FifeSons Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Aye, I think it’s pretty clear now we’re going to finish 10th, never mind play-offs. I’d be amazed if anyone disagreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 A lot of harsh comments here, I fully agree that the defensive members shuffled that much was a dreadful decision, but I thought we shaded the first half. Adam has been worse, as has Hutton, but the usual stick from the stands doesn’t help. Ben Armour I thought, and Barr were quite useful, big henk strolled it, liked the look of Ferguson, but melingui was excellent Cook is a complete c**t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you’re right, but the team is garbage. As BBPF says, when your best player is someone Brechin have just binned, it says a lot. When you look at our next five games, it’s hard to see us taking a single point. Plus with the teams around us sorting themselves out, it’s hard to see us finishing above anyone.

Nowhereman Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 On a day where both teams and the referee were poor the stand side linesman still managed to outdo them in incompetence. I don't think he made one decision all day. Waited for the ref to make the decision every time before putting his flag up. As for the football we can criticise formations all we want but when you have so many players in the team (not them all but a good majority) who clearly don't give a fcuk then it's no surprise we are where we are. I thought the defence was fairly decent given they'd just been thrown together. In front of that there was nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Strange game. Should have been a couple of goals to the good before Dumbarton scored with one of their rare forays forward. I thought they'd see the game out but a moment of madness at the back gifted us a pen which Rennie, as he almost always does, tucked away. Would have taken a point before the game, but feel slightly flat not getting them all. Great to see Milne back, and more importantly, picking up where he left off. I still think we are a player two or light, and not sure about Callaghan at all. Next week looks like being a decent contest - shame I'll be missing it.

optimistic Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Many around me would think they are Jim Duffy, shouting at players, constantly telling them how to do their job, I certainly wouldn’t like someone shouting at me while I’m working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo71 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The officialsdebate is endless and i wont go into it.Fans will always complain.But as for the support , there is a reasonable size element that have been critical and continue to be so.That is my experience of SONS games over 30 years.

We really need to forget about such minor things like the very odd shout from the stand or the odd decision the ref gets wrong and start worrying about our piss poor players and bizarre decisions from the manager.

What do you suggest we do? We have several players returning from long term injuries plus new players thrust into the team/On top of that some players that are poor while we have others that are still injured.Its not exactly a great situation.I will give you though the odd positioning of players something which SA was a master at.Im willing to give JD time and with another signing or two we can get ateam that can at least stay up this year. Whats more worrying wont help anyone and wont change anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordo1872 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Jim Duffy can’t be blamed for two players failing to deal with a simple ball. The defender needs to put that out, he doesn’t, and we concede a soft penalty. That’s got fck all to do with Duffy. For large parts of the game I thought we looked comfortable at the back. Montrose has very little in terms of clear cut chances. A draw was a fair result but we shot ourselves i.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 What do you suggest we do? Play players in their natural positions/positions they have been performing well in. Not look to nitpick and blame referees/linesmen/fans shouting and start to accept that we have a shite squad of players and a manager that has done nothing to improve us since he arrived.

BallochSonsFan Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Duffy was the manager that most fans wanted. For better or worse, he's the guy we need to hope will get it right. I thought there were a few positives today. Ballantyne did well enough at left back and Carswell had a solid game. Boris showed a lot of effort and was generally a pest. Negatives? I thought the big Dutchman looked clumsy and was awkward tackling. I thought the game passed our midfield by - Hutton will get the usual criticism from some but he wasnt any worse than Thomson or Forbes. Bobby Barr wasn't involved enough. We were poor. It's difficult to see how this group of players turns things around. Craig Barr coming in allows Ferguson to play left back and Ballantyne to play right back. It allows Carswell to play in midfield. It still doesnt answer the questions regarding creativity or actually being able to bury chances and it doesnt solve the goalkeeping problem if neither Adam nor Smith are the answer. Improvements needed fast because right now I wouldn't pick us to win a relegation play-off, if we even manage to scrape 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
