19QOS19 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hamilton must never play left wing again. Feel for the lad. But he's wasted out there. Don't care how we structure that midfield, most of time we bypass it with punted balls anyway, but let's try two up but let's go with Dobbie and Hamilton.Don't worry I'm sure Petra's clearance will be through next week and he can take the role of "poor sod who is expected to take down every single high ball booted at him and magically create something". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 As bad as things look, let’s see what happens when everyone’s one fit and we can get the new boys in. Surely he won’t once Petra’s fit? Pretty sure today’s selection was dictated by the international clearances and other players not being fully fit. We need to keep the faith. Have you been attending these games m8 or just reading reports? It's a young lad and Petra from the worst Falkirk side in history we have to come in. I think you're going to be majorly disappointed if you expect these two to suddenly turn us from utter shite to good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Don't worry I'm sure Petra's clearance will be through next week and he can take the role of "poor sod who is expected to take down every single high ball booted at him and magically create something". Says a lot when of the few players who seemed prepared to put foot on ball and try and find a man were Wilson and Devine, our centre halves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priti priti priti Patel Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Just now, Mr X said: The evidence is all there. He didnt play at the start of the season because he wasnt fit. He didnt play after that because he wasnt fit. He came back into the team and look, er, unfit - different, but basically the same. He now isnt playing because he isnt fit. Im sorry, but anyone who saw the Ayr game could see that isnt true. He might not be injured but he clearly isnt fit Right, so neither of us really know. I don't think he looked "basically the same" at Dundee United as compared with Ayr. He was clearly fitter and performing much better v Ayr. A similar number of weeks have passed so actually, taking your approach and assuming there's a linear trajectory, he would be even fitter now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 AJ is capable when he can outspend everyone else and get an attacking 442 side with wingers.In terms of defence and organisation hes a joke. We had a great side and chucked away the playoffs from a winning position.Tactically hes out of his depth at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The far more likely reason he's on the bench is that he's fully fit and AJ just doesnt play him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 If Semple hadn't put in a MotM performance against Ayr then I'd understand him being benched. Has his fitness seriously not improved since then? Why is he even on the bench if he's not going to be used? Even at 3-2 he should have been on and Wilson moved into the middle. If he isn't fit enough for 10 minutes he shouldn't be at the club let alone the bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Regardless, if we were actually informed as fans what the deal is with players then we wouldn't need to speculate and bicker between ourselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To suggest Ayr werent in the game and that it was down to Semple is simply wrong, Im afraid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Yass. was sure we were going to lose at 2-2 with our players getting more and more frustrated at an inept referee. This guy is a lower league ref who seems to randomly get the odd championship match despite being nowhere near competent. Some absolutely incredible decisions. He was regularly within 5 yards with a clear view of 2 handed shoves happening from both sets of players and not taking any action. Getting easy throw in decisions wrong etc, then seemed surprised that he got stick for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
