Kelty defence must’ve had about 4/5 blocks just in the last 10 minutes alone. Few boys said the goal looked offside but I’m not sure. Boyd seems to be a tidy player but is 5’4 and looks like a Ken Doll. Delaney looked a bit nervous but came into the game. Mackay, Shaw and Oakley all looked looked dangerous. Tuesday night will be a better test to see where we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.1995 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Yeh,agree with your latter comment Atlis.Maybe cruising the wrong terminology. And changing the team certainly didn't help either.In the context of the group yeh we're top but we don't half do things the difficult way when it could be so much easier for us.Wel find out on Tuesday night for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could clearly see we weren’t fully up to speed despite looking dangerous in the 2nd half. The League cup games have rarely ever told the story of our season. We deserved the win but hard to take too much from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good to get competitive minutes under the players belts and really not arsed about the results as even if we do get through we will be pumped in the next round anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we got caught up in too many subs and let Albion into the game a bit. Offered very little in the last 35 minutes but can't complain. Tuesday's game will be a big one for this group 3 hours ago, Durnford said: According to feed - Jackson Longridge comes on; concedes a free kick; Albion Rovers score. Yep, subs def changed things for the worse, we were comfortable till Penrice went off. Still offered an attacking threat ourselves with Brandon looking decent replacing Devlin. Bahamboula was opening them up on the left too, and Bruce should've added a 4th when right through on goals running onto a good ball, should've just chipped the keeper but brought it down and took it closer to have a shot, and missed a great chance. Bitsindou and Fitzwater were comfortable playing the ball about at the back, no Ayo slip ups, and we have plenty options in attack with Nouble, Bahamboula, Mullin, Brandon, Devlin, Penrice, Anderson and Goncalves, but that was poor not defending a free kick and throw in for their goals. Still think the disruption bringing on Longridge for Penrice was the cause of our problems. I understand why Martindale made so many substitutions though, we were 3 zip up and he wanted to get as many players as he could having game time before the league starts. These cup games are like competitive pre season league games. But it almost cost us the 3 pts. Sort ourselves out at the back and we'll be pretty much ready for the league starting, we're looking pretty good everywhere else. Not sure about Konovalov yet, he had little to do till those set plays leading to their goals, but handled pass backs and distributing the ball well enough, looked suspect for their first goal though.

RossP Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Hopefully Ram is back soon, as that’s ICT missing 3CBs currently. Delaney looked nervous but was solid, with Deas marshalling the defence really well in one of his best CB performances. Harper had a few dodgy moments, missing interceptions that led to one-on-ones and Carson did his usual 7/10 no-frills shift. Allardice was our best player today in my opinion. Strong tackles, quick transitions and running the show from the middle of the pitch. Roddy next to him looked dangerous every time he got the ball, which unfortunately wasn’t very often. I was impressed by Boyd who showed great energy and a decent touch. Doran was so-so in the ACM role, with one cracker of a shot that was hit early - unlike a couple of other chances where he’d been slow to shoot. Samuels started well but was really ineffectual for the majority of the game. I’ve yet to see him challenge for a header, so it’s pointless putting the ball in his direction when he has his back to goal. Mckay was very good today I thought. Won his fair share of arial battles, held the ball up well and played others into the game. Unlucky not to score with that header off the post. Oakley immediately gave the Kelty defenders a harder time of it when he came on. I’d like to see him and Mckay play together in at least one of the other League Cup group games. Similar to Delaney, Shaw looked nervous but anytime the ball was at his feet he looked dangerous. He needs to bulk up a bit and I wonder how he’d cope when defending - hopefully will be more of a Jonny Hayes signing than Ben Greenhalgh. Mackay didn’t touch the ball for about 10mins after coming on at LM. First touch was a shot over the bar and then showed some lightning pace to get past the RB a few times. He’ll be great when we are away from home, having to counter attack. Tidser, Forster, Barjonas and Agyeman had good games for Kelty. Higginbotham is still a moaning wee ned who ended up being a sole striker, due to the limited personnel. We likely wouldn’t have won if Austin and Cardle were fit, I imagine. Fed up of buses now, after my seventh and final one of the day is delayed. Cracking weather and a decent Indian buffet in Shimla Cowdenbeath though.

We sure as feck are with our defending and keepers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
