hedgeman83 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Great to get the 3 points was much needed wasn't the best game. Jacko looked like he struggled today think he's,better when he's got another striker to play off maybe Kavanagh and Hendry would be a good combination up front ?

brechincity Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 3 points at long last but what a relief once that ball finally ended up over the line. Thought wee Burns had a brilliant game and deserving of his MotM, not forgetting Paddys brilliant save and the bottom right hand corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no coincidence that our defence is looking more confident now with Paddy in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to quite a lot of games and I don’t think the defence has been the problem at all, our back 4 is as good as any in this league and better than most, if anything they have get us in games, it’s good to see mcclean back at right back aswell he’s been very good the last two games also, the midfield has been a massive issue for us since we got promoted, I’d still like another winger in and another cm and striker, Scott Robertson is just what we needed, takes the ball keeps it simple and picks up second ball, paddy had a great save against dumbarton but I also feel he might have done better for the Arbroath goal, I hope he gets a run tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 36 seconds in, watch Paton nearly break his spine trying to NOT head a cross away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought at the time that Paton's first booking was harsh, but watching it back it's ridiculously harsh. He goes for the ball, Burns gets there before him and he clips him. It's not high, dangerous, forceful or malicious. He's just not quick enough. He conceded two fouls in the entire game and got booked for both. I've been impressed by how lenient the referees have been this season, but Kevin Graham Gavin Duncan (knew it was a guy with two first names!) was horribly inconsistent yesterday. The second was really daft though. I know he's not a full-back, but he's an experienced player. Surely he knows that's a crazy risk to take. Full deserved to be sent-off for that alone tbh.

sonsanorak Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 At the 2nd foul he seems exposed by Hutton and Paton ends up turning to tackle the player running in behind him. Hutts certainly seems bothered by something after it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong side, from behind with the wrong foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 That's stupid from Paton IMO. Even if the first is soft he knows he's on a yellow and it's a seriously daft tackle from someone who should know better. That red card is probably the biggest contribution he's made since he signed. Hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a few are handed out because of persistent fouling (Ben Armour yesterday for example, a decision the referee got spot on) but it seems like, for the first half an hour, a lot of referees will let almost anything go. If a foul is a booking, it's a booking. Doesn't matter who the player in question is, or what minute is on the clock. As I said though, I've been impressed with the standard of officiating in League One this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who bankrolls them, because they certainly aren’t making money from gate receipts. Stranraer and Cowdenbeath (until recently) have been similar cases.

The ref was having a good game but for some reason decided that he needed to start booking players.

The mistakes have been fewer since Paddy has arrived. Dougie Hill, for one, looks more like a defender again these last few games. Burns getting MOM also adds testament to that. Tapping for me has been quite solid too. Agree about Robertson though . He is starting to help the likes of Ewan Smith get back to the form they showed before .

I agree hill looks back at it, had a dip n form but has been excellent since airdrie, I’m struggling to think of a blunder from any of our defenders that have cost us tho, mcgeever at east fife is all Iv got, tge best form of defence is attack so I’m hoping for at least a striker and attacking midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
