Have we ever been awarded a softer one ? The number we haven’t been given, maybe we deserve a bit of luck Thought it was a stonewaller. Deserved the win, bring on the Morton. Owe them a hiding.

JAG1970 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 The changes at HT were certainly needed and made the difference as did Turner coming on. Whilst I’m fine winning every game 1.0 for the rest of the season we've scored just 3 goals in the last 6 games, and all were scored by defenders! We really need the attacking players to start scoring and take some responsibility off the highly impressive defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 and breathe.... Took 45 minutes to get going but in the end QoS were lucky it was only 1-0. I thought the penalty looked soft on first award but the replay showed the QoS defender had two handfuls of Smith's shirt. Definite penalty. Turners best game of the season so far. Played a lot more centrally and that certainly got him on the ball more. We'll need to grind out a few more of these as without Tiffoney we are struggling for pace and creativity. 6 points ahead of 5th place with a game in hand suggests a playoff position is now the minimum return from this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl1971 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Truly awful first half. Second half much better. Our defensive play is keeping us in it. Roll on next game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow & Redneck Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Think we need to accept that Cammy Smith is not going to come good, and we can hopefully cut our losses in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle88 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Turner completely changed the game his composure and picking out the right pass was an absolute ******* joy to watch after that first half. And as people have said it looked very natural to him, because it his best position. Would like to see him start and on of Banzo or Doc drop out the team. Having 2 defensivish midfielders in the team maybe works when you have attacking fullbacks, we don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javeajag Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Fair play to McCall for the changes at half time and injecting a lot more urgency in our play ….first half shite second half much better ….we should have won more comfortably…..lack of taking our chances is a worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) First 35 mins were dreadful, we looked even worse when we changed to a 4312, Banzo out on the left of a 3 with Murray in behind the front 2? seriously? so surprised McCall changed to that. Forwards had hee haw service in the first half and with the change in shape I don’t blame them for not having a clue where the ball was coming from. Let’s be honest, Murray shouldn’t be anywhere near the team, every game he plays for us he ends up being the first sub, Smith isn’t too far behind. We’d have been better with Hendrie out on the left for natural width. Said to my mates BBG and Turner will be on at ht or shortly after and we’ll score. Didn’t ever feel we would concede a goal, we look pretty solid, just need to try and get Tiff back if we want to win this league as it’s there for the taking. All we’ve done tonight is buy ourselves a ticket to the dance! let’s go. we got this. Edited March 8, 2022 by jags on tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen1876 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Perhaps with an intensive run of games, our genius strategy is just to play 45 minutes in every game and just keep a clean sheet in the other 45 minutes Sneddon must be closing in on some sort of season clean record surely?

I blame McCall for how bad we were in the first half. It’s funny when he joined Thistle he said the imbalance of our team was a big problem, I still feel like it is and feel like he wants to play to many boys who can play the ball around up to the oppositions box and then have nothing. The boy from Dundee is one of the most frustrating players I’ve ever watched to be honest, big strong and actually has a bit of skill about him. Pure confidence player though ! He sets the formation to get players in the team more than he does to be most effective imo. Don’t know why I’m complaining that first half really drained me. kevin Holt is becoming a big favourite of mine though Mr Dependable.

Auld Jag Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 We were very poor in the first half. Second half we improved and ground out the win. I feel most games will be like that until the end of the season as every club in the league still has something to play for. Holt has been one of our best signings this season imo.

Jaggernaut Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Definitely a game of two halves. First was truly woeful, and I think I witnessed the longest series of nonchalant, useless, sideways and backwards passes inside our own half that I've ever seen. And inevitably, the final punt led to us losing possession. As yet again did our kick-off "tactic" of pass back, punt, give the opposition a shy and immediate possession. Bizarre. Much better at half-time. Was happy to see the back of Murray and Crawford, and Turner was quite simply terrific. McCall certainly got the subs right. Some great footwork by Graham to get into that scoring position, and on another day we might have won it by 3 or 4 goals. The defence looked more composed and focused too in the second half. In an interview a few weeks back McCall hinted that we were trying to do "something special......" Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
