In a normal league you’d think it’s stupid diving like that in a friendly as refs will pick up on it and be hesitant to give a penalty against him, that’s In a normal league.

Grangemouth Bairn Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 39 minutes ago, AJF said: Rather poor performance with a few exceptions (Dowell, Lammers and Souttar). I can’t see what style of play we are looking to develop at the moment, so I’m hopeful it’ll come together before the opener against Killie. Adding Danilo, Lawrence, Goldson and Cifuentes into the team though could make a difference. Are you worried that your manager and DoF (same person I know) thinks that your back 4 that started tonight is good enough ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, I don’t think you can win the league - I genuinely believe Frank Lampard could win our league if he managed Celtic, but I expected your DoF to improve your defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd build from the back too but I can see why we'd try to improve our creative/attacking options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I think Beale’s statements at the end of last season about us being woefully profligate in front of goal told the story as to where his focus was going to be in the summer. I think he thinks the defence should be able to take care of itself. I hope he’s right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was blatantly obvious it was a dive in real time. Sometimes a ref can be conned by a “clever” dive. That was not the case here, as it was as clear and obvious a dive as you’ll see. He essentially joined in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he does, which is why we’ve been linked with defenders for most of the transfer window already. I think our first choice CB pairings in Goldson and Souttar are very strong. It’s just unfortunate that Goldson is playing catch up due to his injury. Sterling has already been brought in too, who unfortunately picked up a knock in our training camp. We seen the worst of Barisic last night and I probably expect Ridvan to start the season as first choice. So no, I don’t think that Beale thinks that back 4 is good enough, but I’d expect it to improve with Goldson coming back in and Souttar moving to LCB. I also don’t blame us for going top heavy with the investment in midfield and forward areas, given the departures we’ve had were predominantly in those positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I’m also not sure what the fixation is with the DoF role is either. Plenty clubs operate without one. The fact that one hasn’t been appointment isn’t the fault of Beale. That’s a board decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) I think Lammers has the potential to be a big player for us this season. His close control is excellent and he manages to create dangerous positions for himself out of almost nothing. Very impressed thus far. ETA: I also agree Cantwell’s dive last night was embarrassing. He seemed to lose the head for a period of time in the match. Totally lunged into a tackle needlessly in the build up to the third goal.

Cantwell is a good player, but has taken on some kind of wannabe hard man persona since he came up here, pandering to the crowd. Ironic, as down south he was seen as being as soft as a baby’s first shite, with a heart like a mouse. Quite why he’s trying to act the c**t here is beyond my understanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve just not appointed Ross Wilson’s replacement as yet. We were linked with Claudio Reyna and Christian Nerlinger earlier in the window but nothing came of it. I’m just not sure why Beale is getting criticism for it, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
