nelsjfc Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hallberg and Carey just petulantly kicking folk. Total lack of discipline. Same shape still. Another non wingback on while one sits on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Lack of effort from majority of the players now, to go alongside the tactical shit show. Get him to f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Really impressive first half from young David Watson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 So to sum it up, we've started an XI that has obvious, gaping holes in it, players out of position, players who could play those positions on the bench and guys who are in abject form starting in a system that has been repeatedly proven not to work. As a result we have been awful - absolutely, criminally awful - but the manager's reaction is to take off one of the guys who he has thrown in out of position, and replace him with another guy playing out of position in the same system. We now have a right footed attacking midfielder/forward playing LWB while a perfectly serviceable LWB sits on the bench. Carey is contributing nothing - shock horror - and it is abundantly clear that this strike partnership will produce nothing. A good manager would make at least two changes at half time and go to a four at the back. We will keep ploughing the same furrow and probably lose 2 or 3 nil. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he decided to sub off our only right back 5 minutes beforehand, because he was struggling at playing left wing back while we have a left back on the bench. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct change would be to remove perhaps Gordon, Carey and Bair and replace them with Rudden, Gallacher and Wotherspoon/Murphy then go: Matthews Brown Mitchell Considine Gallacher Wright Hallberg MacPherson Wotherspoon/Murphy May Rudden Then you've got a team all playing in the right positions at the very least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. We'll get Wotherspoon/Rudden on for Carey/Bair at half time, maybe. Same shape but chairs shuffled. Might work, might not, but "thats football" i guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Did we even have a game plan, or was it simply ‘keep it tight and try to catch them on the break lads’ That got beyond anger into laughing at your own team they were so pathetic for a while in the first half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started well enough but slowly descended into one of those players who thinks doing a wee trick every 3 games is enough. Hes probably aware hes undroppable which wont be helping. Playing him endlessly has frozen out Wotherspoon to the point it looks like hes walking away this Summer, its a shite deal all round for us really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
