Eric the half a b Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 24 minutes ago, Diamonds are Forever said: I wasn't at that East Fife game away where we drew 2-2 so it might be an exception to this, but today's performance was no worse than any of our recent games since we beat East Fife 4-0. Clyde away was rubbish, Peterhead at home I thought we got outplayed for large chunks but managed 2 early goals to give us something to defend, Forfar at home was exactly like today except we got a goal from a set-piece. Last week was a different level of opposition but the same flaws existed. The difference is this time we didn't scrape a goal and when you don't manage to get the result suddenly there is far more focus on the performance. Regardless of the system we have been playing like this for weeks. We had a month where a new system and a long throw spooked teams, since teams found that out we've gone back to the team we were at the start of the season. It's been said before but it's only because of how poor the top teams have been so far that we were even in with a shout of challenging, with Falkirk finally hitting their stride I think those hopes of a title are gone. Our back 4 is good, and we have good options up front. Those 2 things mean we will scrape results throughout the season, however the major problem that everyone can see is that there is a giant vacuum in midfield. It offers no protection to the defence, and offers no support to the attack. Today we had 2 different teams playing for us - defence and attack. The 'back 6' would win the ball and kick it as quickly as possible to the 'front 4', who would then be expected to create something despite the service being 40-50 yard punts down the pitch. It's almost like Murray has just accepted we are hopeless in the middle so just to completely bypass it. Unfortunately that is not the solution either. I have absolutely no idea what the solution is with the options we have, but Murray is going to have to find something to ensure we get the play-offs. Agree with you the form since the Clyde game has been poor soon as saw the team today was like forwards against defence in training. Why would we need 6 defensive players at home today. The clyde game a certain midfielder was dropped who happens to be our best the manager has to answer why change a winning formation and if he cant see his obsession with certain players and a long throw we may get to the playoff game but that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
