Jack Reed Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 what I should have said Duffy would have been better ,but we will see next week his signings seem to have been much better ,It is fact that we have to many bad players at this low level . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another disaster of a season which could end up as our worst ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dextermorgan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Today we were totally impotent as usual and posed no real threat to Raith who weren't at their best. It did not help that we were set up not to lose rather than to have a go at them. Raith were always odds on to take the points so I fail to see the logic in going up their trying to contain them. Reminded me very much of Gary Bollan's approach to games and it ended with the same result. We have to throw caution to the wind now to get the points. I fearthat we will go to Dumbarton next week with the same approach and come back with the same result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have posted on the game thread but we are sinking fast as the teams below keep picking up points. We also look feckless in attacking ideas, Given that we had some weird shape and players in strange positions with Conroy "operating" in so many areas no one seemed to get up to support Duffy. As for bringing McIntosh on and then sticking him out wide right I despair. The corner kick defending still bemuses me , We never looked like even pressurising an ordinary Raith side in that last ten minutes. It may well be Findlay's side etc but the loan players and the return of Conroy has not given us a bounce. 40 points is needed but if we lose at Dumbarton next week then you have to rely on our home form which is worse than the rest of L1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dextermorgan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'm afraid that 40 points is not going to be enough. Teams have been relegated before with 40+, who would have envisaged this scenario at the start of the season? I really fear for this side as we go into the run in. From the start I was saying that we lack goal scorers in the side (in all positions) Murray hasn't really addressed this issue since he came in. Remember Bollan's side with a sound defence and Keigan Parker up front...we are much the same in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The teams below us ALL still have a game in hand as well, a small consolation is that Brechin play Stranraer, stennys game is against East Fife (i'm sure) and they're both on Tuesday, so we'll have a better idea.Worst case scenario is (imo) Brechin and Stenny win, that would leave Airdrie .. 34 ptsBrechin.. 31 ptsStenny... 30 ptsStranraer 29 pts Its an incredibly tight league, and I seriously don't fancy this teams "dig" to get us away from safety.Worrying times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She who dares gins Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 This team doesn’t have it in them for a relegation fight. Worst I’ve seen in years - I appreciate this is Findlay’s squad but Murray has done nothing to improve it or make them more organised in my opinion. It’s been the same dross since the Raith defeat early on. Absolutely raging at players that appear to have put a shift in for the cup tie and now vanished (with a couple of exceptions) and his loan signings have f*cking baffled me. Years of shite managerial appointments and boardroom chaos finally coming home to roost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years of shite managerial appointments and boardroom chaos finally coming home to roost. That's not really true though is it? He clearly thinks the current squad are hopeless and has tried to bring in players to address this. However we don't have the resources to bring in anything other than loan players. Unfortunately they aren't very good. Bizarrely, if he actually hadn't tried to improve the team I think we'd be slightly better off as the 'known quantity' of proven League One players (admittedly not very good ones) like Robertson, Miller, Stewart, Gallagher are probably a better bet at this point than boys on loan who look lost and have no investment. That is the dilemma for Murray until the end of the season, does he go for experience or does he persevere with young loanees, who may turn out to be decent players but aren't really going to change much over 8 games. And we are more organised, the back 3 has been a good move and we don't look like conceding too many. The issue is we have no midfield and no threat from out wide. Our strikers aren't very good either but in fairness they get nothing to work with. Since Murray has brought in Glass and tried to play a bit of football we've been worse off. Our mini run of form came when McIntosh was up front, missed out the midfield and just went direct and played off second balls. I'd be looking to bring back a couple of the more experienced guys, go direct and play from there. There is not a chance that we are going to be able to play our way out of this by playing football. We are solid enough at the back that if we can just get more of the game played in the final third then we will get some goals, at the moment the ball isn't even reaching that far up the pitch.
