Loemba90 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thought it was a better watch than our last 3 0-0’s but we’re still not creating much. Sporle will hopefully keep his place, he at least tries to beat his man now and again. Not sure about Fuchs, think he’ll need a few games to get going. Defence mostly decent. Penalties decent apart from Connolly who we all knew would balloon it over the bar. Anyway, assume 8 points won’t be enough so we’re probably out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Sounds like the match was a bit more encouraging tonight. Is that United pretty much out of this competition then? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Watched the match tonight. I thought that Fuchs looks like a player who has been brought to the club on a doctored You Tube video. McMullen was excellent at getting the ball and running with it, but unfortunately he has absolutely nothing after that. I enjoyed the match though, mainly because of the multitude of errors throughout the game. Edited November 10, 2020 by kingjoey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 After last night’s performance both McMullan and Sporle should be starting our next game. Ideally in a 4-4-2 but even if we keep the same formation. Pawlett shouldn’t be anywhere near the team based on recent performances. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuchs defo needs a few games to get upto match speed, but I'm cautiously optimistic on first showing that he will develop into a good player for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 People criticising Mark Connolly for taking a penalty can piss off. Maybe only five players volunteered, of which he was one. You have no idea. At least he had the balls to take one, as abysmal a penalty as it was. Anyway. It was a bit of an improvement last night, despite the scoreline. McMullan and Sporle made a difference. There was intent, but a woeful lack of quality. I liked the look of Fuchs, but he was nowhere near fit. The damage was not done last night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Speaks volumes that penalties three and four were taken by centre halfs. Seems the recent goal drought is affecting the confidence of those expected to chip in with at least some goals over the course of the season It worked out in the end, and it all honesty it doesn't exactly matter that much, but I thought it bizarre to leave our main penalty taker as number five. Usually he goes first, in an effort to get 'one-on-the-board" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentino Bolognese Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Your backup keeper (based only on last night to be fair) looks as good as, or better than, most starting keepers in this league. If you can get decent money for Siegrist I'd take it now tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question of January or the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm criticising the walloper who thought it was a good idea to let him. Mattered fcuk all last night, but would you be quite so calm about it if it was a meaningful game? If Smith, Bolton, Appere or even Butcher didn't fancy their chances ahead of Connolly, that's a worry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a cup final, I would be quite tempted to sub him on at the 119' minute mark though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Connolly taking a penalty was probably his own decision, he thinks he has more ability than is apparent to everyone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Nah Connolly taking a pen was crass stupidity. What made it even more worse is that he had before that had a very decent game, one of his best in his time at the club (and that's saying something). He's really shot himself in the foot by blootering it the way he did. Glad I switched off before the pens were taken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 He's a professional football player. If they don't have the ability or belief to hit the target in an empty stadium during a glorified friendly then they really shouldn't be getting paid to be a professional player. I'd be questioning the players not taking them way before the ones who did. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Why has Mehmet never had a chance with you lot? I get that Siegrist is superior - but did he not have a terrible start after you signed him and Rajkovic (?) I know that he also had an injury at one point, but 6 appearances in 3 year and you released him for a bit for him to play for QotS? Wish we had your luck with quality keepers as of late! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Mehmet was injured when we had Rakovan. Siegrist took a bit of time to settle in and gain confidence - we tried both at the start of the season they were signed. Rakovan was utter shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
