Brashy's Boots Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 What exactly happened to Musonda? Did he lose a leg and we're waiting for him to grow a new one? Seems he's been out since 1998 and we sure could do with some more bodies around the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate brs but he did break up the game by generally being clumsy and just getting in everyone's way. You can see why Mcglynn hasn’t committed to an extended contract yet but I think he is definitely worth a punt until the end of the season, come January we could be short of a few and it’s a hard market to pick up decent players in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 We never do things the easy way but regardless of how it arrived, that was an excellent win. Wasn’t confident when Bene stepped up but a great penalty from him. Zanatta was excellent once again although I think with McCall knowing him, he was targeted a bit more defensively today and found wanting in that aspect at times. His attacking work was very good though. Huge Hamilton flashbacks for all involved those last 5/10 minutes. Don’t think McGlynn’s subs helped. However, you should be comfortable bringing on youngsters with 10 minutes to go when you’re 3 up. That brief couple of minutes possession when we calmed down and showed a bit of composure on the ball around the 89th ultimately got us over the line. If that second goal had come any earlier… Hopefully that exorcises the Hamilton demons that we did ultimately get the job done this time. If I’m being kind it was slightly different circumstances this time given Thistle were always in the game and 3-0 flattered us greatly, also a touch of us running out of legs after a tough shift on Thursday. Last 5 minutes takes the shine off slightly but in terms of result, it’s a great start to an important week. I think we will ultimately end up in a bit of no man’s land this season. Too much about us to be involved at the bottom end but not good enough for promotion play offs. In saying that, I’ve not seen anything in this league yet that has impressed me but we have 2 of the top 3 still to play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll worry about that another day though, all in all, a good laugh. I think we lose structure and a bit of calmness in midfield when Spencer goes off - due to his spotty fitness and BRS as our only midfield sub it tends then not to look to good for BRS since he replaces Spencer and therefore we always look weaker when BRS is subbed on. At the same time, Tait was awful today. Everytime he got the ball he was closed down and bodied off of it. Just not at the races at all. We have two consistent midfielders in Spencer and Matthews, but our system really has a Vuaghan shaped hole in it. Connolly works extremely hard and has a good range and vision on his crossing and passing but you can see him looking for the number 10 arriving late and it just isn't happening. Keatings should have been that guy but he is apparently a terrible physical specimen. Centre forward position is weak. Was Mitchell getting game time a test to see what his readiness was like, or was it McGlynn repeating his "play Mckay up front" ploy to demonstrate to the board that we are short. I don't know if we are a good team or not. We look like a mis firing engine. Occasionally the timing gets right and we rev into life and look great before lapsing back into wheezing and banging and sparks all over the place. Zanatta has been immense so far. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll worry about that another day though, all in all, a good laugh. I felt today, we looked far less one dimensional than in our other wins against Ayr and Morton. Zanatta obviously did brilliantly with his goal, but Connolly also adds quite a bit to the team creatively and can be a nuisance. I think he'll come good over the course of the season. Varian's excellent at winning the ball in the air but often it comes to nothing due to our style of play. All our problems today seemed to be down to our inconsistencies in the middle. If there's one area today where I felt were deserve credit is how many chances we created in the final 3rd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Delighted to hold on and get the win. Up to 4th with a game in hand. Happy with that. Beat Dunfermline on Wednesday and it will have been an excellent start to the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, without like for like options on the bench we won't trouble the top of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
