GaryMc93 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 For me it feels at the minute Dipo is trying too hard at times and overthinking things when he gets the ball. Does seem like the type to put a lot of pressure on himself. Shown enough quality this season to believe it's only a blip. A game where he sticks to the 18 yard box and we get crosses will get him back on the goal trail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideline banter Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Once murdoch and musonda are back in the team and maguire is match fit can see us going on a good run. Hopefully no injuries now till end of season but highly doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musonda returning as well. I'm still annoyed at O'Connor getting substituted Maguire needs time and fitness. Dipo was very unlucky at the end there, hopefully he'll pick up as I've my fingers crossed for a goal against Inverness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Inverness at home, then Morton, Hamilton and Dundee away is a brutal run and even if we do improve could see us outside the play offs after it… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The sort of game that you’d switch off if your team wasn’t playing. Draw was the right result - we had the better chances but Raith had probably more although wanted to get three points from most of them. Amazed no-one pointed out McDonald was off his line when the pen was taken - you need to have a foot on the line. Dipo won nearly every ball played to him but then managed to lose it far too easily and his finishing was shocking - two very easy chances and hit the target with neither. Confident he’ll come good again but we need it sooner rather than later. McGinty strolled his way through the game and was MoM for me with Kirk also oozing class. Mullen disappointing but McAleer coming onto a game and Maguire while clearly carrying a fair bit of timber obviously has more than enough class to deliver at this level while getting back to full fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s down to limited defenders like McGinty, McAllister and Reading who pump it long because they can’t think of an alternative. Fwiw the direct approach was fine tonight and nearly got us 3 points if Dipo had his boots on the right feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Absolutely hated McAlear for a bit but he's coming on to a game and played some clever passes, coupled with an obvious ability to take set pieces. Maguire looks as you would imagine, clearly not match fit but oozes class and helped us retain the ball when he came on. Still no idea why we go route one so often, the difference in movement between the teams was stark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on that's why it goes long so much, that's not a criticism of all 3 who I thought did well tonight ,also only 2 in midfield makes it appealing to go long under pressure. Draw is a decent result away against a good football side in good form, much improved from Saturday's shit show. Dipo will get back on it,Murdoch, Musonda will return shortly, McAlear is now getting there as hopefully will Maguire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Reading looked pretty good tonight, Few forward runs and attempted crosses. McGinty did well from the back, clearly has a good relationship with Akinyemi. McAllister sometimes gives me the shiters though. He's a great defender on his day, though recently he's had a few bombscare moments. The hand ball (wouldn't have said it was, played him but of course, Leanne Crichton knows best ) and a few wrestling move like tackles He's not a bad defender, just needs to ease off the aggression me thinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Based on what I saw which was limited in the pub but I thought we should have won that big improvement throughout the team from previous. We can only get better with Maguire and Musonda and Murdoch to come in, good to get some good players back for these big games coming up. Don’t get the boy McGuire is carrying timber not what I saw on Tuesday he looked in good shape to me for a guy been out for 6 months . The amount of people who were asking me who is playing in Ayr really annoys me long way to go to build up the support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Well that was pish. A point is better than many were predicting though. Dipo is going through a bad patch but he started the season the same way and came good. Maguire looked short of match fitness but I think he has more about him than Kyle/Beattie did to be an absolute flop signing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
