Those are two positives we can at least take. He looked a handful but it won't be long before his card is marked by the referees on that performance today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if it’s a loan or permanent but I take it no one here will be sad to see him go. See, I don't think there's any ill will towards White here. He's fairly well proven at Championship level but he's just miles out his depth with us. There's every chance he'd do a turn for Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Neils40yarder Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Heads gone all over the place on Steelmen Online...for me, I thought we were unlucky in the 1st half and were certainly no worse than Aberdeen...when Polworth had his 2nd meltdown of the day, we were fucked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of swings and roundabouts position that I've sort of settled on (almost). If we'd lost 2-0 last week and drawn 1-1 today it'd be kind of "sure, OK" (though clearly heads would still be detached on Steelmen whatever happened). The manner of the defeat is clearly annoying especially with shipping cheap goals and Polworth selling the jerseys. As multiple folk have said hopefully that's been an eyeopener for Alexander and P45s are being prepared (regardless of what he's saying in public).

Busta Nut Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I am not a Polworth fan on a day where he's been good but he's an empty jersey this season. Our midfield is a fucking riot. Look at the names in there. Who can change or influence a game? Who is of a decent standard this year? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, even as someone who is a fan of Polworth I've got to say he's been miles aff it this season. I thought he'd perked up a bit against St Mirren and Rangers but that today should see his card marked. On a broader point, one that's been mentioned before on here he's literally our only creative midfielder - Campbell on his day is a smashing player but he's not going to unlock a defence, same with O'Hara, same with Donnelly, Crawford and Maguire while Cornelius only has a couple of first team games to his name. The only other player who you'd say is a creative midfielder is Semple and he's on loan at Cove (and not getting many regular starts). It's wild that we've gone into this season knowing that Turnbull was leaving and pinned the entire creative side of our team to Polworth managing to keep up his form and staying free of injury.

welldaft Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 We have not helped ourselves in this run of awful results but... That is now 3 weeks in a row where the referee has literally fucked us over. I will say we were lucky to get a point v Rangers but their goal was potentially offside. Not a lot in it but with VAR I am quite sure it would not have stood. So a narrow one and almost forgivable. But the penalty for St Mirren was a disgrace. The save from the Aberdeen player today was almost as bad. A definite penalty. Even Sportscene pundits agree. Then you have the goal we scored v Hibs wrongly chalked off at 0-0. If this was Celtic or Rangers statements would be issued. The Managers would be raging. Every game a key decision is going against us. It is getting beyond a joke now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I assume appealing Polworth's Red would mainly be about getting him in the team for Wednesday rather than any expectation that we'll succeed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only way I can think of us having anything creative between midfield & attack. Between Campbell, Crawford, Maguire and O'Hara there's hunners of running and kicking folk but not very much actual football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Any successful appeal for Polworth would see the card down graded to a yellow, a second yellow which means a red card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bit of fight in them this season, they all think they can play actual football when in fact they should stick to the kicking folk, with the exception of Campbell however maybe not in recent weeks. Miss his driving runs and bullying people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
