Boo Khaki Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Tempted to trawl back for the umpteen posts in here from last season where I explained precisely why Doc's 3/5 fails every single time to deal with an opponent in gung-ho mode, but I really don't see the point. It's clear he's learned absolutely nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago As I say, can rearrange the deckchairs all you like. It was working until our goalkeeper threw the ball into the back of his net and Kilmarnock got the momentum lift and we went into panic mode. If McCracken starts next week it's a f**king disgrace. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Navy Blue brothers thank you so much for Luke Graham, boy is a f**king star. We will take good care of him for you this season and send him back hopefully with a championship winners medal in his hip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought big Billy had probably his best game yet, and for once, he didn't have a howler that flogged a goal. Just bloody typical that McCracken throws one in to make up for that though. 7 minutes ago, MarbellaDEE said: Gunn went off injured for Norwich so there’s a chance he plays for Scotland Still don't really understand why McCracken is in the squad beyond there not being anyone else. He's done nothing to merit it, and it stinks a bit of "any scottish qualified laddie who owns a pair of gloves". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the stupid determination to stick with the 3-5. It doesn't cope with teams pushing on at all because it ends up in 5 or 6 v's 2 in midfield, and we totally cede control to the point where it's just a game of shootie-in. I'm baffled as to why Doc doesn't see it, because every time we blew a lead last season the game was a carbon-copy of the previous blown lead, and this was no different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don't know why Cameron wasn't subbed when we went 2-0 up and we didn't just flood the midfield. I'd have even taken off Adewumi at that point for a more defensive player. We were also crying out for a leader on the park when we lost the first - someone to calm things down. And any reason why Fraser didn't come on?

I had Fraser on the brain talking about leadership - or the lack of it. I meant why didn't he bring on Braybrooke? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverado66 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Harder to take than last week. I never blame a result on a ref, although today it would almost be justified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any reason why Fraser didn't come on? He did similar last season with insisting on leaving 2-up when we were trying to hold on to a lead. I get the theory behind it, and you can argue it paid off today with Adewumi's 2nd, but the fact is that it's failing to close out the game every single time and cost us about 20-25 points over the last year+, so I really don't understand why he's still trying to close games out in exactly the same way. I get the argument that if McCracken doesn't throw one in then the roof doesn't cave in either, but even till that point it was the same story as before. For most of the 2nd half Killie could just play the ball back and forth across the pitch for as long as they liked. That would be fine if it was on the half way line, but it was 25 yards from our goal, and that happens consistently in every single time we've been unable to see a match out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverado66 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago When we regain possession at corners, can't we keep it for a few seconds instead of launching it to the opposition waiting on the half way line. Lyall guilty of that loads in the last 20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravabelli Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Don’t know why Doc thought putting 2 young attacking players up front and doesn’t bring on Mulligan to close down and put tackles in midfield was a good move when you’re down to 10 men and sitting deep! Naive at best imho, f**king bonkers at worst! Keeper is as weak as nuns piss and was the catalyst for losing that game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
