jaggy Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Much better. Stevie Lawless just outstanding. Assured performance by Sneddon, back 4 excellect, midfield still not sure of, but McEnroy was excellent. Fitzy did well at times. Graham just does what he does and scored a vital goal. Robinson looked very good when he came on, Ngwenya looks decent too. Zander not really on long enough to assert himself. While we seemed to concede possession too much we weren't really threatened, but small steps forward. Onwards to Greenock next week. Surprised at the big home loss they took today, so here's hoping we can capitalise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In rugby terms, it was a touch find in the corner, and we took advantage of defensive uncertainty at the resulting line out. If it had been Finn Russell and not Lewis Neilson punting the ball, we would all have been purring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erty13 Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Delighted with the win, but still not convinced with how deep we sat. There were too many spells of the game where we could not get out of our half. QP had lots of scoring chances and corners. A better team will punish us. In attack I thought Fitztrick was anonymous. Don't think he hit the byline once in the game. All the good work came from Lawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannygaruk Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Really enjoyable game. Reminded me a lot of the playoff game except qp didn't have a finisher. Young boys who are rapid when they manage to play triangles and it comes off. What Thomas is doing playing at this level for qp i have no idea. He is so good and you could see the right back in the 1st half was out his depth so we were lucky Thomas wasn't in the game. 2nd half was so different as Thomas got the ball. We were scared to commit or press and they play such a high line where the centre halves take 3 men out the game by taking the ball into our half as we look to press wide and they leave 1 or 2 at the back. We couldnt match it at times. They will take points of loads of teams but will lose a few goals. I feel sorry for Graham shutting down himself at times thankless task. Mcmillan Lawless must be telepathic twins at birth they are so good. We did well for 20 mins and then backed off we were so far back from Graham. Lucky we got that goal but we gave them a shocker for their 1st. Bamnigan was excellent for me doing a job in front of the back 4 covering in and keeping it moving. Lots of positives. Still crapping ourselves at times at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They brought forward a midweek game scheduled for October, I believe, to last Saturday when they both had a free week. Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The booking for the QP who grabbed the ball just before it went over the line was ridiculous… a ref showing how clever he is and knows all the rules! The bookings for Stan way and mcinroy were similarly ridiculous! Then not booking two QP Players in second half for fouls at least as bad as stanways and mcinroy… strange strange strange!! Was that not the ref that McCall had a rant at and later had to apologise to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t really see anything particularly good or bad from Robinson, but I thought Ngwenya always allowed them to make a cross, which I don’t think is a good thing in a defender.

Maybe he is carrying an injury as he had to come off after 60 odd minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry is getting back into his stride, but I think it is time to drop Fitztrick and work out who can support Graham more as he is isolated and never going to burst through on to a through ball. All his support comes down the right wing. Hearts killed off the movement on the right and we had no attacking threat. Other teams may realise this as well and stop Lawless and McMillian.

erty13 Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Why was Tomi not brought on for the last 15 minutes. Players need game time so that when we need them they know how to play the system. Graham was dead on his feet jogging apart from that mad burst that could have caused him a hamstring injury.

We will need to play well to get anything next week. On the extra time now being added on to games now, should it not be announced at the game how much is being added on . I know they do it in the Premier, so why not in all games ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easy enough for the ref to pass the information on to the home team to announce how much is being added on. IIRC they do it when games are on the tv.

jagfox Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Thought the substitutions were a lot more thought out yesterday. Early days, so no point getting carried away. Good to see some well thought out changes in line-up. We have to remember this is a crazy league and next week feels like a different scenario entirely. I'd love if we can get the three points again.

Against Falkirk, I thought he looked a bit lost, but maybe it’s a whole team working better thing as opposed to who is in the opposition.

Jaggernaut Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Highly recommended: The "Gameday" video on Youtube, for great footage of the pre-match warm-up, alternative views of the action, and Kingsley's celebration of the third goal! And how good was Lawless!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
