tree house tam Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm.not advocating that he plays by any means but Jason Kerr would've strolled that game in a three at the back, certainly would have done better than the Man U lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Good, a few things in that interview suggests that Clarke knows this wasn’t any good. He’s trying to keep it positive for the media but hopefully behind the scenes he’s changing things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) 30 minutes ago, Diamonds are Forever said: Reading the comments from the last two games, is the penny starting to drop that our 'quality midfield' is in fact a bunch of bang average midfielders who contribute next to nothing? Most of them can float about playing a few nice passes but they do not impact a game and go missing far too often. Our squad is dreadful, we have two quality left backs, poor centre backs and right backs, an average midfield group, and one striker who is very limited. There will always be issues with selection and tactics etc so the manager can't just be excused. But as a group of players it's the worst we've ever had and has been for a few years now. Even wee Berti got us a draw with Germany and a win against Holland (admittedly followed by a horsing!), no chance this group could get results like that. Not this shit again. In that draw with Germany we had Maurice Ross, Steven Pressley, Paul Devlin and Stevie Crawford in the starting XI. Gavin Rae and Steven Thompson came off the bench. You can add Lee Wilkie into the group for the win over the Netherlands. I shouldn't be surprised, but it's incredible that even after these two games where the manager has so obviously got it completely wrong, we still have people saying "it's just the standard of players, it's the worst squad we've ever had, what are managers supposed to do?"

BucksburnDandy Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Undeniably poor again tonight but the history books will only show a 2-1 win in the Czech Republic so let's be thankful for that.First the handful of positives - Marshall was superb, Dykes once again very good, Christie looked bright again, Armstrong was decent and McKenna again looked pretty comfortable, twice in a week for the big guy.In terms of players, really not sure how Kenny McLean lasted 90 minutes out there as he was brutally bad. Palmer was dozy tonight, McTominay isn't a centre half but that's not his fault that everyone wants to shoehorn him in there.The same faults as Friday in terms of the formation, it stunted any creativity we had going forward and once Clarke did his usual sitting back tactic once we got the lead, the centre of midfield was too light in numbers leading to an onslaught for the defence. Ultimately we are more comfortable playing 4-5-1/4-2-3-1/4-3-3 and I would like to see us revert back to that for the playoffs.A word for the Czechs who were a decent team and probably would be a good League C outfit if given time and preparation, better than a number of countries we've been beat by (Georgia and Kazakhstan to name two).Ultimately to play poorly over two games and get four points is a positive but we desperately need to see signs of progress soon under Clarke as it was difficult to take too much positives over the last two matches. However, top of the league and probably a point better off than I thought we would be so I'll take that as my positive viewpoint for tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
