Always nice to get constructive criticism Honestly? You're lucky to get any updates at all since the person who did it before left. There wont be any for the next two games and if people are going to complain about a lack of updates during a 0-0 theres a good chance there wont be any after that either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got deep in the second half and County got on top, without ever coming terribly close. In terms of sights of goal we maybe just shaded it, but overall, a draw was about right. This. We played some nice football going forward but County were far better at the back than anyone else we've faced. Defensively we looked pretty solid, I dont recall Martin making any save of note - BBC stats have Count with 0 shots on target. Special mention to McLean though, absolutely awful. Vigours was booked for a deliberate block second half, after getting away with an almost identical block first half. Jacobs is booked for his first tackle then several County players get warnings. Dykes managed to give away a foul while being hauled to the ground and Stirling was punched in the face without even a booking Didnt effect the result but so poor from one of Scotlands, supposed, top refs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t really add much to that. With both teams matching each other all over the park we were hoping for a moment of magic from Dobbie to steal it but it didn’t come. He was well marshalled all game.I wish we’d brought Frizzell on 10 minutes earlier, he livened things up when we’d gone a bit flat.Doyle, Stirling and Dykes were the best for us. As mentioned Dobbie had a quiet game and Harkins’ performance was a mixed bag with some lovely moments intertwined with some really slack play.We have a pretty capable team but Jacobs and Mercer are obvious weaknesses if we are looking to improve on last season. Jacobs negates all the good work he does winning the ball by constantly giving it away. Mercer hasn’t improved enough in his time with us to suggest he’ll get much better.

Guest Flash Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Dobbie looks to me like he is carrying an injury. Probably the same one he picked up in the Diddy Cup game last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS_1919 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The Semple and Doyle partnership is working a treat and Todd being played in the middle has improved our game a hell of a lot. Special mention to GN for his ability to bring out the best in Dykes. Looking at last season I'd never have guessed that Lyndon had that in him. I really believe that he'll keep improving as well.

Northfield 53 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Decent game draw probable about right . We had the better chances in the 1st half Dobbie hit the bar and Dykes had 2 good efforts but that is Dykes only fault he just does not score enough goals . Frizzell should have been on with at least 20 mins to go his pace was causing them problems he was allmost in at the end County lucky that the ball hit a defender . I suppose it is a decent point you can see why County are fav. for the league they have a very good squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Like everyone else basically I enjoyed that. Good entertaining contest without much in the way of goalmouth action. Comfortably the best team we have played so far but we matched them and for me shaded it. Dykes was twice one on one on Fox first half albeit from a tight angle and close range and Fox made two good blocks. Dobbie hit the bar, and right at the end Jacobs half volley would be a goal either side of where he hit it. Martin had nothing to do. Michael Doyle was immense and Callum Semple not far behind him. Really impressed with our defending today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmy_cammy Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Ooft. Thats harsh, very harshIt probably is, every good team needs a player like that. He’s had two poor performances in a row which have pissed me off though. We’ve a team full of players capable of some lovely one-touch play and moving the ball about quickly. As soon as it comes to him (or Mercer) the move breaks down and we lose possession. He gives away too many daft free-kicks around the box as well.I appreciate the work Jacobs does, but I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a midfielder that can make tackles AND pass the ball 10 yards.

Jacobs does do a lot of the essential leg work and chasing shadows so i can forgive him for perhaps giving ball away a little often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeMan Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Encouraging that we can go toe-to-toe with County and get a draw without relying on our front four. It's understandable why Naysmith was unwilling to make a change in such a tight game but Frizzell has shown he's more than capable and going forward we might be more confident making a sub to avoid a second half slump.
