Stevie Kirk Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 21 hours ago, YassinMoutaouakil said: It'll never not wind me up that we let away teams shoot toward their own fans second half. Even if it's something likely to swing it by about 1%. I suppose it depends on us winning the toss. But I agree with you that we should play towards the Cooper 1st half next time we play Celtic . I definitely think they get a lift playing towards that end with corners and pressure in the latter stages and I think the psychological swing would be quite high . Killie have got this stuff stitched up, horrible plastic pitch and sit the away fans in the upper tier = terrific home record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Tangential to us, Hibs fans (some of them at least) are voting against the £6m investment from the Bournemouth guy: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68406904 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Apologies to @thisGRAEME for brazenly lifting his Tweet here but when taken alongside @gregthewellfan's post re: Gent this is interesting in so much as our recruitment has taken a kicking from certain sections... Ironically, the only outfield area of the park we haven't added new players to is centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye - it's that. even though there are "only" six occasions - the players troop off separately and changing that many players overall can make it feel like a pre-season game.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All great when you are ahead/ winning games and this disrupts the flow of the match. We’re not very good at winning games though so I think you notice it more on a stinking run of form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie have got this stuff stitched up, horrible plastic pitch and sit the away fans in the upper tier = terrific home record. I sort of assumed that away teams agree to not rock the boat given that we shoot towards the South Stand first 99% of the time and surely aren't winning the toss with that sort of frequency. It's the same at other grounds mind, I always felt that if we were 1 down with a few minutes left at Accies then the away crowd started to spook them a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, all good info. I'm going to go to one of the sessions, it will be weird giving opinions without editing them a few times first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 So, total pussies on the pitch, but double hard nasty b*****ds in training. Or are we training in the actual thunderdome? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Genuinely, has there ever been a season where so many bad things both big and small have happened? When you add them all together, it's actually bizarre (and a miracle that we aren't in last place by a relatively comfortable margin...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the nearly half of the 22 is the bit I find most annoying. I also think the three windows to make subs is in some ways worse and lead to so many double subs, that should be single subs, but a manager doesn't want to lose one from his quota. If you think about wing backs alone, O'Donnell has been subbed on 5 times and subbed off 10 times and Gent has been subbed on 8 times and subbed off 4 times. I know we play a back three and the games changed, but it wasn't so long ago you only changed a defender if he was either rotten or injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vietnam91 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Don't know the inner workings of the SPFL but I would have thought there was a lot of pressure from wee teams to go back to 3 subs seeing as it was a temporary measure. When a team in theory can introduce 5 subs with combined wages could pay your whole squad for 3 weeks then its added to the "something is pretty wrong" list of why our game continues to increase the wealth and sporting gap rather than address it. Not that our OF record before 2020 was anything special. But as we are in a 11-1 voting system seems it is here to stay. However, it does feel like its looking to shut the gate once the horse has bolted. There are more pressing issues over us repeatedly switching off, not recognising momentum swings and being caught on the hop trying to deal with them. You'll attain more points over a season addressing this than having access to 5 subs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
