I'm amazed we got anything out of that game. Has to be seen as a positive. As above, the lack of balance in midfield is I think key to our issues. Like Hendry, Spencer was good at dropping in when the full backs push on. Stanton is a good player but he's not a like for like dropping in for Brad Spencer. It also doesn't help that Liam Dick is a fraction of the player Keiran McDonald was for us last season. There is still a faint hope that we might make the play offs, and we still have Thistle to play. Need to urgently put some wins on the board now, however. Seems likely we will stick with the two up front now, Poplatnik is like a brand new player all of a sudden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t know why?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 The football gods giveth and they taketh away. Went up there with no hope of winning that game and feared the worst at 1 down after 90 seconds. But we done well enough to get back in to it. Going 2 and then 3 up was a great feeling, but at the back of my mind was the soft goals we have given away so far this season. All season long we haven’t dealt with set pieces, crosses or long balls in particular and that was our undoing again. Definitely an opportunity missed to pull level with partick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I find it very unlikely that Lafferty would have signed for any other club in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a team, we’re a squad big difference. 5 hours ago, baillieinleeds said: Oh dear, it’s a case of how many we lose. Seriously mate, how can you go from this pre match and after 60 seconds to then raging at the team and manager for only getting a point? Yeah, it’s frustrating to throw away a lead but we were playing a 5th choice centre back and a left back in the middle of defence, given the defence it was entirely reasonable to expect they would still struggle to hold out, even with a lead, against the top scorers in the league and a side that haven’t lost at home since the opening day of the season. A point is a good result in the circumstances. I’m all for constructive criticism and the manager deserves to come under scrutiny given our run since December but you can’t be that negative pre match about our chances and then state after the game that you think a draw isn’t a good result, it just comes across as over the top and needless negativity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
