Yellow & Redneck Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Defence is a nightmare. Not helped by the fact that Rudden seems to be repeating his antics from the first 2/3rds of last season. Proof as if it was needed that this team is a lower mid-table side. McCall needs to get the back line sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This manager doesn't have it in him to progress this club to the Premiership. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear the same. But unless we are relegated, McCall has a job for life. Not to mention that the man who would likely succeed him has proven himself a busted-flush already.

Thistle88 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Team just seems really unbalanced playing with 1 winger 2 strikers 3 central midfielders. Feel like we aren’t getting the best out of Tiffoney because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual jobs for the boys at our woefully run club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironfist Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 One of the problems is McCall doesn’t yet know his best team or formation. Not convinced by Docherty this season so far and don’t think there is an obvious replacement for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotterJag Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Not a good result but we're not far away from being a decent team. Still think we'll be in the play-offs and then anything can happen. 2 players short - one on the left and one in the middle. Might still not give us quite enough to win the league in any case. Play-offs are our best chance I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our 10th game this season. Agree but he’s trying to make sure he squeezes the best players in rather than finding a formation that suits us better overall ! Which is stupid imo. It Also means we have zero impact from the bench. Which is infuriating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could definitely learn something there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milhouse Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 We aren't neccessarily a bad side at this level but we are a distance behind the last 2 teams we have played (Inverness/Kilmarnock) who will probably be the top 2. We have had 3 decent wins so far and still in 4th place currently. If we finish there and have a shot at a play-off that would be a very good season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycatcher Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Bannigan and Docherty were physically bullied in the mid. Very disappointing in the lack of fight So much that the def missed them out all together. Rudden and Graham look like they have just met before the game. The double change looked like the reason for this.... This is a side lacking confidence which is worrying this early in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch any top European side and you'll see the lengths they go to to avoid being pushed into those dead areas near the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been bullied in all our 3 defeats in the league, which shows anyone who wants to mix it with us will beat us. Powderpuff squad.

watties wallies Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Rudden, Docherty and Bannigan really poor today again think we will struggle to make playoffs thought foster did ok we just don't have enough quality in the squad a long hard season ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The double change looked like the reason for this.... This is a side lacking confidence which is worrying this early in the season. The team lacks a heart. Oh for a figure like "Boab" McCulloch. You could see the panic breaking out once the penalty was conceded, and it took an age, and 2 goals, to get back sufficient confidence to play the ball on the ground, by which time Timmy Wright's team had realised the big boot game was making these players uneasy. It doesn't help that Graham and Rudden are both constantly looking for a header: that just encourages the big boot up the park. It's not as if this team is very successful with headers, anyway, other than at set pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t a top European side we are a Scottish championship side with a striker that’s decent in the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
