DA Baracus Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 McPake has seen right through Chalmers. Telling how sparingly he's been used so far. Little makes the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 How has the front 3 been set up so far? Are any of them playing deeper/wider in a 4-3-1-2 or 4-5-1 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Hara and Wighton are more wide with McCann more of a focal point, although can change. Shit, we should have scored just then! Good move but a decent save from the keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Decent performance first half. Should be more than one. We're creating plenty of chances. Alloa have had one shot on goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Aw f**k. Alloa equalise. We need another goal or we're out. Pretty poor defending too. Edited July 23, 2022 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Incredibly disappointing stuff after we conceded. We regressed big time to the shite of last season after being in control up until then (looking comfortable and should have had more goals). Seems like last season could be hard for some to shake off. After the goal the players looked nervous and confidence notably dropped. Deeply concerning. The Chalmers for Hamilton sub was just so deflating. Hamilton had beem having a really good game. I get why McPake did it (to give Chalmers game time since Hamilton is suspended next week and the week after), but it didn't work and the thought of Chalmers starting the next two is not comforting. That's us out the cup. Shite, as that could have funded another signing potentially. Also, if the draw was kind who knows if we would have gotten through? We could have drawn Annan.

CallumPar Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 First half was fairly decent. Alloa looked alright, but didn’t trouble us. McCann had 2 good chances and forced a good save from the Alloa keeper. Second half, we started strong, then fell apart as soon as we had that run of 4 shots that were all blocked. Once we conceded, heads went down and for some reason, our intensity dropped. Taking off Hamilton was odd. Todd was knackered and Hamilton was our best midfielder by some distance. Then Chalmers came on and barely broke sweat. Same goes for Todorov when he came on. First half (and every game so far), McCann was closing down defenders, hassling them. Todorov did that for a few minutes, then started walking whenever their defenders had the ball. Moving McCann out wide when he was starting to tire was another odd move and really shows why we need to add depth to the squad. Alloa made subs to change the game and we don’t have the personnel to be able to do that. Maybe we needed that kick up the ass. Second half was nowhere near good enough and we need to see a reaction from that next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 McPake making subs that change the game for the better... for the opposition is a trademark move. Get used to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get used to it. To be fair to him, anyone he brings on at the moment will not be an improvement on the starting XI given how utterly shallow our squad is. In saying that, I'd rather Tod came on instead of Chalmers. I'd rather Sammy The Tammy came on instead of Chalmers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Any positives to take? I didn’t make it today although I was at the stadium at about 2:30 picking up the season tickets ahead of next weekend. I was quite surprised at how busy it looked, so when I realised the attendance was less than 2000 I was shocked. I honestly feel for Chalmers. He had a really shite end to last season when it was discovered he wasn’t very good and a bit of a shitebag. Then he scored the own goal that sealed our fate in the playoffs and he’s now missed a kick in the shootout which all but knocked us out the cup, the guy must feel lower than a snakes belly which is a concern considering he’ll be in for Hamilton next weekend and the following, such a big loss. I know Alloa were a bit of a bogey team for us but that result concerns me today. We need more bodies in, I know he’s waiting for the right ones but we really need some more quality. Hopefully there’s a chance to get some in before Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there’s a chance to get some in before Saturday. Plenty of positives until the equaliser. We played well until that and missed quite a lot of chances. We should have been at least 2 up at half time. Missed chances second half too until the equaliser. Felt we moved the ball well and had some good passages of play. Hamilton was great, taking the ball in all areas and moving play forward. We absolutely dominated before the equaliser. It's odd reading comments elsewhere about the game today. Genuinely think folk watched a different game to me given the silly comments about 'lack of effort' and 'we were shite' etc. Chalmers didn't score any goals in the playoffs. In fact, only one player did, and he wasn't a Pars player. Regardless, I don't feel sorry for Chalmers. Pretty sure we were out anyway even if he had won the penalty shoot out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
