scott666 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 A Barcelona formation v Jim Duffy's scrambles for tactical relevance. Through the looking glass here. Wouldn't have recognised Duffy with those glasses on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas 62 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 McManus was off form and when McManus is off form, we have no-one available to pick up the slack: that's the main disappointment of the January singings: Caldwell could perhaps become a second goalscorer, but he won't play, because MacDonald is a good link-up player but now offers very little goalscoring threat. It's McManus doing well or nothing, which probably explains our ridiculously hit and miss league record. Hehe We were slightly the better team in a first half when Brechin threatened to lose the plot in terms of discipline, In the second half as we threw players forward to no effect there was only going to be one winner. Barr's run into the box was skilful and yet was only really intended for the ridiculous challenge (he already skipped past dodgy efforts), which was of course duly provided by the horrendous ex-Montrose diddy in the Morton team, who has gifted at least six penalties this season to the opposition. Twice in two home games a very good free-kick has been taken without even the challenge of having a defender on the near post. It probably wouldn't have stopped the actual shot going in in either incident, but having a defender on the line would have changed the taker's calculations in the first place. A carelessness in organisation which also explains why there's only three draws in our record compared to eleven defeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 f**k knows what super ton was watching but that was most certainly not a 4-3-3, nor a 4-3.5-2.5 as the clueless one was havering on about last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTon Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 So we played a (4-4-2/4-3-3) so I was partly right Who the f*ck sends a team out not knowing what formation they're playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 According to your manager Gaston never had a save to make ! As all Brechin fans are well aware, our manager doesn't have the slightest clue what he's talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It wasn't 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. It was just a mess. The way I saw it Forbes, O'Ware, and Miller were a central midfield 3, with McCluskey on the left wing. So a sort of 4-4-2 with no-one really on the right. I was guessing it just looked that way because Miller was so uncomfortable in the role he was meant to be playing. Sometimes McCluskey pushed up enough to make it look like a 4-3-3. The flatter 4-4-2 when the other McCluskey came on wasn't any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I thought I'd have cheered up after a night's rest, but no, I'm still absolutely seething we've chucked another league away. If there's any silver lining it's that Duffy should be out of a job in a matter of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 This time last season we killed off Dundee's title hopes with a 1-0 win at Scapa. Except they went on to win the league. Yes, I'm clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

port-ton Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 it's absolutely pathetic that you need to go down to 8th in a ten team league to find a team who has lost more league games than us. Duffy is useless. Guy i know who is from Glasgow and doesn't support Morton was talking to him last night and he told me Duffy said to him that our fans absolutely hate him and the abuse he gets at games is crazy, so on the upside at least he knows he's useless.

To be fair Morton fans hate everyone so the Duffster shouldn't feel despondent. Mind you it was a bit naive of him to think it would be any other way.

If there's any silver lining it's that Duffy should be out of a job in a matter of weeks. That's the key word there. He should never have been given the job in the first place and he should have been sacked months ago, but he was given the job and he wasn't sacked. His position is certainly untenable, but Rae has previously stood by managers for far longer than he should have, allowing them to do even more damage. I've seen people saying that it's not so bad that we won't get promoted as under Duffy we'd only have come straight back down, and at least this means we can get a new manager in. That's not going to happen. We're getting the worst of both worlds: we're staying down and Duffy's keeping his job, because our Chairman is the only person on the planet with less of an understanding of football than Jim Duffy.

Mr Rae didn't appreciate the criticism of Duffster yesterday especially with us rubbing salt into the wounds. His cohorts in suits didn't know how to take it either. You could just see the seethe in them as they tried to remain restrained. Pleasing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Morton should still win the next 2 games, even accounting for their pishness, and Forfar and Stranraer have tough games in the next 2 weeks. Meaning the Stranraer v Morton game will probably be winner takes all between these two, then depends what Forfar do. I think we'll take something off them next week and they'll drop other points still. Certainly still all to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we WILL win them but it's a pretty sound logic for saying we SHOULD win them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
