Yellow & Redneck Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 The management team's inability to teach our players to defend set-pieces is criminal. And Mitchell continuing to play in goals could cost us the league. McCall is a moron for not seeing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledjag Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 So the Cove bogy strikes again. Will probably have to settle for addressing only one bogy (Arbroath) this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 I thought our finishing was the biggest reason we didn’t get 3 points- despite the shambles for set pieces should have had 5 goals - Tiffoney too greedy, Graham far too slow and ponderous and should have been off earlier. Fitzpatrick should have booted ball into net instead of back heel. we are top of the league and that feels like a defeat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Peebles Tackle Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 What just happened?!? Coasting it, should’ve been more ahead then two of the scrappiest goals you’ll see. Poor defending but as others said we should’ve been out of sight by then. 3 subs at once was a crazy decision, knocked us off our rhythm & we paid the price. Need to learn from that. Two (easy) points lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) If we don’t play Sneddon next game, I’m going to kick McCall up the arse Or maybe Bishop Brennan Edited September 17, 2022 by sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 How on earth did we not win that game???????????? 2 nothing up , should have been 5 or 6 and then we loose 2 stupid goals , you could not make it up....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camallain Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 I don't know if anyone else in the John Lambie spotted it but the corner that led to Cove's equaliser should never have been awarded as it was 100 percent a by kick. No question about it the Cove player touched the ball last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearchar Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Graham should have been hooked in the first half: he just wasn't going to score - as he rarely does when opportunities are laid on a plate for him.

JAG1970 Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Complacency 2 Cove 2 Should have been out of sight by half time, very wasteful in front of goal. Going 2 up should have sealed it but we took our foot off the gas. We had a warning when they headed over when they should have scored. Thought the subs were strange (apart for the injury to McMillan). At 2.0 everyone knows the next goal is pivotal and Graham and Tiff, whilst not having good games, do the hard work in closing players down. Their replacements aren’t as effective in doing so, particularly Fitzpatrick. I think IMC was going to take Lawless off next (another who works hard at closing down) but changed his ind when they got their first goal, so IMC was complacent too. But with a 2 goal cushion we should still see it out but the goals conceded were poor and it feels like a defeat. Only when they got their second did we get the finger out but too little too late. Dont agree with the sentiment that “ we’re going nowhere under IMC”. We have a much better squad this season and are top of the league. But today needs to be a wake up call, we need to take a greater proportion of our chances, defend better and play for 90 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter of '63 Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 We were pretty good in the first half - a goal, four absolute sitters missed and we worked our way into threatening positions on numerous occasions...we should have been out of sight by half-time. A goal from Banzo with his right foot and it looked like we were coasting to a routine victory. I was just thinking the second half was a bit dull and that Cove were not really making any effort to get back in the game...then we managed to concede two sloppy goals from set pieces. Top of the League and disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 The late capitulation was as bad as anything under Archie. But as everyone says, we should have been 5-0 up by then. Lawless & Aero (until last 10 mins) were great. Tiff chose the wrong option every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 That feels like a defeat. We had that game won. A great goal from Lawless and a well taken goal from Banzo. Our inability to defend set pieces cost us. The other scores went our way, but it could have and should have been so much better. Tiffoney should have scored in the first thirty seconds or so when he managed to get one on one with the goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiThistle Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 3 subs or no subs, the players should be able to see out a game. Taking comfort in Ayr’s defeat - everyone at the top is at least fallible. Need to sort out these mental collapses though. Lawless outstanding and congrats to Banzo on the birthday goal (and card!)

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 I tend to believe our inability of turning attacking pressure into goals is our weak point. For much of the game up at Gayfield that was the case as well. We needed a sending off to ensure the three points then. Today we were coasting to a win but failed to capitalise on all our possession in the opposition's half. We're close to getting things very right but I feel under McCall tho' improvements are there, progress is painfully on the slow side. Let's hope it's not too slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question about it the Cove player touched the ball last First, it was good to speak to you before the game. You are correct i didn't think it was a corner, but we should have defended the corner better. Remember just before the half time whistle the ref gave a foul against Graham when he didn't even touch the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 We were off it today and then some. Finishing lacked incision throughout the first half. Wonderful improvisation from Stevie Lawless for the goal mind. Second half went 2-0 up......................and went through the motions thereafter. Rarely appeared in their penalty box until after Cove's equaliser. Two goals lost from dead balls yet again, to add the the several we have lost in that manner already this season. Praise to Cove for sticking to a well-organised game plan and ultimately exploiting our weaknesses for the point. The evidence is all there. It's up to Thistle to take note and adapt. Despite that, top of the league is not a bad place to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
