Yes,life after McInroy we still have some really good players, Easton is a ball player equal to any in this league, a great 3 point's a wee bit nervy towards the end, but I will take that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Another very important win. That’s the sixth home game this season where we’ve scored three goals, which is a massive improvement from all the 1-0 home defeats we used to see. I know we were talking about it recently but our record against every team except Cove or Montrose is incredible. Since we drew away at Queen’s Park in September, excluding Cove and Montrose we’ve taken 36/39 points against everyone else, the defeat at Alloa the only points dropped. We’ve not always performed at our best in that time but we’ve continually ground out wins and to be fair we have generally played some very good football too. I’m not sure how I feel about next week’s game. On the one hand it’s a welcome break for a very small squad ahead of some massively important league games but a week to try and bring some more players in might be a good thing. There’s no reason why we can’t go and give Thistle a good game next week, it’ll be tough but it’s a winnable tie. I posted this on the match thread too but fair play to Leon McCann. Probably the worst player on the pitch today and we’re now 16 points ahead of Falkirk despite playing most of the season without a left back. I’m certainly not begrudging him his move, he’d be daft not to take a three-year deal, but it certainly hasn’t worked out for him so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 First it's a super 3 points and up to 2nd in League. As others have pointed out the real target is somehow to reel in Cove and it might be others to put a wee dent in them. Our squad is bare bones but their recent displays are so much better than last season. The fast and close moving of the ball today was delightful, especially Easton. Yes Morrison missed a pinch and some save by Currie and we let them get that early goal after half time . We seemed to fail to match up to their 3-5-2 in that half which did make it nervy. I could not see what was wrong with disallowed goal. They now seem so far behind that their Title chance is gone but top. 4 also looks gone. All depends on QP. McCann had some dodgy moments and I was glad Nesbitt only came on late. Now for the distraction of a cup run? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've still not given. Up hope of us getting McIlroy back. These things can take time and until he's away playing for another team, we still have a shout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dextermorgan Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Great result today with some terrific football at times. The next month however will make or break our season and today highlighted one major aspect for me. We need more height and physicality in the side. When it comes to playing Montrose and Cove we have come off second best in that respect. Against Morton in the playoffs it was our downfall to a large degree. Just watch how Partick's Brian Graham terrorises us on Saturday as is the norm. Here's hoping for some 'big' signings during the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I haven’t seen it mentioned too much but Fordyce and Watson’s argument today reminded me of the time Joe Cardle ran across the park to headbutt Marc Smyth in a 4-4 draw with Livingston. Livingston’s strikers that day were Armand One and Leigh Griffiths, what a team! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there and the football was sh1t and it got us nowhere. Crichton would be classed as being bigger that our current defenders. Paul McKay too. Couldn't pass 5 yards and resorted to long punts up the park. Falkirk's team was full of big players today. They could barely string 5 passes together and we beat them. It's a fine balance but the current team are playing some excellent football and that usually starts at the back now with excellent control, passing and build up play. Who do we drop from the team to replace with big guys? McCabe? Frizzell? That's our two wee guys and I don't think many people would fancy them to be dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the replay in slomo. Hits Allan's chest but at full speed and one time of viewing I think the ref sees it hitting an arm.

Same as at the time, I still don't know why that's been chopped off. If anything, it highlights how unbelievably poor the ref was for both teams, as there were a few we got I thought were soft also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb determination and play from Frizzell but the keeper shouldn't be getting beaten like that at his near post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done ok but had a couple of injuries therefore not really had a decent run of games. Certainly physically big strong and quick enough to make an impact at league 1 level but how further remains unknown. Just turned 21 so now getting to the make or break stage. Wasn't even 19 when he made his debut for Dunfermline so maybe a bit previous to right him off just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s started six or seven games and has scored a few goals too, as well as a double in the Clyde game last month which was abandoned. He picked up a nasty looking injury that day while scoring his second goal. I think most of our fans like him. I’m still not sure how good he actually is but there’s definitely something likeable about him. He started the season as a strangely effective right winger, despite possessing absolutely none of your classic winger’s qualities, as he was a good option for getting on the end of long diagonals and generally caused the opposition problems. I can see why he struggled in the Championship, to be honest we seem like the first club he’s actually done fairly well at, but he seems to fit in well here and we’re definitely worse off at the moment not having him as an option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
