Fuctifano Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I'm hoping the fact Mitchell walked off under his own steam meant it was a bit more precautionary. I still think he should have cleared it though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Have agents Crawford & Chalmers been activated too early? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one got pass marks tonight, I forgot both Crawford and McBeth were playing until about 40 minutes in, but it is still early days and as you said this was the first proper f**k-up we've had since the group stages came in. I think Crawford will be useful for us this season but other than as a hype man I don't see where Wasiri does, every pass forward went to the opposition, he can maybe do a job as a no-nonsense RB against better teams - probably no surprise one of his best performances there was vs Dundee Utd last season- but there's nothing from him going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I don't think Wasiri had a terrible game tonight, or O'Reilly for that matter. They just look like what they are. Centre backs playing at full back. Wasiri in particular looks in a panic when he gets into the opponents final third. In the first half the issue was both him and Chalmers want to go inside all the time which is very easy to defend against. Kyle Turner is different gravy and will be a star again for us. BBG looks much better when it's Robinson in the 10 role than anyone else playing in there. From what I've seen so far I'd be starting Muirhead and O'Reilly at centre back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he should have cleared it though? Yeah I thought so as well. It almost looked like he tried to run behind the ball to clear it rather than just dive forward onto it, which seemed like the more practical option. 2 minutes ago, jaggyness said: I don't think Wasiri had a terrible game tonight, or O'Reilly for that matter.

Wasiri misplaced a pass or cross just about every time he got the ball. I’m not expecting him to get up and down the pitch all day putting in dangerous crosses like McMillan did, but he was really, really poor tonight. Alarming if Ashcroft can’t replace Muirhead at this point, but based on tonight’s performance you might be right about that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember two really early on where one was a terrible call from Aero that he followed and then one by Chalmers who called for it then ran down the channel so not all his fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_M Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) 1 hour ago, Reid said: If Mitchell’s injury is bad that could be a massive issue. I’m sure we could get a keeper quite quickly but it most likely won’t be one of much quality. We’ve been in the market for a keeper all summer and haven’t found the right one yet. Two full backs needed too. Surely not out for long with a bruised ego. Edited July 23 by Jamie_M 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudia Gentile Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Mitchell felt his hamstring. Minimum of two weeks out possibly months (worst case scenario)according to Dools. We will no doubt see some transfer activity now before Sunday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked to me like he injured himself running back try to catch it hence the mess he ended up in trying to keep it off the line. heard was his hamstring so could easily have went when trying to run back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Took his goal really well last night but always been impressed with Aidan Fitzpatrick whenever I’ve seen him and thought he could make the step up to the premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll find this a running theme. It can be so frustrating to watch, because he has all the ability to be a great player. He just can not use his right foot so you will always see him drifting in. Will try play outside of the left foot passes rather than use his right foot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Clavdivs Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 That old Cloughian maxim of "good team on paper ,unfortunately we play on grass" comes crashing home once again .Anyhoos,early doors yet and still time to recruit, settle and get the chemistry right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Sheridan Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Very disorganised performance last night. I noticed it during the play-offs last season and again last night, but we seem to play a polo-mint formation at times, with absolutely no-one in the centre of midfield. Everything goes long or down the wings. However, Wasiri has no confidence going forward and taking on the defender, so it doesn't work without the right players in the right positions. I am not in the 'he's useless' camp, but he's a central defender, not a wing-back. Though some of his passing was poor last night - which could be said of a lot of the team to be honest. I am not completely disheartened, it is still early in the season, we have some new players getting used to the system, their team-mates, and we are not done in the transfer market. As others have said, we need a goalie, right back and striker at the least. Edited July 24 by Griff Sheridan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
