  1. Thought Taylor was excellent and really highlighted the sort of attacking energy we don't get from Dall
  2. I have also wondered this in recent weeks. Are we not doing any hospitality at all? That's surely a huge hit to club finances.
  3. I think you underestimate how bad we have been recently
  4. As the scoreline would suggest, a lot more positives today. As suspected, going to one striker (Carrick today) suited us better, as did the role of impact sub late in the game for McKinley. Harkness and Ferguson are both quality. Sula had a great game. Obviously scored, but also dealt with everything that came his way. Still not a huge amount of creativity, especially in the first half, but enough to win the game. Carrick still not getting a huge amount of service, but that was better today.
  5. I was going to say, but didn't want to be a contrarian w**k in two threads today. Waugh looks lightweight, but can see the talent. And I honestly think Harkness has been pretty good so far.
  6. Not to be contrarian, but I've been very impressed by Kerr... with the notable exception of today. Woeful. Must have misplaced five or six hollywood passes out from the back.
  7. We can't persist with two up front any longer. Carrick and McKinley as a pairing don't give you enough to justify sacrificing another player in the midfield. It was different when it was Carrick and Thommo because they had chemistry together. There's nothing between Carrick/McKinley. I know Milne has his critics, but he should have started today instead of McKinley. I said that before kick-off. We need someone (anyone!) to link the midfield and the attack. Did we even create a single chance today? We had one shot on target and I can't even remember what that was! While I don't think we have an outstanding team in terms of individuals, I believe they're better than they're showing. The set-up needs to be better.
  8. Simply not good enough. It was a competitive match for about 40 mins, then a complete collapse from our point of view. Can't complain about the final result. Plenty to complain out in terms of our performance, though. Never looked like scoring. We have two full backs who offer very little going forward, but also no wingers. We're very predictable in an attacking sense. Unusually calamitous at the back today which was slightly out of character compared to other performances this season (including last week), but I'm more concerned by how much we seem to toil when it is on us to create chances and we can't counter attack into open space like we did against Clyde. Worrying.
  9. Can understand why some Clyde fans think they battered us (maybe they did). But they played into our hands with so many crosses that ultimately didn't amount to much. I'm still forming opinions on our new-look team, but I think we're pretty solid defensively. That won us the game yesterday - and taking our chances when they came.
  10. Can't grumble about the final result. We were well off it. Had a decent period towards the end of the first half and for a spell at the start of the second, but the changes halted any momentum we had and Elgin could have scored another (I thought the disallowed goal was onside!)
  11. Have no idea what to expect on Saturday. Felt we just about edged it against Edinburgh, but if we're honest they look to be a poor team this season. There is quality in our team, but I suspect there will be inconsistency due to the number of young players we have. The next three games will tell us a lot about where we truly are.
  12. A draw might have been fair, but hoping the comeback galvanises this new group of players. Just at the moment I was starting to doubt Speedy and question his place in the team, he produces a rocket!
  13. What a buzz! I reckon Carrick's winner will take some beating as our goal of the season!
  14. Concerns about the squad are valid, but I'm hopeful that once we get the likes of Denham, Milne, Hilson, Davidson and Geeks back, we'll look a bit stronger. I will remain optimistic until we get smashed on Saturday...
  15. If we've got one more signing left in us, I'd be looking for a right winger. Not totally convinced by Harry Wright. That's where I'd like some real quality if we can somehow find it.
