Brief spells of the Talbot magic we’ve come to worship last few seasons but also some silly mistakes. Troon will feel hard done by as turned out a decent first half performance. IMO I will say tho is going down clutching your face within a one meter radius of Gee an accepted tactic now? thankfully didn’t have the intended result but these first three games I’ve never seen so many players go down screaming with little to no contact!! If you add up the time wasted doing so you’d have easy another 5 minutes to get a winner or an equaliser. Anyway much better second half and really happy where we are at. Amazing attendance at Beechwood today and hope folk turn out next Saturday as well, great to see crowds back and all the best to Troon, looks a decent squad. as a rule I'd say if you're going to do all the squealing stuff at least don't jump straight back up as soon as you realise the decision isn't going your way, it just makes you look like an absolute fud. Troon were about as bad as I've seen for it today while they were protecting their lead. Predictably the instances of it stopped as soon as Talbot took the lead. They had a decent bit of attacking threat so I've no idea why more teams chose to "stick" rather than "twist" when they're clearly in with a sluggers chance of adding to their lead. Talbot weren't in anything like top gear but with guys like Shankland and Samson ready to come of they just needed to wear the opponent down and let the fresh legs do the rest. Talbot will benefit from that sort of squad depth like never before with all the games ahead. A wee word on Boylan who played the full match and put in an amazing shift in that heat. He was everywhere and his contributions to play were usually impressive as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot supporter Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 That's what happens when a team goes up 1nil against us, we should be used to it by now. Hurlford were the worst I have seen at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just perplexed as to why folk think it’s a good idea? Lucky if it works one in ten and it’s a poor watch. Time wasting at 20mins into a game is surreal and I don’t subscribe to the weaker team argument for it. Get the ball and play! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo i'd like to see us sign another centre back and a wing back, think thats where we need it the most. Not because we are weak in those areas, more about squad depth with the number of games we've to play this season.(though there is a reason i'm a video guy and not a manager lol) Edited July 24, 2021 by Killiepiyo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely missing peewee in the middle PeeWee is unbeilevable on his day, any team would miss a player like him. I've been really impressed with Healy, came back some player since lock down. Can tell he's been taking on advice from Whitey and the management team. Doesn't have PeeWee's height granted but some killer balls and control, great prospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
