ShaggerG Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 2 hours ago, Springfield said: Fantastic performances from every player including the subs. Thought we controlled the game apart from two ten minute spells, but never in danger. Couldn’t honestly pick a MOM, Mackie Spencer Tait Henderson MacIver were simply sensational. Adams had a shaky first ten then strolled the game. Different animal this league as Queens showed, better players that will keep us on our toes for full 90 odd minutes. Thought we’d maybe get better type refereeing, last night’s three officiating were poor at best. Ultras and crowd fantastic. Lastly can the council get the pavement reinstated before someone gets seriously injured. Its fenced area hasn’t been worked on for months, seen a guy with two little children nearly getting wiped out. How there hasn't been a bad accident there is a mystery to me. Folk taking a risk by going too far into the road, combined with some eejit boy racer coming in the other direction is a disaster waiting to happen! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a pedestrian diversion that takes a bit longer but is safe for kids (and adults) to walk to the stadium and back. Stupidity to dodge cars on the road, particularly with kids.

Difficult to hear given the atmosphere in the KM7 Yeah - similar to me as I heard 221 and was in the main stand so a bit less rowdy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those blocks are a bit smaller than the rest as they have the concourse tunnels and hold 312, so cant have been more than that. Given the back couple of rows were taped off it would definitely have been two-hundred-and-something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Some of the pressing on Queen’s Park was very impressive last night, shame Nesbitt missed out as it would have suited him perfectly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 1 hour ago, Russ said: I don't think there's any doubt that we deserved to win that game today played really well in the first half in particular but I also think it's fair to say we will end up playing better than that this season and not get the win. We should've been 1-0 up in the first minute great pressing from Oliver to steal the ball from Welsh and it was poor from Tait after that. Really should have done better with his shot but he also had Morrison completely free. Calvin Miller extremely unlucky not to score before he did with the shot off the line and then Morrison probably should have done better from the Oliver cut-back. All 3 chances coming at 0-0 in the first half. Goals aside the other other chance of note we had was the excellent strike from MacIver (even better save from Ferrie tbf) some work and feet from the big man to win the ball back, dance round a player and ping it right towards the top corner. Thought he was outstanding all game. Felt we were pretty much in control for the majority of that first half with Queens Park only really looking threatening on the odd counter attack. There were times in both halves where our midfield was extremely stretched with big gaps in it and a better team probably could have punished us more. On Queens Park I wasn't overly impressed with them. They do look like they are capable of playing some good stuff but at times were too reliant on just hoofing the ball up in the general direction of Rudden who was utterly shite he's a shadow of the player he was when we had him at 18. Cammy Kerr was their best player imo thought he had a really good game and kept Morrison fairly quiet. Both starting wing-backs for them were very poor Josh Scott didn't really do anything in an attacking sense and his use of the ball was fairly poor and then playing Louis Longridge as a wing-back is just mental he never really got close to Calvin Miller all game. Also thought Jack Turner in the middle of the park was completely anonymous which in turn made Sean Welsh have far too much work to do and he was nowhere near as effective as I thought he might. To a lesser extent you could say the same about Dom Thomas he scored an unbelievable goal but then don't really think he was in the game much after that. For us I'd agree that nobody had a particularly poor game but definitely some players that stood out more than others. Hogarth didn't have a great deal to do (he had absolutely no chance with the goal) but everything he did do was done well a couple of good stops, commanded his box well and came out to help his defence. Whilst there was a couple that weren't great in the second half his quick kicks and distribution is such a huge thing for us on the counter. I thought Keelan Adams started a bit shaky and did steadily get better as the game went on. Liam Henderson was fantastic again that's his 5th game in a row starting at centre-back now and he's been a minimum of 8/10 in each of them he's been an absolute rock at the back and I think you can see his time in central midfield has made him much better on the ball and a lot more comfortable passing the ball around. Middle of the park I felt at times, in particular the second half, we were clearly missing Aiden Nesbitt. That's not intended as a knock on Gary Oliver I thought he was fine but they're clearly different players but Nesbitt creativity, energy and relentlessness is vital to us. Brad Spencer was just doing Brad Spencer things as per usual he always wants the ball and looks after it so well barely wasted a pass all night. I felt that Dylan Tait was pretty poor on the ball but out of possession he was good. Really worked his arse off in terms of his pressing, getting up and down the pitch and battling to win the ball back. With his booking he was lucky he didn't actually catch the boy otherwise he'd have been off. The front 3 I thought Calvin Miller was probably unlucky to be the first off again he was still playing really well and from the 2 wingers he was having the most impact on the game Morrison probably wasn't getting the ball as often as he'd have liked but also felt he had a tougher game up against Kerr. Finally MacIver was my MoM thought he was absolutely brilliant. Played a huge part in the first goal turning that big carthorse Ujdur easily and although he got his shot all wrong it still worked out with Miller getting on the rebound. But his workrate is immense for us he sets the tone for the team with his pressing from the front never gives the keeper or centre-backs any time on the ball and is right in their faces. Not just that but his hold up and link up play is class. Wins almost every flick on and whilst our game plan is to build through the thirds with Tait and Spencer he's so good to have as the option if we need to go long the ball can stick and he can get us up the park. Your report on the game would put the Sports Journalist Impersonators of the Press and Broadcasters to shame. Respect 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) On last night Hogarth was confident and solid never stood a chance for their goal. The stand out for me was Mackie always felt he had a mistake in him at LB last season when he came in for McCann but never put a foot wrong last night. MacIver was outstanding. Looked as if Coll was struggling before coming off but is a bit behind the curve with his fitness I dare say, still think there is more to come out this team. We laid off the pressing play too much towards the end of the game and allowed QP to come into it a bit too much but we got it over the line which is the main thing. Definitely missed Nesbitts presence but cant fault Oliver. Referee was sh*te and was almost like anytime we won possession through a challenge the decision went to QP. Massive credit to the Ultras when you consider how quiet TFS used to be on a matchday, they've gave it an atmosphere which was like last season all over again. By the looks less than 200 tickets left for next Saturday at EEP Edited August 3 by AL-FFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks less than 200 tickets left for next Saturday at EEP The atmosphere was good lastnight. Excellent in fact. But for the first time in a while I heard a couple of songs starting up (they didn't really take thankfully) that I'd really rather they left alone. The Ultras have been an unrelentingly positive influence on matchdays and according to McGlynn, the team, but they can f**k off with the Norrie chants and I hope there's none of it next week 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
