Matty-RCFC Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 So many frustrations to take away from that game today. Celtic didn’t have to work for any of the 5 goals which was what annoyed me most. Also, how many chances does Ross Stewart want to score in open play? He’s getting all the plaudits but he’s scored 2 goals this season; both from the spot. Obviously his link up play has been quality but his finishing has been woeful. There was positives though, we are creating chances against even the best team in the league, just need to start taking them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Have we ever had a match day without a dedicated thread before, first time I've seen it happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete apathy. The novelty of top flight football, and whatever fun was ever connected with it, has drifted away. There’s no fun in watching a badly coached team trying to keep the score to under five. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an entertaining game thought the staggies should've scored at least one goal,Paton looks a decent player and McKay was playing well before he went off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqy Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thought we played really well in all honesty. Definitely should have scored a couple, getting a bit fed up of Stewart so far this season. Scoreline flattered Celtic as they were nothing for long spells of the first half. Took all their chances though, which is exactly what we need to do to stay up this season. Tedt event protocol was pretty simple and smooth, don't see why we couldn't have done it months ago. Collected tickets from the hut, queued at the Jail End gate, temp scanner and hand sanitiser, name and address checked and ticked off, then came in through the east stand turnstile after having my ticket checked again. Assigned seating and all seemed relatively normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assigned seating and all seemed relatively normal. I thought in the first half we were actually the better team, They had a competent keeper and we had Laidlaw. Second half we were poor though. Stewart is doing everything right apart from scoring and you're right it is getting a bit frustrating now. With Erwin going I wonder if there's room in our squad for a pure finisher, availability permitting of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 We’ve just picked up Joe Chalmers from you lads. Don’t think he was a starter for you last season but still any good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great loss at all. Ayr fans should prepare to be massively underwhelmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, the championship is absolutely his level. His goal against Hibs is probably clouding my judgement a little bit, and I refuse to believe a poundland Martin Woods exists for the sake of humanity.

I think he'll do fine as well, but he certainly won't stand out as perhaps their fans might reasonably expect. Anyway, that's two players out in the last week. Do we think somebody might be coming in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go near him tbh, clearly isn't bothered by football. We either need to get a proper out and out striker who can finish or someone absolutely rapid to stretch defences. Dolly Menga as dopey as he can be at times could do a job for us. Genuinely can't think of anyone we could realistically sign at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still require a winger and at least one full back, for my money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremarco plays walking football. If we're having to chase a game, I'd play Reid. He looks neat and tidy going forward. If we're going to be under the cosh, Tremarco is the better option despite his inability to run. Far better at reading the game. 5 hours ago, staggy1929 said: I wouldn't go near him tbh, clearly isn't bothered by football.

Kettlewell did everything in his power to encourage further bids without actually encouraging further bids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
