SandyCromarty Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 By all accounts we were poor yesterday yet I am not surprised, the games we had against part timers Peterhead and Cove in the League Cup highlighted how we struggled when pressed and challenged for every ball and Neilson also saw this in the Dundee game. Some posters dismissed the League Cup games as meaningless, shite and pre season and then enthused over a North of Scotland game against Lossiemouth who finished second bottom in the HL last season? My point is that all competitive games regardless of which competition are important and we should have learned from the LC games and took the lessons learned into the league season, clearly we didn't and now we will probably have a lack of confidence into the next couple of games. As for Shankland scoring four, fer feck's sake it wasn't as if he is some unknown quantity to us as how many times did we play AU last season? we should have had him covered, it's likely he would scored, but for him to score four is taking the piss on our part??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don’t think you’ll find any posters who enthused over the Lossiemouth win. The League Cup games are effectively pre-season and won’t tell us how our season is going to go, and neither will a loss away to the best side in the league by a distance. That’s Shaun/Mahonio levels of jumping the gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 We played at least 10 pre season games before the League Cup games. How the LC games can be classed as pre season with a total purse of well over £2 million is beyond me. As I mentioned it is more than clear that our struggles in the LC against two part time teams led to the defeat yesterday. Had you forgotten that East Fife beat "the best team in the League" 2-0 the week before at Tannadice and Shankland played the full 90 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one year we actually got through the group stage was under Foran and that included putting five past Dunfermline and seven past Arbroath. We didn't carry that form into the league... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't carry that form into the league...The League Cup form has pretty much always translated into the opposite for us in the League season. The only season we actually got through was our worst season of the 4. You see that stuff all the time. Dundee United were pretty terrible in the LC and got eliminated at the group stage in poorer fashion than ourselves, but apprently the LC is why we lost to them. The comment about the Lossie game is also bizarre, I posted about it to update people on some of our youngsters and wasn’t ‘enthused’ at all nor did I take it as an indicator of how our season would go. I don’t think anybody did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Tarmo Kink Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I didn’t realise we’d sent Daniel Mackay and Daniel Hoban on loan to Elgin until January. MacKay played 85 minutes yesterday and Hoban was an unused sub. Hopefully MacKay can come back in Jan and break into our team. He needs to play right now after his injury so it’s not a bad move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Daniel Mackay won’t make it at Caley. He will be released when his contract is up and will end up back at Elgin or bouncing around the Highland League.MacGregor and Machedo are much better than him.Quite happy for this to bite me in the arse in a few years time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I’d agree re MacKay but I still think he’s got a future here even if he is technically inferior to the other two. The energy he brings to games is incredible and he has changed quite a few games for us including the Irn-Bru Cup final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Dearie me, Daniel Mackay, 25 games for the club, youngest ever goalscorer for us, scored for the Scottish Schoolboys against England, played for the Scottish under 19's, and thought so highly by John Robertson and the club that he was given a 3 year deal in March of this year. And now he's excess baggage? Roddy McGregor is a good player and one for our future, but IMHO Machado is still very light and can be easily dispossessed on the ball in games I've seen him in, BUT as far as I know he has never played at a senior league or cup level to my knowledge and that as they say is a whole different ball game Edited August 12, 2019 by SandyCromarty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
