allyo Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Newsflash - so did we, AGAIN. I think you missed the point of "cup half full". If we had won it would have been "cup full" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I talked to an insider at Motherwell after the match who told me that they couldn't believe it that Higgy was subbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 was'nt at the game yesterday but the general op-ion throughout all the posts is that of wrong substitutes . this is not the first time that this has been a big talking point through the season. just wish archie would put his hands up and admit i got it wrong .

Norgethistle Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 He's talking pish because he knows he blew it. Higgy and Erskine were fine for another 5 minutes. Sorry did Higgy or Squiddy tell you they were fine.......... or you just making up pish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stevenson Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 He's talking pish because he knows he blew it. Higgy and Erskine were fine for another 5 minutes. Accusing Archie of lying, then. Care to provide any evidence? Your own opinion doesn't count as evidence btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I don't imagine anyone knows who Archie was going to take off originally when Doolan was ready to come on. It may just have been like for like with Taylor tho' I rather suspect he wanted some overlap time. Maybe some of the folk going on about the substitutions are the same folk wanting to see Taylor & Doolan play together. At 2-2 away from home against a top six side I can't see us play two strikers plus Higgy and Erskine. Had Kallum or Chris gone off for Doolan at 2-2 perhaps few would be complaining. I was actually surprised that Higgy lasted as long as he did. Think he was running on pure adrenalin just before he was subbed. He covered as much territory as a box to box midfielder and then more. I saw him in the right back position in the 2nd half not that long before the penalty and earlier unfortunately at the time it was Kallum that got his foot to Motherwell's first equaliser. Factor in the heavy pitch and I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. Maybe on hindsight Muirhead coming on instead of Craigen could've helped us defend in the air better but at the same time it would've put us even more on the back foot. I got the impression that we were denied a win or at least a draw more down to static defending. Gallacher and Mair, who otherwise have been excellent and have brought some savvy into the team, were the two worst offenders.

westertonjagfan Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wasn't there yesterday but Archie said players had taken knocks and that's why they were subbed. Higgy seemed to take an age to go off after he was subbed. Initially, I thought it was because he was pissed off at being taken off and wanted to make a point, but it makes sense now if he was injured.
