Lenziejag Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'd hope not lenziejag, profrssional and all that. We need to see more pride...self pride if not for the manager or club I would hope not too - but it is a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Probably our best performance of the season was up at Mcdermid Park in the Betfred Cup when we won 3 nil and Kevin Nesbitt albeit after a few dodgy performances absolutely rag dolled the St Johnstone defence which included Steven Anderson. Kevin Nesbitt deservably won the Man of the Match , Archies response was to drop him for the Celtic match and he has hardly been used since. What kind of encouragement is that for our young players ? It isn’t very encouraging I agree, but I don’t think he is good enough yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlsarmy Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 It isn’t very encouraging I agree, but I don’t think he is good enough yet You could be right but you've got to play young players to help them develop and see what the requirements are at that level ,there has got to be a pathway to encourage young players or any youth system is pointless and financially disabling .Watching the St Johnstone game , we came down the road impressed with Nesbitts performance and thought the penny had dropped as regards work ethic etc , Archies response was all too predictable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 If only the club had some sort of paid for communication channel to keep the fans up to date with the injuries and maybe the odd 'can't wait to get back' style interview eh? Get injured at Firhill and you disappear off the face of the earth. Banzo featured on Jagzone today and obviously desperate to get back into the action.

Fearchar Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think no matter what formation we have we still seem to play the same way with the ball continually hit out wide and we always seem to have an isolated striker on matter what the formation.... This is also the reason for Archie, season after season, dropping Doolan for the latest man-mountain he can find to fulfil his dreams of the goals of yesteryear: "Get to the byeline and whip it in!" Crosses are not very effective, in contrast to direct play through the centre, but in any case the central defences in our league are set up with giant centre-halves that are more than capable of coping with crosses into the box. We habitually score fewer goals than others in the same league because of the refusal to change the approach and make best use of the players we have.

allyo Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Do we habitually score fewer goals than others in the same league or are you basing that statement on your current frustration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearchar Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Do we habitually score fewer goals than others in the same league or are you basing that statement on your current frustration? That in part, of course, but our success, such as it has been (e.g. last season's entry to the top 6), has been based on a good defensive record rather than scoring a lot.
