First one Richardson slipped. Can't account for that. The defending for the others was terrible. Stewart takes an absolute age on the ball. So many decent passing options disappear when he's in possession. Teams have this sussed already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Main Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Aye Stewart takes a fucking age to do anything. But there was a lethargy and lack of clarity with all our passing today. I hope that was just a bad day.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a special player to injure his hamstring booting a free kick into the top tier of the RDS. He’s not good enough. Early days but I’m questioning some of the recruitment & fees paid. Duk looks a bit of a headless chicken (is he Austin Samuels?). Richardson doesn’t look like a £300k full back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made a shite Motherwell team look semi-competent, which is some achievement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraniteGype Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Aye Stewart was far too casual when the ball was at or near his feet today. He was lucky Motherwell didn’t punish us on several occasions. An almost entirely new squad was never going to gel or click immediately. But the first goal aside, there was very little cohesion or structure to anything we tried today on the few occasions we had stable possession of the ball. We were completely outfought, outthought, and outplayed in every area of the pitch. Bit of a worry even this early on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 A home defeat always has potential to snowball if you have a tricky away tie up next. A trip to St Johnstone is pretty decent for Goodwin. I don't doubt Jim Goodwin is genuine and managing in the way he would like to be managed (i.e direct) but it can come across as ruthless and doesn't leave huge room if he goes through a bit of a rough spot as he has changed things very quickly to suit his vision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingswellsRed Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I concluded Goodwin wasn’t the man for the job after his failure to have a positive impact last season. I am sticking to that opinion until he hopefully proves me wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I didn’t get over excited with st Mirren and I’m not getting over excited about today. Nothing short of a disgraceful performance though. The defending gave me some PTSD from last season tbh. I like Goodwin but he’s not got many performances like that in the bank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup Dare I say he needs to win his next 4 games before the Sevco game Soundbites are great but there isn’t a lot of credit in the bank and the knives will be out if we get a few more performances/results like that today He also needs a good early cup run to keep the wolves away from the door 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 It was a concerning performance, to be honest. Without wanting to be too negative, there wasn't really anything about today that I liked. We looked nervous in possession from basically the first kick, guilty of being both too slow (Stewart and Ramadani particularly culpable) and too imprecise. Then, when we lost the ball, Motherwell found it far too easy to get behind and through us. Hayes' goal should have been a turning point and the moment that we begun to take control of the game, but we were still as haphazard as the first half. I am hoping that some of it can be attributed to the players just getting to know each other, though. There was a moment in the first half where we lost possession and immediately tried to press onto Motherwell, but Richardson was standing about ten yards too deep and they were able to work their way out of it. Ramadani gave Richardson an earful for it, and that is the sort of thing you have to hope will be ironed out with time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he survived with us, by the skin of his teeth, as he was a St.Mirren legend. He doesn't have that luxury with you lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got excited after St Mirren as I saw those type of performances in the league cup but wasn't sure if it was due to lower league opposition. Saturday game was the complete opposite with so many players not at it. Not going to be too hard on them yet as I'm hoping this was a rare bad performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discounting the matches against lower league opposition, we showed nothing at Celtic Park and beat a ten man St Mirren team. Therefore, we have no evidence thus far that we just had an 'off day'. There's an argument to say Goodwin got his team wrong with McCrorie in defence. The jury is still out on the keeper. Stewart is too slow and distribution only good enough for the simple ball. Teams are going to allow him time on the ball. Richardson can't defend although does well enough going forward. Scales is not a left back but our manager played him there today out of choice not necessity! Clarkson looked like the inexperienced boy he is today. Ramadani was awful, slow and ponderous. That step overs before falling over himself summed up his day. Lots of effort from Duk but is there any quality there? Morris didn't have any good show anything positive today. McKenzie still doesn't look good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
