Just watched the highlights stick on pen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sel0975 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I've watched alot of Talbot games over the past couple of seasons, home and away and I can count on one hand the number of stand out performances in either the league or cups but they often just about do enough to pick up the points/get through - alot of very poor 1st half performances followed by much better in the 2nd. Overall the style of football hasn't been great but the one consistent feature has been the reluctance of tucker to make subs earlier in games and sticking to the a very consistent starting line ups barring any injuries. A few areas of the team definatley need new blood including more attacking/creative in midfield and an out and out goal scorer. Aspects of the defence need tightened up and obviously the back up goalkeeper needs sorted. Unless I keep missing it we don't seem to be hearing anything from tucker or the management team after the majority of matches barr the odd sentence or two. I've still got my doubts about the clubs ambition to move up the leagues, the cups seem to often take priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugbyroader Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Talbot had a makeshift defence and that caused issues. Stafford has been playing full back rather than centre half and Taylor is lightweight for full back. The Beith penalty was soft but I think it was a penalty as Taylor pulled the player back. Talbot should have had a penalty in the last minute. Strain even said to the crowd it was a penalty. The Beith player fouls Taylor and then wins the ball. The second goal comes from a mix up between Stafford and Leishman. This is probably a result of Stafford not playing central defence frequently. Surprised that Ballantyne and Crawford didn’t get a game as they are both defenders. Talbot need a few players. They are lacking in defence, midfield and up front. They lack a bit of quality in these areas. They play the ball too frantically and the ball is in the air too much. Strange they play the ball in the air when they don’t have a target man. Boylan isn’t a target man and is played wide most of the time. Despite all of that I don’t think there was much between Beith and Talbot and a draw would have been a fair result. Talbot may not be as good as a few seasons ago but they matched Beith. I thought Talbot had a grip of the game in the last 20 mins but couldn’t get an equaliser. Beith had a spell of decent possession and passing just before this. Darvel have the best squad in terms of quality but they won’t win the league without others taking points off Beith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duraglit shareholder Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Clear penalty, Tucker faces massive rebuild, as some players not Talbot class, but would anybody bet against Tucker doing what he does best, building a team. How many times has he came through for us Talbot supporters, give him time, we will be back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it say about the club when they are looking unlikely to win the league in mid-April and it is labelled a crisis. It'll be fine.

southerner Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 We always look ok from about October to February when it’s usually 1 game a week, but that’s the last two seasons as soon as we are working through a backlog we hit bad form and drop points. Only 2 points at home in our last 4 league games tells you that. I know we look weak in certain positions but the biggest thing for me is we now lack a goal threat we are rarely scoring more than 1 goal a game. Big summer ahead to have a better challenge next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
