VinnyPar Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Without Bene in the middle of that back 3 it just doesn't seem to work. Granted we beat Morton and Queens with that same issue but not sure how much of that was down to the other team being so toothless going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 It's really heartwarming to see these Rovers fans so upset and concerned about our disastrous run of form, so it is..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half at Firhill was fairly even, and many would argue we had the better chances and were perhaps unlucky to go into the break 1-0 down. You can't say the same about yesterday. In the second half we started quite well v Partick but the keeper sold the jerseys for their second and we only had Moffat on the bench to change things around and our heads dropped totally when the third went in and the game petered out. As I say I wasn't there so just going by what I've read and heard. Although based on the highlights it looked closer than the score suggested so think that's probably fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the kind of hubris we had with Hughes and Grant and look where that got us. This is a long term project, we're exactly where I thought we'd be at this stage. We haven't lost a game by more than one goal other than Partick and we battered Morton a few weeks ago. Yesterday was shite but struggling is a bit strong.

Aye, not having a go at you but I've heard that a few times even from folk who were there or watched a stream which is weird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 5 hours ago, Cardle is Magic said: There’s a guy at the back of the Norrie who has the most consistent terrible shouts I’ve heard at a Pars game in some time. Best one yesterday was when Wighton played a good through ball to McCann in the second half and this brain donor started complaining that Wighton wasn’t already in the middle for the cross. Problem with Wighton is doing that really need Moffat or Summers to be in the box we were too slow getting forward yesterday amongst other problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, Enigma said: Perhaps not “struggling” as such, but against the historic precedent and looking at your squad it could be argued you are underperforming. Worth noting that usually the team coming up from League One traditionally starts very strongly and then drops off a bit as teams figure them out, or they just lose some momentum. That doesn’t seem the case for you this season. I'd be interested in how you'd argue that our squad is under performing when it's been stretched right to the limit to the extent we've had one senior outfield sub. Worth noting that when we were last promoted as champions from League one we started incredibly slowly under AJ, however figured out the division as we went and finished fifth. Before finishing in the playoffs the following the season. I just don't agree with how grim you're making things out to be really.

parsforlife Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 On the many were also the ones who got relegated I’m really not sure how well that holds up. Those who got relegated Todd, chalmers, edwards, comrie Allan, Breen, mehmet, mcannn and wighton. Of those, comrie wighton and edwards were all regulars in the team that finished 4th the year before and McCann, Allan and Todd were all guys coming from the youth step up who arguably were put in too quickly for the circumstances at the time but Todd and McCann especially have really kicked on in the last few years. That leaves Breen, mehmet and chalmers, Breen is relatively young himself and chalmers and mehmet have shown massive improvements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The mystery guy spotted at the open training session is still kicking around. Was at the game with our injured players on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not convinced Chalmers has shown massive improvement at this level, and Mehmet had a few moments on Saturday where it looked again like his confidence was shot. Luckily his shot stopping was still good, but at crosses and with his feet it was pretty ropey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnyPar Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) He's not an academy player, it's the Kenyan lad who's been training with the club for weeks now. No idea if he's signing or not. Faiz Ouma I think is his name, 19 or 20 year old centre half. Edit - first name Faiz, sign him now.

Wacky Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I’m heading to the Carnegie hall tonight to see/hear big Leishmans patter? leish, the bunnit, and someone else who I can’t remember right now are doing some sort of comedy show. I’m looking forward to it, coz I’ve spent time in both Leish and Dicks company a few times, weddings, parties etc, and know they can both hold an audience. I hope they are on form tonight. Anyone else going? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
