houston_bud Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 There wasn't a bad performance in our team today and a few standouts. Scott still looks a bit short of fitness but I thought he did well. Kwon and Bwomono were both excellent. Marcus Fraser deserves a mention, as he's been playing left side of the back three and still churning out his usual solid performances. Caveat everything by saying that Hibs are an absolute gang, but a very good showing from an under strength side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's Strain's backup until next season and from what we've seen he will deputise just fine and be a decent replacement. Since Strain is normally knacked around the 70mins make, Elvis will be a good sub for him and i expect he will still get mins on the pitch most games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By City clubs I meant Aberdeen, Hertz & Hibs - Dundee are diddies like ourselves. Spotty for the confusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser must be a managers dream, turns up does the job as a solid 6 out 10 and arguably higher most weeks, causes no hassle and gets on with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a 7/10 most wks. He does the boring stuff like reading the game so well that it seems his task is easy. Occasionally he's an 8/10 and occasionally he makes a mistake. I remember RC fans telling us he was rubbish at CB. He's fab in a back 3. Consistent, reliable and fit. Real professional. Along with Goga and Bolton, so impressive defensively and even when Dunne or Taylor play, still damn good. We don't have a big squad, but definitely the best we've had for many years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Was going to post saying we don't need to worry about Aberdeen (or Hibs...) nicking our manager any time soon due to their arrogance and snobbery and thinking they're our betters in footballing terms - then saw this retweeted by Langfield. Who cares about old fashioned stuff like goals, points and wins when you can look at how many shots a team has had and how many of their goals have been scored by the opposition? Thankfully for us the folk running Aberdeen (DATA) and Hibs seem far more bothered about data bullshit like this than using their eyes to see whose team is doing well. It's not as if we're achieving it with Gus-style football either that makes the eyes bleed. Our players are well drilled and work their arses off - it might not be Pep-era Barca stuff but I'd far rather have that and get wins than be 5th in passing accuracy but 10th in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I rate Strain as a full back , I don't think he will walk straight into the first team . It will take him a few matches to get match ready , then he has to prove he,s a better option than Elvis who will improve week on week . Great problem to have . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad he cleared up that the OGs in our goals for column were scored by opposition players and not our own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medals Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Never mind that nonsense, we win our next 2 league games and we're back in 4th. (Pulling away from Hibs, Dons, and Dee) Need to be on it from the 1st kick and keep McCowan, Cameron and Mellon quiet. And remind our players they bottle it over 90 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhame Buddie Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I wonder why Gogic isn’t the team captain. He consistently delivers a minimum of 8/10 and every week he can be seen motivating and encouraging the rest of the team. A natural leader. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildjian Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) First time poster on the ol' forum! Hope everyone had a good weekend after that belter of a result against hibs. Love big Gogic. Surely a contender for player of the season at this rate? To me he is one of the key players of the squad we need to ensure we have on a decent length contract. Some big decisions for Robbo coming up for the Dundee match. Kwon & Boyd-Munce played well (perhaps the good thing about having competition for places coming up). But do you change any of them two for O'hara or Baccus? Massive run of league fixtures coming up: dundee, livi, st johnstone, Ross county. On face value looking at league positions, these are the easier run of matches. However, most of these teams have taken points of us also only a few months ago.

saintmurn Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 If we're playing just two in the middle of the park then I'd stick with Kwon and CBM but if we're going with three in there (I prefer this as it means we're more likely to control the midfield) then I'd add Baccus. Harsh on the captain I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think we'll stick with the lineup. Can't see Baccus being thrown back in straight away. And if you go three in the middle, who are you dropping up front? Kiltie's been arguably our most in form player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
