JAG1970 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Telling that Mansell and de Vita were left unused on the bench despite a lack of options up front. I suspect both will be gone in January. Quite what Caldwell saw in Mansell to give him a two year contract........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Every one of those players should hang there heads in shame, they are an embarassment to professional football! Struggling to beat Penicuik ffs and hanging on at the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Jag Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Missed the goal due to a bit if traffic. Brought along a pal who hadn’t been for years. Don’t think he’ll be rushing back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, today the complacency kicked in at, what, two minutes? Too many of the current squad don't seem to understand that winning games requires concentration and effort - being a 'good footballer' isn't enough. I don't think McCall needs a massive clear out in January, but I do think he needs to make three key signings - a center half, a centre midfielder and a centre forward. We need to put a spine into the team of players who have the right attitude. Players who hate losing and who take every tackle/throw-in/corner lost as a personal afront. Oh, and a word needs to be had with Zanatta - Thistle players don't play like that. I think we could do with getting rid of quite a few players to be honest.. i think we should punt.. Robson ..Doesnt really have a position or add anything to the team. Harkins .. Hes just not worth the wage, lucky to get half a game out of him. Maybe a good last 15-20 min sub because he would help see a game out or set up a chance but surely thats not enough. Saunders/Mcginty.. One of them need to be replaced imo. If you could just roll the two of them into the one player we would be sorted. (Mcginty 6'4 shite in the air, absolutely nothing commanding about him. Not bad on the ball. Saunders polar opposite good in the air and strong. Shite on the ball and clumsy.) Mansell.. Cant fault the lad for effort but i think his wage could be put to better use. Jones .. looked slow and quite frankly pish. His record of games at previous clubs was worrying and im not really suprised hes injured. De vita.. pretty pointless him being here imo. Thats 6 players id say we could definitely do better than. Hope Ian gets some funds to make some changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 We held on and got the win. The only good thing about today is we are in the next round. Other teams in our league aren't. Big improvement required for Tuesday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a really good player but McCall seems to be struggling to find a place to play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingleo Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I’d agree with that list. I’d add Williamson to it. Utter crap. Very few of them are worth keeping. They’re either pish or pish and gutless. Harkins looks like a pub player. Jones looked utter crap. Mansell is English non league level at best ( although that’s probably better than us), zanatta is another one who can go but we’re probably stuck with him and a lot of the other dross.

I considerd icluding Zannatta on the list but his record of assists and goals in the same league last season make me think his best could be yet to come. Williamson and Penrice could do with a decent sitting midfielder to help them out to be fair to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KemoAvdiu Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Zanatta is the most pathetic player to play for us in a number of years. Disgusting performance from him today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen1876 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I would have accepted a hard fought win today but it was the attitude that just infuriates me - these players have not earned the arrogance to think they can roll over anyone Our total lack of commitment and professionalism was demonstrated late on when Williamson was put through and was offside. At that stage you should be professional and let the ball run out or give it a nudge the wrong way. He petulantly hit it into the box anyway straight into the keepers arms who took the free kick quickly whilst Williamson was out of position. Btw, well done to Penicuik today - they could have folded after losing an early goal and then a calamity moment from the keeper but they kept at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 We're ok for goalkeepers. I don't rate Williamson, Robson, McGinty (though he's kinda enigma), Saunders terrible today. Penrice is one of ours but he's not convincing, Harkins is done (but thanks), Palmer is talented but nah, best thing about Cole is that he looks like Colin McGlashan, Zanatta is up there with my least favourite players ever (yet he was amazing in his first game). DeVita doesn't even register. Neither does Hall. Mansell I don't hate but that's about it. Slater worked hard today. So did Kenny Miller but he's nearly as old as me. Bannigan will always be a hero to me but I suppose he needs to perform. O,'Ware I'm coming around to. I like Kakay. But make no mistake. Last year I thought we were poor but probably too good to get relegated. This year I don't think so. I like our manager. I wish him all the best.

Anniesland Jag Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Jeez we made what should have been a stroll in the park and out of sight in first 10 mins into a massive rearguard nervy cluster...pass marks only for a Penrice,Cole and MOTM imho Slater.Goodness knows what is going on in McCalls mind playing Harkins(am I right in saying he almost had a shot on target with his belly ?) and an ever increasingly disappointing Zanata . Anhoos , on a positive note.... a clean sheet ..and well done to Penicuik and their fans for shear effort and noise...although their number 9 should have been red carded .

nickthejag Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I’d give pass marks to Slater for effort and forward momentum. Penrice, O’Ware and Fox get passes for doing nothing especially wrong. Everyone else offered very, very little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a player in there , he’s got technique but his attitude has got to change, today was all about 10 yard passes , in the first half especially when we played with a 3/5 at the back he should have been busting a gut to get forward , I can’t remember any meaningful cross into the box , IMO he went through the motions today.

He is still learning but it should be maximum effort every week , he’s been about the first team for the last 3 seasons between ourselves and Livi , so the penny should have dropped by now in terms of fitness and effort. He absolutely could be a good player for us . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
