MattyAitkenSuperFan Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hope the new lad does well, should never have let Aitken go. Skelly doesn't bring near as much to the squad as Matty did so hopefully Mutale can help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishLoon Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Absolutely shocking second half. Big lesson of how important squad depth is when you look at Dumbarton. Edited August 19, 2023 by ScottishLoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon From Outta Toon Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Just goes to show our squad is nowhere near good enough to be challenging for the title. The football on display when it matters in the league is absolutely dire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishLoon Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Mentality looks like a big problem, after they got that bizarre first goal we completely collapsed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loon From Outta Toon Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 2 points worse of from this time last season already…. arguably a lesser squad also. Defence looks better than last seasons. That’s all. Up front we offer absolutely nothing, we’ve got no wide men to take someone on. Thommo can do so but he’s not playing for some weird reason. The way things are going I’m beginning to miss both Gary’s….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way things are going I’m beginning to miss both Gary’s….. It's too early to be listing off definitive statements like that. My main worry is just how similar games are going compared to last season like how when we don't score goals during a good patch in the first half we rarely score at all, or if we do get a goal we then completely go passive and then invite pressure like we need to concede a goal to get going again. Its a complete reflection of the manager when a team is falling into to the same passive routines, how many times have we seen 10-15 minutes of energy in a half where we can score 1 or 2 and then 30 minutes of slow struggling to get the ball through the midfield nothingness where we then resort to punting it up to guys who are 5'9 at most. Even Elgin last week were using their midfield a lot better and getting loads of space around the edge of our box, yet we seem to struggle to get on the ball in midfield, have players in space or get past the halfway line without it being a second ball/throw in from a big punt to nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty pessimistic of it tbh. last season they had our number and we couldn't beat them, this season they've recruited better and look fitter. I'm looking at it as a big game for ray, he might need to start rethinking/evolving what we're doing with how we setup and the in-game management before things start to go like last season where we're too stubborn to change things up and accept mediocrity.

Dumbarton could've been a lesson to him. They totally changed tactic, formation and personnel at HT and it worked a treat and they went on to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formation can be tweaked though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We set up far too negative ad have zero creativity coming through midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
