Montrose v Clyde


Recommended Posts

Positives: we've kept the back third of the park crowded which has limited Montrose to a couple of chances; good chances mind. If you remember that conceding three will've loomed large in our minds, setting out in such a compressed shape and with such a conservative eleven makes a lot of sense. It'd have been a bold more with our squad to open the game up much more.

Negatives. Well, there's been a continuation of the inexperienced, timid and uncoordinated defending that's been a feature of the season so far. What that looks like is Livingstone making the contest between him and Webster harder than it has to be. The space available to Webster has been limited. Livingstone has given him opportunities by letting balls over his shoulder and behind him on the deck on the belief that he can get it under control and play out of trouble. He's done it a couple of times. But the other times he's let them in to score. It isn't Webster's skill that's troubling us. It's Livingstone's inexperience resembling arrogance at times. Lennon's been in his ear a lot. By that, Rumsby's got his headers landing half a yard in front of him and Balatoni and Munro have been guilty of playing Mo players onside needlessly once or twice.

But listen, we could get some pace on second half and nick one. It's not unthinkable.

What we should worry about is Petrie bringing Ballantyne on to reinforce the attack down the right. That'll be a lot rougher for us than just Webster with Allan behind him who is basically a centre back or more conservative full back.
