We have to make better use of the posession when we do either; and to be fair there have been a raft of crosses into the box. Aye twice Smith has cut inside and scored belters but I prefer my wide players to create chances for others. Not enough accurate crosses for my liking and a lot of them just floated in after cutting inside. Full backs hate players that want to take them on in a race to the bye line (just a shame Quitongo hasn't been fully fit or up to speed) But I suppose you need strikers and attacking midfielders who can make intelligent runs ahead of the other defenders in the box to get on the end of these balls at the front or back post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to make better use of the posession when we do either; and to be fair there have been a raft of crosses into the box. The way we’ve played a lot throughout the season seems to try and get both full backs involved as much as possible by getting them to hit the byline and whip the crosses instead of the wingers. Having Smith and longridge as inverted wingers isn’t a big issue as they are effective with the quick intricate passing in and around the box which can drag players out of position. This pretty much allows an overload on the opposition full backs when Doyle and Robson are bombing down the wings. Only issue is that as much as I love Doyle’s enthusiasm to get involved, his crossing can be fairly erratic to put it lightly. Robson’s deliveries have improved considerably but at the end of the day, we just don’t possess that player that can sniff chances in the box out of nowhere. That’s our primary issue Whats the chances we’ll bring a striker on loan this week? Surely there’s a couple clubs willing to loan some capable strikers out for the last quarter of the season ?

We’ve paid the price for that decision Plus Baynham, to be fair, but there's no doubt that having no central striker has murdered us. And it was apparent last year that McHugh was never going to be a goal machine anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Poor guy doesn’t know if he’s punched, drilled or bored. Wonder how he’s feeling about Dempster today. I’d love to see the unedited version….cuts when he’s talking about the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be getting on with the job he was brought in to do. This new manager better be worth the wait. Re. the pitch. It's a joke of course but we're not playing much better away from home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Juan Alegria boy looks a talent. Saw him against Alloa in the SPFL Trust Trophy and briefly against us, he's quick and strongly built. Reckon he would bag quite a few in a decent L1 side. Partick's recruitment in the last 18 months has been fairly decent you got to say. Kyle Turner, Cammy Smith, Scott Tiffoney, Akinola. All solid additions.

Spider Rico Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I notice on twitter that a Turf company have announced they are building the new hybrid pitch at Lesser. Good news that we have gone for the hybrid option and that work is starting.

bobthespider Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Would imagine if we don’t sign a striker tonight then the management have given up on the rest of the season. Obvious to everyone who had to sit through the game on Saturday what is required….no excuses for not getting someone in . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place not exactly buzzing with enthusiasm at present. I really don't get it. After the last presentation I was prepared to accept the Covid line, and that certain things couldn't be said for contractual reasons. But despite the unambiguous message from the fans, and the assurances given, it seems there is an on-going black-out and disregard for the current fanbase. I thought maybe I was over-reacting because of the frustrating football, but it's appalling to hear of this from the contractor's tweet. There are maybe reasons why we can't hear of progress with the park, a new hybrid pitch, the situation with the Firhill contract, lack of manager, the January window, and should be grateful to know we have a sponsorship with Big-Bobble Hats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the way to announce this is that we receive an email 5 minutes before it’s put up on the website. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
