Hope he's not aggravated his injury, looked to be struggling a bit after he scored, and was hooked soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS_Blue1919 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hope he's not aggravated his injury, looked to be struggling a bit after he scored, and was hooked soon after. Just tired. A heavyish grass pitch, 88 minutes is good for a 36 year old in their 2nd game back after injury. Nothing to worry about thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueSue Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I think he is managing his work rate very well. Even at 90% fit he scores the winner. The whole team put an unbelievable shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakpiegravy Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Have to say like most of us following on Twitter/radio I felt the ICT goal was inevitable but what a turnaround and you just have to say well done! Wasn’t expecting a draw let alone a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueSue Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 When you go away from home you need to be very tight and stay in the game until the last 20 minutes. Then you play a more expansive game to try and take a win or draw. Thats our game antics and on the whole it works very well. Go out hell for leather away from home and we will get spanked. The problem is our home form certainly not the away performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenortherner Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Today's game was a true 6 pointer, defeat could well have seen us in a real relegation battle. Still, it feels good this evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really speak from experience as I've only ever played amateur football but, for a generation of players who frequently move between different Scottish clubs, as long as it's 11 v 11 on a flat grass pitch in front of a tepid crowd, how much difference can home or away make? I'm not buying the idea we need to be drastically more defensive because we're away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I've noticed anybody being particularly negative. However, if it does happen, it certainly isn’t a regular thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Had a glance at the “in running” League table after about 70 minutes we were down to 7th and starting to worry about the possibility of resurgences coming from Patrick and Falkirk. At full time 5th place looks and feels a whole lot better courtesy of that late attacking blitz that we delivered. This league is full of hardworking, organised endeavour but certainly not quality - arguably we have as much if not more cutting edge in the final third than the vast majority of teams so this defensive inferiority outlook is simply not justified.Hopefully this can be a watershed moment for us and we can start playing much more positively especially at home and see where it takes us.

the tactician Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Oh and look what happens when we actually do attack! If you had been at the game you would have realised that we actually attacked a lot before this and had numerous chances! Team played really well yesterday and naysmith got his tactics spot on yet again, don’t mind when away from home he goes a bit more defensive as there are no easy games in this league and his subs worked again [emoji122] naysmith gets a lot of stick but I think he is doing a great job with the budget he has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that with the budget GN has and with the teams in the league on a par with one another we are having a very good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just assume it was a complete coincidence our goals game after we swapped an attacking player for a defensive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Stirling wasnt involved in either of the goals, I think your assumption is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not a major role it is Stirling who gives Marshall the ball and provides him with an option to allow him to take on the full back for the first goal.
