The style of play is utterly horrendous and we’re not even creating opportunities. Midfield needs sorted first imo. Along with the style of play. It's the same kind of one paced midfield that was the issue last season. A year on and nothing has changed. Sticking Morrison up front just exacerbated the issue today. Whoever's idea that was needs a kick in the stains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 3 minutes ago, Russ said: Gutless and embarrassing performance. Playing against 10 men for half an hour and created absolutely f**k all and barely even deserved a point. Fucking hopeless. I’d give pass marks to Paul Dixon and that’s it. The rest not even close to being good enough. Another game where the managers have shat the bed and fucked it. The conditions were awful but when you have the rolls Royce in Gomis and Dixon coping, it shows the standard of the rest. Asking Sammon to hold the ball up is like asking Durnan to go mistake free. The 90 min double sub is in the picture dictionary under useless, next to last week's double striker swap. We missed a glorious chance to go further ahead and put Thistle in a further slide, poor show today from the management team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 That is now 9 fixtures against full-time opposition in League One since we got relegated, and we haven't won even one of them. 6 of those have been under M&M. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We desperately need a striker in the door next month. When can you pick him up? Just be careful he is very fragile... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALJAGS76 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I didn't even know it was possible to get a straight red for dissent. That must have be some impressive use of swear words 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The approach today wasn't really a surprise, merely a repeat of the game at Starks Park in March when they went there frightened to death of a bang average Raith Rovers and a draw was celebrated like we had just trucked away the Champions League. Difference then was that Miller brought himself on late on to give us some sort of viable hold-up play for their appalling hoof ball and in McManus we had an in-form striker capable of scoring from even the meagre chances he was given. This season, middle to front, if Morrison isn't on it, we have precious little to offer, make that nothing. Sammon, on one goal, is probably the least bad of the currently available strikers. Says it all. Million miles away from being good enough. We need so much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Oh. My. God. Just awful. Dixon & Gomis by a clear margin, then Mutch, maybe Hall, otherwise did anyone else deserve their place today? Todd, Miller, Mercer all woeful. Sammon all too easily in the Centre-half's back pocket. Again. Alston is a real worry 'cause he just looks shit now, and Morrison's form has fallen off a cliff. We've looked toothless, clueless and sub-standard in the last two games. Could be out there playing right now and still wouldn't score create a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact our goals are coming from just about everywhere bar our strike force is an issue and there have been games where we've passed up numerous decent chances (Not saying today was one of them mind). Fully agree we need more creative players in the middle of the park. The likes of Leitch and Todd aren't going to do enough for us and it's a mystery to me why they were kept on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is ok when he gets up a head of steam but otherwise he hasn't the speed off the mark and is too similar in that respect to miller and Todd although he's a far better footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) that feeling of opting not to pay £14 because I thought the game would be shite and instead did some *chris rea dulcet tones* drivin' home for christmas while the game was on to try to get up the road while the visibility wasn't too horrific/roads too badly flooded, then reading through this thread now im all cosy and warm in the house with a large hot chocolate Edited December 26, 2020 by Thistle_do_nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
