Shandon Par Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 2 hours ago, D.A.F.C said: I think he lacks confidence. The move from Ayr and other things might have effected him? For me he is the best link up player we have at the club and a better option than Reilly. There's no doubt confidence is a factor with him. So many Scottish players lack the self confidence (social skills?) to do well in a new environment. They don't settle in a new team or new country and end up back in their comfort zone. Moff sometimes looks crippled with nerves when he has to take a shot but there's no questioning his ability. The way he can control a ball and turn players is a gift, just a shame we've never been able to get him believing in himself and carrying the team like he did at Ayr or like Faissal did for us last year.

HoBNob Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Think allot of that counts for Reilly, fantastic season with Queens and has scored 4? Goals from open play since. He's lost all faith in his own ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I don't think our style of play suits either. We're not getting the ball to him in the box enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I agree with Grant it's hard to pick anything positive about Reilly. He does run about a lot but most of it is pointless. He just disappears in games. No aerial threat, can't hold the ball up, lack of goals. Everything we don't need when we play long balls. I blame the manager for getting him in also, he's not a long ball striker. Farid is much more suited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Draw would be good but I suspect Dunfermline will finally end their poor run and get a comfortable win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Reilly makes some good runs and has a bit of pace so playing balls into the channels for him to run onto isn't the worst idea. The problem is that if he does get on the end of them, there is never anyone else up who he can pass to. Either the other striker is wide or hasn't caught up with him yet or the midfielders are still in the centre circle. The gaps between our lines are far too bug anyway, but playing these types of balls just makes it look 10 times worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingapar Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We absolutely hammered Dumbarton 4-3 in the last game. Despite the positive result, that game sums up our problems this season. Even the other win against an awful St Mirren, we struggled to put to bed. We've not looked capable of a comfortable anything all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not looked capable of a comfortable anything all season. That was a weird game. For all the Dunfermline possession - and at times it felt absolutely dominant - the Pars didnt create as many clear cut chances as they should have. On the flip side the Dumbarton penalties were deserved but the score hides how poor we were. I expect it to be a much closer game today. Whether its a different outcome or not, I can't see it being 4-3. I think it'll be 1-0 or 2-1 but I'm not sure which side will bag the winner.

Shandon Par Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Pars lineup as expected, with Nicky Clark this week's guest striker alongside Reilly. Dumbarton 2 - ? Pars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 The stand side linesman is possibly the worst official we've seen all season and that's saying something. This already looks like two poor teams where a mistake will lead to the winner in a scrappy encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
