Guest Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) How we mighty have fallen. Settle for a point. Take a 1 nil penalty win. Hope we don't get a tanking. Take a last minute OG. I agree with all four but made me think how far we have gone backwards in such a short space of time. It's morton ffs. They are at best a relegation battling club and we are the club just down from the premier. We are shocking. Time for these players to step up. Not next game. Not next week. Not next home game. Step the feck up NOW or feck off. Have they no self pride......or am i being harsh? We take the rough with the smooth, good with bad but feck me i can't be arsed with this lacklusture mood we as a club are all in just now. Foooook them all we are THEESUL 0-3 thistle or don't dare come home Edited October 31, 2018 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the difference now between the 2 teams. We cant afford for this to go on much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl1971 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Mcginty and keown are old fashioned centre halfs. Alan Hansen and Davy Irons they are not. Strangely enough Adam Barton was castigated on here for trying to play from the bank. If we stick with the same back 4 we will inevitably end up playing back to front.....but we don't have the front three to support that. Catch 22....which is why we are struggling.

Tough to drop Slater out but we need to add a bit of steel to that midfield and McCarthy would bring that. Would really like to add Coulibaly to that team but with McCarthy and Quitongo unlikely to last 90 mins it would be risky to bring another in that will not last the whole game. If we are struggling at halftime and don't see why we can't bring him on. I thought he might have done that against Ayr Storey & Spittal need dropping, Storey actually needs releasing. Id replace them with Fitzpatrick & Coulibaly 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bad enough when they chuck it through being knacked, but when the heads go down it's just bloody awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simples I'm not too concerned about McGinty. He's clumsy covering to his right but he's fine with the ball at his feet. Think he's a bit rash clearing his lines at times but he's more positive than Seaborne, Turnbull or Cargill. Of course as ever centrebacks should be judged by the effectiveness of the pairing, which as always should exceed the sum of the parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal we lost at Dunfermline. Dunfermline got possession when McGinty tried to pass to Spittal and the pass was intercepted. Unless the team is under immense pressure e.g. holding out for a point or a win late in the game, Row Z should not ever be an option. We can't score if the ball is in the stand. Surely the idea is to give the ball to a guy wearing the same strip as you are? It's pretty simple really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javeajag Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I would play Doolan or coullibaly up front and quitongo in the hole behind ......we need pace in the flanks to get behind teams so maybe storey on one side ( any other options ? ?) nit sure in the other side we can’t punt long balls up the park we don’t have those type of front players we need to get back to passing on the ground ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your teammates are out of position, you have no options and someone closing you down, do you still try to find a teammate or boot it out and regroup? Sometimes it's the right thing to do.

Id replace them with Fitzpatrick & Coulibaly Storey did okay on Saturday. His pace causes problems and he made a great pass that set up the move for our best chance of the game through Spittal. Spittal was poor on Saturday but we are short of options. Fitzpatrick is not ready to start games. Throwing him into a team playing poorly is not what he needs either. I do think he has been unlucky not to feature more from the bench however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Tough to get the team to play without fear - but that's what the manager has to do. I get the feeling that Coulibaly might be a big influence on this. The guy seems to play positively without over thinking. We need that to rub off on the players around him.

So much for GC's in-depth analysis of the players, fitzpatrick can't even get on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erty13 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I would swap the front two and have Storey through the middle and Quitongo on the wing, if the other strikers are not match fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His inability to cross the ball is remarkable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
