling up against Dixon and assumed he was just winded because as he walked backed after the ball had gone out there was no indication he had any discomfort. Possibly trying to mask it as he didn’t want to go off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 He put his hand on his hamstring straight away and signalled he didnt want the ball for the remainder of the half. I assumed he wouldnt appear for the second half yet he did. A ridiculous decision considering the game was won and we have important matches coming up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkle Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The ball was down his side and he was telling his teammates to look elsewhere and not pass to him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Regarding McMullan, he put his thumb up to the bench as if he was ok to continue after pulling up in the run with Dixon. But as Twinkle says, he then avoided involvement for the remainder of the half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could’ve (possibly should’ve) had a clean sweep and none could complain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pav voted POTY by both the fans and the players so who, apart from those two groups, really has a say on the subject? Presumably the coaching team? Fair enough, I suppose. Perhaps should be re-named Teacher's Pet Award. Nice for McMullan to get some recognition though. Started the season being told he was surplus to requirements and is still not particularly appreciated by a sizeable minority of the support. At least he kens his boss appreciates him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
