Hampden Diehard Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 We should have won, could have lost. The passing was not quite as good as we are used to. ICT weren't much cop at the back but we missed a couple of decent chances. Ferrie's save was incredible. Still, results elsewhere went out way, so it's a good day at the office.

qpfc Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Will absolutely take that considering other results. We didn’t click going forward but could of nicked it at points. Ferrie outstanding in goals   2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStand10 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thought we had the better chances in the first and queens had better in the second. Could’ve went either way imo but I have to say queens are easily the best footballing team I’ve seen us play this season and haven’t seen many teams knock it about like that in the championship since we’ve been in it.  Decent enough point, one we certainly couldn’t afford to lose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen's Park with 15 goals in their last 3 away league games, with Simon Murray accounting for 7 of them. I think I'll put this down for a 0-0. Never in doubt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 4 good chances first half for caley and could have been our of sight, played some nice football then seemed to let Gretna II back in the game second half. We were much less fluid and 2 of the best chances in the game for Gretna II to make a mess of. Overall probably a fair result, but not sure on that showing either are going to win the league. For spells it was some of the best football I've seen us play this season but still aspects and lapses which are cause for concern and improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of sight an exaggeration, one very good chance and probably slightly edged it first half but that’s as far as it goes. If that’s your best spell of football, goodness me youse must be rotten. Both teams were bang average Horrid attempt at the Gretna patter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Donkey Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Caley hard to break down and really good movement up front. Really nothing in it, with good stops from both keepers. A point gained, and results went our way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were poor by our standards, but we should still have won. Some of our better players struggled a bit today (Thomas and Thomson especially), but I'd have bitten your hand off for 7 points from Thistle, Cove and Inverness in the first 3 league games of 2023.

Juanhourjoe Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Finishing with none of our starting front 4 seemed strange tactically from Dodds. Maybe understandable if we were winning. But replacing all of our goal threats with players significantly less likely to score, suggests Dodds had accepted the draw early on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICT weren't much cop at the back but we missed a couple of decent chances. Ferrie's save was incredible. Still, results elsewhere went out way, so it's a good day at the office.  Agree with this. Queens started well but we soon improved and had some good chances. A couple of efforts that zipped past the posts from Henderson and MacKay showed we were up for this and the save from a Mckay header was incredible. However, after getting on top Queens then looked the better side and finished the first half strongly creating some good chances of their own. Second half I felt we started well but faded and Queens were well on top. The best chances feel to Murray who leathered a low shot across goal and I think he also had another cross / shot that seemed to knock over a Queens player at the back post and he couldn't turn it into an empty net. Devine made an incredible late block to dent Murray (I think) on another occasion. Again though, we seemed to improve and Mckay was given acres of space to shot but his effort was right at Ferrie and later on Nicholson hit a sweet volley straight at the keeper after a cross was scrambled away. I was surprised how open the game was at times. For long periods there seemed to be no one in midfield for either side and players could do what they wanted under little to no pressure. Queens played some nice little triangular passes at pace which allowed them to quickly work open spaces at the back and we struggled to keep up. For us we tended to play channel balls for the wide players to run into. Both sides created a number of good openings in the 90. Standouts for me were Mckay for us and Murray / Boateng for Queens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Wednesday night’s rest seemed to have caused lost concentration at passing and composure in front of goal. Hopefully back up to speed for next week.. A point each was all that each team deserved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onwards and upwards! Totally disagree with you on Thomas in the first half, Delaney struggled with him and ended up with a yellow through frustration and how Thomas was turning him inside out on the wing, he faded a bit in the second because he was moved into the middle which probably cost Coyle the game. All in all it was a fair result even though the BBC stats had us edging it. Your forward line in that first half were the slickest I've seen outside the Premier, the combination of Murray, Savoury and Thomas produced some excellent deadly passes, thankfully they couldn't convert due mostly to Ridgers and some drastic defending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Our passing for the first half hour was probably the best I've seen this season and we should've been ahead before losing grip on the game and QP dominated until half time. Second half was much the same - we started brightly then decided to go back to hoof ball and we were nowhere near as good. I'd be offloading Oakley and Boyd in the summer. Neither are good enough. Shaw seems to be good at the getting the ball to stick to him but his final ball was often dreadful and his set pieces were really poor.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same when I had seen them play us at Dens. We had won 3-0 on the day but they play some really good and fast paced football that caused us a load of problems. I checked the scores at full time and couldn't believe this had finished with no goals in it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbamby Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Think a draw was a fair result however both teams will be disappointed with some of the chances missed. We are the most frustrating team to watch, we look excellent when we pass the ball through the thirds, or keep the ball and play quality balls into the channel with intent. However, we just seem to resort to hoofing it aimlessly towards Mckay for significant spells which allows teams to control spells in games. My main takeaway from the match is that the summer recruitment has been dreadful. Oakley, Boyd and Shaw are all brutal to watch. I think that’s the main reason we are where we are (alongside the injury list). Edited January 15, 2023 by scottbamby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be easier to do when you have the Weegie Roy MacGregor funding the whole operation -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
