CALDERON Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) That third goal just sums up exactly why we are still in this league. That forward should never, ever get that rebound. Getting out this league requires a fundamental change in how we defend. Letting Mcgurn pull of fantastic saves whilst the defence are slow as f**k to react, will not get us out this league.

Clayhole Blue Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 By “we’re”, I mean my car full! I have a feeling the Rovers have quite a few trips down in the near future. My mates and I are finished though. Pretty much how I felt going to see us at Starks for about 25 years until we finally got a win last year [emoji23] Didn’t stop going though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball has to go away from goal or over the bar there. After that it's 50/50 between attacker and defender and the attacker got a bit of luck with the break of the ball.

Scary Bear Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 That third goal is just an absolute disaster for us. Second goal isn’t much better. Brutal. Thank f**k I had another birthday party to attend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I agree the yellow shirt is a fucking hex, it serves us right for looking like the fife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting out this league requires a fundamental change in how we defend. Letting Mcgurn pull of fantastic saves whilst the defence are slow as f**k to react, will not get us out this league. It’s not just our central defence, but they didn’t help. Our midfield are nowhere during that move for the third goal. Of course it could be that the midfield are running on empty and we don’t have anyone to stick on in their place.You could pretty much write the script for this season already. We had played 2 league games before yesterday and were already down to that bench.I reckon a few people would give McKay at go at centre back beside Davidson. See if it works again. However, as McGlynn has signed Mendy and Bene and Davidson are the pairing, that may not happen.Looking at the rest of that bench we will struggle a bit if we don’t get lucky with injuries and suspensions. First XI looks okay but there’s not much back up. We’ll have to hope that other teams are affected more than we are.Honourable mention to Davidson and Bene falling about on their arses at the second goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That yellow away strip is part of the problem. It should be binned.I really like our home strip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, keepers too far off his line and as with the first goal Raith don't have anyone defending the space in front of the box. At 2-1 down I couldn't see how Faz could change the players on the park and turn the game around, Pignatiello was excellent but taking him off and bringing on Smith changed the game for Stranraer. MoM again for Elliott setting up the first goal and scoring the third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh on the keeper, I think that ot was a decent enough save at full stretch. Not as though he spilled the ball, there was ample opportunity to clear the danger. Point probably stands for the 2nd goal though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Stranraer have a few of their injured players back before then they may get a draw Glad to see the blues prove me wrong. Good win for Stranraer and seemingly a very decent game to watch. Will have to give the highlights a viewing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Unconvincing goalkeeping at the first and third goals really. That's three goals in the last two games that McGurn hadn't covered himself in glory for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's three goals in the last two games that McGurn hadn't covered himself in glory for. What could he have done for the first? Looked a good strike with plenty behind it. Third goal he should be pushing it wide but having made the save the defence should be first to it to clear it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue1870 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 How anyone can blame mcgurn for the first goal is beyond me. It was a screamer right into the corner. Even if he dived he wouldn't have saved it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
