GAD Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 8 hours ago, C_titz said: We were dreadful today , probably because of the standard of opposition . Arbroath must have been horrendous I think maybe the Forfar manager just ended up overthinking things yesterday. Usually lower league teams cause us serious problems by keeping a solid back 4/5 and in front of them another solid 4/5 with a striker running the channels up front. They get the ball forward quickly, let us have the ball in our own half.and frustrate us. Forfar didn't really do that, they sort of tried to be defensive but without the midfeild and tried to play out from the back as well, which caused them problems. I think you showed enough though in the other 3 games to suggest this was a bit of a one off and you can have a really good season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Interesting to read the Motherwell manager complaining that the referee blew up on 90 minutes in their game despite a 3 minute injury stoppage and multiple substitutions. Noticed the same thing happened with us. Glorified preseason friendlies right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Didn't realise Mandron was such a large lad. I knew he was tall, but not quite that tall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insaintee Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Overall I thought we were good. First half was strangely dull considering we scored four goals. A little nervy at first then settled after a straightforward goal from a corner. Forfar got no Joy from our back three with Taylor in particular looking very good. (might have pipped Strain for MoM for me). The midfield looked a bit flat with Baccus very quiet. Mandron totally bullying the Forfar defence. Still four goals is four goals. Second half was a better watch, even if the only real question was if we would get a fifth (spoiler alert - we never). But We seemed to be able to conjure chances and played well with Baccus stepping up and looking the part. Up front we missed a number of good chances. Not quite sure what to make of the front three. They were certainly good in parts. Credit to Forfar, second half they stuck with it and worked their socks off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Thanks for posting. Hadn’t seen the goals yet. Particularly enjoyed the Gogic thunderbolt into the postage stamp corner. No goalie saves those. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, the big guy scored two, but come on. No need for that. Reported for being a boo boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Tanser was excellent yesterday, he gets a lot of stick but he’s a good footballer, really tidy on the ball and technically very good. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He improved vastly after Small came in on loan to give him a bit of competition/rest. Wing backs the hardest shift on the pitch. Especially with the way we play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defending has got better and if we are on the front foot in games Tanser’s passing and crossing is generally excellent most of the time, I’m more than happy to have him start at wing back this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think against similar opposition in the league we’ll do just fine this season. Okay I’ve changed my mind I have watched it back. The second goal was decent… it wasn’t the chance that I thought .

We played a lot of wee triangles, and a couple of passes seemed to allow us to break into acres of space. I thought Forfar were decent on the ball without really threatening. The one that came off the bar in the second half, I couldn't work out if it was lucky or unlucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
