Twinkle Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Better tonight. I think we pressed them higher up the park which forced them into numerous errors. Another good shift from Watt and im delighted thats him off and running in the goals with us now. Not a huge fan of Mcnulty but thought he did reasonably well at linking the play. You could see theres a player in Mcdonald but hes going to need about half a dozen games to get up to speed. Graham was excellent again at the back, hes growing into a cracking player. The only thing that pissed me off tonight was Benji. Im not sure what is going on with his decision making but he nearly cost us two goals. This 'pushing the ball out to the side' bullshit needs knocked right on the head. Cost us at Killie and against Ross County and nearly cost us again tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appeared to me that he got a touch on the first minute strike that cannoned off the crossbar - could've been a very different game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either get plenty on it or catch the fucking thing. Dont be parrying it a couple of yards to the side. In fact, id rather he put these out for corners and let us defend them than continuing to do that shite. Ps if he has got a touch on that early shot, its a fantastic save 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he could/should get more on it, but of all our players I'm loath to criticise the one that's been consistently good for us these last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Tried to get forward and score goals tonight which was the main difference. Nothing world beating but a massive improvement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not keen on criticising him cos hes arguably been our best player in the last two seasons. Id say this thing hes doing has only crept into his play in the last couple of months. No idea where its came from 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Gotta echo the sentiments from others here. What a wee player Graham is turning out to be. For his age he's fantastic. Fifers must be mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Much better tonight. Thought McDonald was excellent, and having a tall player in midfield brings a bit of physicality to our rather nimble lot. Also though Harkes was very good - my motm which is surprising given he is "shit" - perhaps having McDonald there helped Harkes out. Can only echo what others have said about Graham. Don't think he should be dropped upon Mulgrew's return 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Once he’s up to speed Kevin Thompson will be a cracking player for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannadeechee Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Tonight, while not being perfect, was a massive improvement over what's has been served up recently. We moved the ball quicker, we went forward with purpose. I thought Niskanen was good. You could see what he brings when given the chance to run at the opposition. Watt was good too, as was McDonald who seemed a calm influence in the centre of the park. I thought he allowed the others around him play. Graham though, for some one so young and after a torrid time at Dunfermline which could have knocked his confidence has been excellent recently. If we can keep the basis of tonights game in thr way we play going forward we should be OK. It certainly gives us something to build on & hopefully helps Courts see that we can take a game to the opposition and not be scared to attack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he get on as United's youngest ever player cos he's a genuine exciting talent, or just because they could? I first saw him about 10 years ago and even back then he was impressive. Great left foot, could ping a ball into the top bin of a full size goal even then. I know he’s played consistently a couple of years above his “proper” age group pretty much since the day he signed for United and always scored goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For his age he's fantastic. Fifers must be mental. Is he fantastic or has he just had a few good games? I'm being cautious with my expectation given how he performed at Dunfermline and also given he was behind (a much younger) Neilson in the pecking order until a few weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ach gie the laddy some credit he's performed well in some difficult games. Looks calm and composed and defends good for a guy his age. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Ross Graham had both belied my expectations and corroborated my deep seated mistrust of Fifers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
