Scottydog Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 A lot of negativity on this thread, yes we’ve been poor but we are only 6 points off Arbroath and 2 behind bookies favourites Killie. No team is running away with it like in previous seasons. Killie should canter home as champions but then again with the budget and squad they started with they should have been nearly home an hosed by no, and they’re not so just maybe they aren’t going to now either. I can’t see us winning the league just as I can’t see Arbroath doing so either but I wouldn’t totally rule it out either. A wee run good or bad changes things quickly in this league, as things stand no team can be ruled out out of things at this point. Just remember there was someone (one of our own) on here in the early season who had us tipped as certainties for going down. I’ve seen plenty of good and bad in my 40 seasons watching and I’m no happy clapper, in fact most folks who know me will say I can be often be relied upon to be as negative as the rest but jeezo, there’s guys on here that are bigger drama queens than Bet Lynch, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Don't like the look of that team, we are going long with that to two guys who aren't exactly Kings of holding the ball up Edited January 28, 2022 by renton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC1989 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I’m not claiming Dave MacKay to be the next best thing but please explain to me how Musonda is a better player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 3 days to go. Get a lump if a striker or watch us fall into the bottom half by May. That was absolute garbage. Forward line thst can't hold it up. Musonda is utter garbage, first touch a balls up and second a foul. Dick, absolute garbage as a full back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Fortunate to get a point, McGlynn needs to change the way we play ................. if he can 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 In my humble and completely misinformed opinion, McGlynn needs to change it up. The obsession with playing 5 defenders is severely hampering us. We got our second thanks to Tumilty going forward (I felt he was a lot better tonight, albeit not as good as he was earlier this season or last season), but the second goal we conceded saw two centre halves sandwich Muirhead with neither getting to the ball. We've got Zanatta and Connolly on the bench, two players who were doing a good job earlier in the season, but neither can get a look in at the moment. Poplatnik doesn't start games but even tonight the system didn't seem to work after we'd made our changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) If I'm being optimistic, there were some signs of a decent team in the first half. It's hard not to come to the conclusion that we are going to end up well off the pace for the play offs come the end of the season though. The match on Tuesday is huge. An absolute must win if we want to challenge for the top four. Edited January 28, 2022 by Ro Sham Bo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I'm hoping this is just a shite rin of results and form. We actually created good chances tonight but Morton really wanted it more. Back 5 does not work for us as Dick is a bread and butter old fashioned left back he common do much else which leaves the team unbalanced. We have really missed having 2 mobile full backs although Tumilty put in a shift tonight. Stanton is starting to grip up the midfield, hom Matthews and Spencer will be decent. We really need a focal point in attack tonight would have been ideal for Varian and i dont know why Poplatnik wasnt given a start. we have so many wingers/forwards to play off them it's almost an embarrassment of riches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Best we can hope for is Arbroath to beat Partick tomorrow, at least it keeps them behind us for the moment , then go out on Tuesday and win against Queens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Disagree I'd rather Partick beat Arbroath and blow it wide open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Let's face it, if we don't start getting wins on the board soon it's not going to make a blind bit of difference what results the other teams in the top 5 get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 On a night like tonight, counting on a 'focal point' up front means reliably hitting one guy in a randomising wind. We can moan about a back 5 but dick practically collided with their post a number of times and tumilty was a major presence in the opposing half and beat their last man to the ball to run into the box and put us ahead. We're all rationalising frustrations bit I wouldn't be turning the playing style upside down based on what we saw in brutal conditions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Jesus - how much money are they willing to chuck at getting out of the Championship?! Killie will be in trouble if they don’t go back up this season from what they’re spending you’d think?Not really the difference in one place could pay his wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute must win if we want to challenge for the top four. I honestly think that's a stretch. We got through the first part of the season because the three behind the No9 scored a f**k tonne of goals, now they can barely get on the pitch. From front to back we have "decent footballers" but it isn't working, and playing that 3-5-2 doesn't help us. Guys like Gullan will look great in training - a technically gifted player - but if you were picking on effectiveness would he be in your 11? To reiterate what I wrote in a total strop last night, our season is finished. If he can get Spencer signed back for next season, spend the next few months identifying a decent number 9 and get the confidence back to play a formation that actually uses the attacking players we have signed on multi year contracts and we might be ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
