Are we forgetting Hogarth made the same mistake at Hamilton, or Lang shouting at him as he couldn't hold a simple shot. These guys are young and the worst thing you can do is knock their confidence. Yes so I would think Nicky's confidence has been knocked, being dropped the week after being man of the match ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastic Bairn Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 14 hours ago, Shodwall cat said: He didn't make the same mistake at Hamilton though. The issue there was that it was right on the edge of the box and he was concerned he was going to handle it outside. Long didn't have that worry. All he needed to do was catch it and it was 3 points in the bag. Long has made far more errors than Hogarth over the course of the season. “The issue was that it was at the edge of the box?” He caught it then dropped it, so he dropped it because he was outside the box? It was an error, as was Long on Saturday who at worst should have caught it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an error, as was Long on Saturday who at worst should have caught it. Quite simple he catches it and ends up out his area he's off so he goes to It too tentatively. It was a misjudgement but didn't cost us anything. How many points or games has hogarths errors cost us this season? Longs have so far cost us two cup runs and at least 4 points alone from our last two drawn games. Hogarth's haven't cost us anything. That's the difference for me along with the fact he was in excellent form so it's ludicrous to drop him and bring in another keeper who then flaps and costs us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK1Bairn Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Watched the highlights this morning and it's definitely a howler from Long. Thought it at the time and confirmed on the highlights. Ultimately, keeper mistakes do tend to result in goals being lost, that happens all over the world and there are far better experienced international keepers who concede goals as a result of mistakes they make. But how many chances to score did we need? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Other teams will have seen Longs mistake so we can expect long throws and crosses every time he plays. He will know it was his fault which will make him even more nervous. Keeping him as our run in keeper is keeping us vulnerable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Long may not have lost us any league games but we've certainly dropped points due to his mistakes and we've also gone out of cups earlier than we should have. I could just about understand the rotation if they were both our keepers but only 1 is, and he's the one who looks more likely to develop so play him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelled up and down the country to be let down by utter charlatans. Personal lowlights have been Airdrie 6-2 Falkirk Falkirk 0-3 Montrose Falkirk 0-3 Cove rangers Queens Park 6-0 Falkirk Partick 5-0 Falkirk Falkirk 0- 1 Clyde So forgive me for being a bit excited at the thought of winning a title. There was also a home defeat to QOS when they had 143 shots (think it ended 3 nil?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cost us a goal, and luckily it was earlier in the match and the team were playing superb. I've already said I would have kept in Hogarth on Saturday, as he was strong at Kelty, however both are error prone with handling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I missed the game on Saturday but for me Long has made more, and worse errors than Hogarth over the course of the season. Other than at NDP and the home game against Edinburgh I'm struggling to think what Hogarth has really done wrong tbh Long has slightly better distribution than Hogarth but that's where the advantages end As Hogarth is our keeper it should be an absolute no-brainer who should start in goal between now and the end of the season ETA: In the league this season Hogarth has conceded 7 in 12 matches and won 10 games out of 12, Long is worse at 9 in 14 and also only winning 10 despite playing 2 games more. ETA2: If we have to start Long in some matches between now and the end of the season, why don't we wait until the title is officially wrapped up before doing so?

FFS we should have been out of sight after 20 minutes Got a quick chance to put it right. Hope the way we drew on Saturday makes the team eager to get it right Cove are better than Annan or Kelty with Fyvie back. Not an easy game. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
