My comment was a truthful reflection on what I have viewed. Your comment brings down the tone of this forum nut that is for you to reflect on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Talbot should join the seniors then instead of being a bunch of ambitionless shitebags.Anyway, was disappointing last night, Dundee didn't look great but didn't really have to be. They managed the game well but that is what it is and can't really complain, we played into it with the niggles. Just need to pick ourselves up and work our way out of this little rut we're in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league is pretty tight and we could find ourselves falling down the table if we're not careful. We've actually not been awful in the last three games, we just need to take advantage of our good periods of play and clear the ball properly. I back Kerr 100% and was reasonably happy with his appointment, especially compared to some of the names linked to the job. Hopefully he gets a few wins soon to prove the doubters wrong. 100% THIS. As I was telling my suicidal mates last night, I would be worried if we'd lost 3 on the bounce and been completely destroyed and outclassed but we haven't. On the other hand the likes of Dundee Utd were scudded 4-0 by Queens and then completely outclassed in a 1-0 defeat against part time Alloa which WOULD have alarm bells ringing. It's a really tight league, we've got a lot of injuries in key areas at the moment and unfortunately we've not been taking our chances BUT we're still competing ok so for me that's the main thing as sooner or later things will come right. As for last night, it was a tight game but once Dundee went ahead they were extremely professional, although I did think their negativity and lack of self belief in the final 20 mins may actually come back and bite them as there was no doubt that we were there for the taking. You would think with the amount of quality they have they should be putting teams away when they're on top rather than trying to hold on to a narrow lead ? Still, they got their 3 points and we left with nothing so I suppose they got the job done ok. No issues with Kerr or the tactics as he was left with little choice but to bring on Moore for Geggan as we had no midfield replacements available. The Morton game on Tuesday now becomes really important as I can see a few of our fans are close to the plot losing stage and no doubt it will be poor Mark Kerr and or Kris Doolan who will bear the brunt. Where's Chris Aitken when you need him........................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether tactics or lack of belief we had a period of 15 minutes or so where our midfield just stopped. After 60 minutes of decent work it disappeared. We got it back in the last 10 but that was a real worry. Not so sure about you rating us having quality players and should be better. Some decent players yes but we have had to tear this squad apart from last season and no surprise it is still hard work (Forster in defence for a start!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just felt that you could easily have put the game to bed but seemed to be really negative rather than putting us out of our misery when you had the chance. Incidentally, that's the best I've seen McDaid play at Somerset for about two years !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, they got their 3 points and we left with nothing so I suppose they got the job done ok. I think if Ayr had really gone all out Dundee would have collapsed and given an equaliser up. Your points about Dundee are fair enough, but I'd argue that you're talking about a Dundee that doesn't really exist, yet. We've blown leads and been prone to disappointing results since the start of the season. Confidence can't be that high. McPake has made mistakes in terms of tactics and player usage, so the team simply isn't used to going ahead and then taking games by the scruff in order to see them out. It's not a particularly deep squad either, so I think you're probably overestimating the quality available as well. The arse falling out against Partick happened after we'd subbied on a 16 year old and a 17 year old, so it's not like we can just take off Dorrans or Gowser once they tire and replace them with a like-for-like player. If we're still blowing leads and looking shakey as hell late in games after new year then aye, it's time to worry, but right now Dundee simply aren't at the stage where you can realistically expect them to just throttle the life out of matches once they get a lead.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 In the second half (especially the last 20 minutes) that was the most comfortable we've been holding a lead at any time this season. It would have been nice to win more a easily but 3 pts was all that mattered after last week's arse collapse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, scrappy wins are going to be the modus operandi of this team for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Auchinleck Talbot would win this league this season. The standard I have watched on the Fri night games has been very poor.They'd be lucky to get a point. They would get pumped regularly by every team. Junior football is awful but good for a piss up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I think he’s talking about Kris Doolan. That guy who left Talbot almost 11 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 You'd think no one has ever sprung cup upsets before.Until Talbot decide to take a punt on the seniors, they will remain shitebags scared of diluting their reputation among the backwater villages around Scotland. Sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup games have no relevance to where a club would finish in a league. Doolan also has no relevance to anything. Neither do you really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
