I couldn't watch today's game, but nothing that's been said has been any surprise. We don't have the players for 4-4-2, and I can't believe Slater is still taking set pieces. He has been consistently woeful at them since he signed. I'm gutted to lose our Morton record, this must be how Inverness felt when we finally managed to beat them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broath Boy Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Board have to give Jim an open cheque book, to play with, goal is to stay in div 1, I’m sure we’ve got a wad in the bank, so signing pros, won’t be without our budget. Todays game, why the fukk would you give an opposition support to the terrace when they have a covered seat in the terrace, they choose to stand in the rain, they had a seat available, going round to the “switchie end” with home support might have helped to suck the ball in, when we go to cappilow (spelling) we get the stand under cover, but no choice to stand on terrace behind goals, board get a grip and look after home fans first, then if space available offer to away fans. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut up you utter weapon. There was more Morton fans than seats available in the main stand, and anyone expecting folk to stand out in the open in that weather when there’s a perfectly good roof for cover available is an absolute c*nt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyJoe Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Aye did feel sorry for the away fans in the corner tbf glad they eventually allowed them under the enclosure. Wouldn’t of made a difference if we were behind the goal or not 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtiekev Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Clear as day we are in trouble, We can't play 4-4-2 against Raith with the squad we have available just now, It's a massive job to fix the confidence and squad and January can't come soon enough, The bench yesterday was massively poor, Was disappointed when Hylton got taken off, was wanting him put out on the wing instead of stuck uo top, If we are to stick with the 4-4-2 where does Mckenna play? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I can’t see where a win is coming from just now. Best hope is a draw! Looks like we will be without Ricky Little on Wednesday as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlovessmokedhaddock Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Yesterday showed how bare the squad is. The legacy of the previous regime. Which the board has to take some responsibility for, they have the oversight. The players worked hard, but the shape of Morton stopped our passing and the numbers in defence gave no space around the box. We desperately needed some guile, dare I say a Bobby Linn character. But Bobby in his prime and not the nearly forty Bobby he is now. It would be easy to pick fault with players and systems. But they have all played enough games as 442 in their careers to know what is expected. I liked how Jim McIntyre recognises that Scott Stewart is not a full back and put Norey in there. He was solid, bar a shape positional error in the lead up to the first goal. But the terrible pass that exposed his error was not his fault. The new boss will have seen writ large the size of the task. Finger in the dam during December to build some confidence, then recruitment, recruitment, recruitment. Ricky left on crutches half way through the second half On the back of Friday night's interview you have got to hope that he turned up to the board and said you have weaknesses here, here and here and I've arranged him, him and him to arrive on January 1st. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I’ve watched a lot of games in the championship and can safely say when you’re battling like hell to stay up and pick up every point possible I don’t think 4-4-2 works. As has been stated, full time fitter and sharper teams will blow us away in yhe middle of the pitch. Hopefully McIntyre sees this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Maybe a 4-5-1 formation on Wed with a tight compact defence and the midfield having to work hard with counter attacks on the break ? Whatever formation, the midfield are going to need to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and win their battles in midfield ( which of course has been an issue all season). Expect few changes to the starting 11 - but the formation will need a shuffle to avoid a heavy defeat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. This again illustrates what Jim McIntyre is up against. We have 2 midfielders with pace and aggression, McKenna and Balde. One injured, the other out on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcityrocker Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Can only assume Balde was put on loan due to a discipline issue - have heard no rumours, but he is a quality player with potential. He will surely be recalled in January. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Think people forgetting how awful Balde was at the start of the season. Edited December 10, 2023 by Smokerson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
