Ludo*1 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Honestly thought that Cleary was St Johnstone's weak link at the back. Doesn't seem to have any positional sense. Was just as likely to be near our corner flag as he was in the CH position for Saints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 'the system' this is exactly what he is being asked to to, overlapping center backs are one of the key principles of...'the system' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Aye Cleary had clearly been told to get forward, same with McCart, he hasn’t ventured past the half way line in months. So that was obviously what Davidson meant when he said the players weren’t doing as he asked, for all the good it did! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Kerr driving forward or taking the ball in good positions seemed to be a really good weapon for you guys last year. But I guess you can add that to Rooney's loss of form, Spoony's injury, McCann and Melamed leaving on the list of things that made the team work which are no longer options but the manager hasn't noticed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also something other clubs figured out was vital to our attacking play by the end of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, I've blanked the Final from my mind but I think even Hibs had that just about dealt with by then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 It's also something other clubs figured out was vital to our attacking play by the end of last season.Completely agree with this, Callum’s tactical sense seems to exist in a void where he doesn’t understand other teams and managers will adapt to counter how we play. He just assumes because it has worked before it will work again, with the only tweak being like for like swaps in personnel or the two wingers instead of two strikers. The big difference between TW and CD is that TW would set us up for every game with a plan for the team we were playing. Sometimes he would tinker too much and it wouldn’t pay off but sometimes he would pick a team and system that completely nullified the other team and get us points we wouldn’t necessarily expect. See all of the times we won away at Hibs/Aberdeen under TW for example.Don’t see any of that under Callum, we basically set up in the same way for every team we play. Normally the same result too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming most of it was a disastrous summer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marly Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Haven't read the thread so apologies if already mentioned. The only classy thing on show last night was the minute's applause for wee Lily Douglas. Well done to the Dees for their part in it too. RIP Lily. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very peculiar time to tell us all you dream of Dundee players, tbh. I thought Hendry was all effort last night. You should definitely continue with him up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam and Griffiths should have just stood next to Ciftci. That would have made both of them appear slimmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good was that minute applause yesterday for Lily.. I loved how it was just both sets of fans clapping and there was no other noise apart from clapping.
