welldaft Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Decent comer from Paton and excellent header from Blaney puts us 1-0 up at Montrose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 All I can saybis that we need to stop holding the ball then passing it backwards. Maybe having two strikers would help with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Between playing Harry Paton at all costs and only playing 1 striker regardless of the opposition, I can see this being another season of me cursing Kettlewell whether we win, lose or draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking the exact same tbh. Things feel really positive with the signings and now the off the pitch stuff. However having watched now three games with one striker against lower league opposition, I can feel this being a source of frustration this year. Things are going to nice but with limited cutting edge. However if we keep scoring headers from corners who are we to complain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upthread I mentioned that I'd join the WS if the good guys won. I'd be deeply disappointed if you tried to dissuade me..... Left ML1 in 1992. Had my best ever paneer in Folkestone, an ex Gurka town.....if this gives me a chance of redemption here.....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a glib reference to the toast chat mate. Not had Nepalese food buy it looks braw. Get signed up for the WS. Fan ownership is the way forward for clubs like ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Pretty tame first half. With the changes it does still feel like a training game. I honestly hope we change shape either at half time or for the clyde game. We keep getting towards the midfield and then stopping. People making runs are then having to come back and THEN are getting the ball. When we have made actual attacks, they have been pretty good and we seem to be pretty lethal at corners now (aside from the first one today, that was a copy of last seasons corners). All in all, it's what I expected. I guess with the goal, a lot of the pressure will be off. But if we do get through, then seeding might go down to goal difference. Not taking our chances against league one/two opposition may hurt us eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Also, nae Toast being offered here in montrose, so I can't get their opinion on the matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMotherwell1 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 We’re crying out for a Spittal type player. Looks like we’ve built a solid foundation with our work so far, would be nice to add some more creativity and pace into the mix though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia Gentile Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Had an operation earlier in the year and did the usual fast the evening before and in early the next morning. When I came round I was offered a bite to eat sandwich etc or just some toast I went for the toast option and it was glorious. I wonder where they get their bread? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliphas Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) I'm for giving him the benefit of the doubt right now. I get why we would play the same formation we plan to play in the league - new players getting used to each other etc. Injuries too. But I do fear we lack the ability in attacking midfield and the pace and ability at wingback more than anything.

That's completely logical but even in the league this would be cautious and pedestrian... unfair to judge with injuries perhaps but while I understand why we're practicing, I'm a bit concerned at what we're practicing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I get it is the hardest part of the game, especially with many men behind the ball. But our attacking play with so much of the ball had been disappointing. Montrose scored 2 goals v Thistle so we need that second goal. It has been a dominant display in terms of possession. I saw BBC stats showing 42% for Montrose. Not sure what game they are watching. It must 20-25% at most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not significantly better...SOD and Wilson have put a tonne of effort in but while tidy enough, with no pace they're relatively easy to defend. We saw last year the difference it made having the wing-backs sorted or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we've had 9 signings but if there's to be more I want drone footage of Strathclyde Park and the tiny waterfalls at the Dalziell Estate or South Calder Water. Good luck to the big man, I hope Auxerre have YouTube Premium and a Top 10 Strikers video for Theo all ready to go. Glad the votes gone away. Could've announced it yesterday and saved me a convo with a guy on facebook last night but hey ho. Bit weird timing for it to be pulled in the middle of a vote. I don't blame Eric for not coming back to entertain us weirdo's, but surely some egg on his face from the timing. Nice little jibe from TWS about the fees at the bottom of their statement, hope that can be reclaimed, maybe via a 6 year repayment plan... The next Society comms "New Members" section is either gonna be a number or 4 pages of names. Gonna give it a week till it dies down and then join myself up, might see if Little Miss still wants to be a Junior Member too. Sadly I'll out myself as one for saying Toasted Cheese too. 2 slices though. And while I do admire the ability to stand toast upright, it should've been buttered straight away and already looks too burnt for my liking. Don't like tea or coffee, toilet roll should go over, not under, and have found a great fondness for Pop Tarts now they sell them in ASDA. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
