Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Somewhat unbelievably, not Davie Syme's worst ever decision but certainly up there in Scottish football's list 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aylo vanal Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Not very convincing but a win, still lacking energy in midfield. Naismith needs to drop out imo, slows everything down and plays in boyces spaces. Dunfermline lack a bit of composure at times, maybe missing a decent striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's when the SFA ruled that goalposts cant have stanchions and the adopted the Italian style nets we have to this day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Great result the day, as it looked like it was set for a draw. Credit to Smith for his early goal-line clearance, Gordon for a point-blank save, and especially to Walker for a great turn and finish to win the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not conclusive but the way that the incident got explained to me before I thought it would be more conclusive that it wasn't a pen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Got to be reasonably happy looking at the league table, but it was another poor, disjointed performance from us today. Our midfield isn't good enough to control games and Naismith always drops really deep to play a role he isn't particularly good at, leaving the front three isolated. I think he got into a decent attacking position once today, dallied around and fucked it. Like most, I'd be happy to see him benched for Walker from now on. Even if it doesn't solve the main problem, he at least carries a threat, and he produced a great bit of play for the goal today. We also seem to give up clear cut chances almost every time the other team comes forward, and I think the lack of a commanding midfielder is probably as critical as the need for a new centre-half or two in resolving that. We don't need it to win this division, but that's hopefully something we'll be addressing by Monday with next season in mind. Gutted about the Ginnelly news. Even though he barely played, he offered something different to what we have and made a tangible contribution in almost every appearance. I think we'll struggle to replace him with someone who's as effective when they're on the pitch. GMS hasn't looked nearly as effective so far, albeit it's very early days for him. On a more positive note, we've tended to lose this season if we haven't win easily, so it's nice to see us grind out a win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no sure that's an image of the penalty incident - it was at the right side of the penalty area facing the touchline at the McLeod Street end. Certainly from TV I remember it as a shocker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Watched the Dunfermline highlights really think we should have taken something and lack lustre efforts on goal cost us. Murray got absolutely done for the goal but a great turn from the hearts player. Far too close marking, basic stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw wouldn’t have been an injustice but then again the same could have been said for our meeting in November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
