Agreed and is basically what I said, and a long way from suggesting we've got largely a L2 squad Either he's got that in the pool, think he had that earmarked for the most recent signing whose injured, or he doesnt If it's the latter he'll just need to go back to basics and find a way to first and foremost be hard to beat, scrap for every point, and build up some confidence until we get to January when we could possibly get someone in subject to availability / funds available. Still wasn't long ago we stuck 3 past Dumbarton and but for their keeper could have had more against Thistle. So a very poor week aye, but it doesn't mean major surgery's needed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have had decent reviews off Thistle fans and his former teacher. Would settle us right down if so. Also feel Lamont should be starting most weeks, by far our most likely midfielder to create anything. Sure he lead the assists chart last season. A midfield 3 of the above could complement each other well if Palmer ticks the boxes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow's game, the official site says "Season card holders who are opted-in to live streams will automatically have access via the match page. All card balances will be reduced by £10 following Tuesday."Does that mean I'll be paying from my ticket co wallet balance whether I watch it not? I can't recall opting in for cup games.Not too bothered one way or the other but I'm curious to see if I've signed up to something without realising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I'm sure they didn't do it for the Dumbarton game as they didn't have a way of synching it up with season tickets yet. I'm also sure that this season it will apply for season tickets because it's the wallet thing. So we haven't just paid for X league games, there's plenty excess cash that we can use for whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfielder Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 If it’s anything like the last 3 game, we shouldn’t need COVID tests, as we never got close enough to anyone to pass anything on to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is /was an option to opt out but you had to take the required action. It was all explained on the OS but I can't remember if there was a time limit for opting out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replays Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Disappointed to be going in 1-0 down to be honest. Miles better than Saturday anyway. A of quick observations: Cunningham is a big player for us, adds a lot of pace going forwards. Robertson has played quite well IMO. Won and moved the ball well. Definitely looks as though he’ll get sent off at least once for a clumsy two footer. Cuddihy hasn’t played particularly well. He’s been outmuscled quite easily and had a couple of instances of passing to nobody. We do make a lot of daft wee mistakes in possession, just off the top of my head, Bain had a headed pass intercepted which to a chance for Killie. Little things I know but given our *ahem* fragile defence, I’d rather we cleared our lines first and foremost. Our full back area really will lose us loads of goals. Teams are really targeting a through ball in behind both Bain and Shiels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawfielder Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Surely he has to try Syvertsen close to Goodiewillie, it did seem to work, takes pressure off Goodie, its the only time in the last 3 or 4 games where we have carried any threat, that along with Cunningham looking sharp, sounds like an option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 We can discuss and debate all we like about support for Goodie, that’s been an unanswered problem for 2-3 years now. However our biggest issue is the fact we cannot keep a clean sheet. We have ongoing issues at fullback we all know about and centre midfield, again not addressed, which is hugely disappointing. I thought Bain was a step forward but having watched the games now, he is not an improvement on Cuddihy. In fact if we could get a proper CM then I’d definitely move Barry back to full back. LB is still an issue obviously. Shiels is either not ready or not good enough. Both fullbacks give the ball away constantly. End of the day unless we get one / preferably 2 Centre midfield players in then we will go down, certainly on evidence so far. Back 4 no matter who we have in have zero protection and even more worrying cannot keep hold of the ball, which also adds to the lack of protection problem as teams just find it too easy to build attacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Didn’t watch; but 2-1 up going into last 5 mins and we lose! Garbage!

We didn't really collapse at all, looked in total cruise control at 2-1 and then inexplicably got caught high up the park. The third was a goalkeeping error. It's terrifying how easily we can ship goals. The main positive for me was Lloyd Robertson who has been much better in the defensive midfield role than Cuddihy. Lamont really tidy in possession as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
