If we can concede 3 goals at home to a team who's confidence and form is even worse then ours, what chance have we got away from home to a team who's on a cracking run. 3-1 Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetragrammaton Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 16 minutes ago, TheMessiah said: Holy f**k that is grim. Every single one of those goals has at least 4 or 5 players not only failing to do their job properly, but actually doing it badly. Even if one of them was doing the right thing it would have stopped the goals. What's most worrying is the lack of surprise or any obvious concern or care from the players both before and after the goals. No doubt their heroic resurgence will come on Saturday. The only fight shown was when Naismith spat his dummy out while Queens were celebrating their second goal. I've seen better defensive players in an U-8 match. Still, looking on the bright side, it should be an easy 3 points for you on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Equally as worrying is the lack of firepower in the final third. If the rumours that Loy is coming are true, that goes some way to alleviate that particular worry and means we can fully focus on one or preferably two, new defenders.

Tetragrammaton Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think some of the supporters on here gloating about the skunks "potentially" going out of business is below the belt. Wouldn't you like to see them relegated to the Scottish Lowland Football League first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got absolutely everything: starts with a clearance being deflected to an opponent, we win the ball back... then calmly pass it straight to an opponent... who takes a shot, which is saved and breaks to another opponent, who takes a shot which hits the post, and comes back to another opponent... who eventually thinks "These guys aren't going to let us away without scoring here", so he knocks it in. I think those were pretty much Queens only 3 'attacks' in the game too You missed out the parts with the left back being posted missing for the first shot, the keeper saving a shot straight out into the middle of his own box (the most forgivable error of the lot tbf), the guy who hit the post stood unmarked at the edge of the box, directly in line with the middle of the goals not being marked for a single second of the attack, as well as the laughable positioning to keep the guy who actually scored onside. If literally any one of those things had not happened(including your list) then that goal would not have been scored. I make that 5 horrendously poor mistakes which all combined for that goal, with 1 preventable mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMessiah Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The visable apathy and laziness of the defending for the third goal is actually shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it really DID look like Queen's didn't want to score it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can almost forgive the third given the second ripped the stuffing out of the team. I think up until that went in we still thought we'd a chance of getting a point. To lose such a goal at such a time, when you're already low on confidence, you could see most of the players just wanted the whistle to blow.

buddie06smfc Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Got to admire the workrate of Clarkson at that 3rd goal. Can't shoot, can't pass, can't run. Takes half an hour to turn. More than happy to shout at others despite his obvious failings. Apart from that a pleasure to watch. A woeful player. Amazing that Jack Ross persists with bringing him on ahead of Shankland.

We're undone by the up and under so often that if he's even a yard out of position, he's pretty much fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money would be on it being from the pool of Mallan, McAllister, Naismith and possibly Gallagher I hope it's from the unholy trinity, though.
