Monkey Tennis Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Probably not. You would think if they did, something would have been done long before now to stop the same things that have been happening since August. In terms of late goals, we are the inverse Manchester United. I just think it's interesting. In most managerial positions these days, people are required to study results, detect patterns and attempt to address areas of weakness. To use our situation as an example, I just wonder if there's no real recognition of the patterns, or if so far futile attempts have actually been made to tackle what's going on. There's always the suspicion that lots of 'football men' scoff at such approaches, preferring to trust their instincts and prejudices. I don't know if such a suspicion is unfair, either generally, or with particular regard to us, just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While would imagine that the "new breed" of managers, probably use technology and statistical analysis, I doubt the old school do. I didn't get my stats from there. Not even sure they go into that level of detail. Phew. Faith restored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It's even worse when you see it in black and white, hopefully Kevin Smith returns to partner big Same soon. Do you think these two will be a good partnership or are they to alike? At the moment we are playing with a target man and a movement player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos1990 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Kevin smith was crying out for a partner like parkin at start of season, sooner he is back the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Are we thinking of the same Kevin Smith? He has decent movement and is not a target man. Just a genuine question, looking for a debate. Smith was the one man striker/target man in a lot of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Do you think these two will be a good partnership or are they to alike? At the moment we are playing with a target man and a movement player. Both Parkin and Smith lack pace, but that shouldn't matter too much if we have this quality elsewhere in the team (mainly Carmichael and Clark, with Reilly to come off the bench and hopefully Orsi will be back soon). I think a Smith/Parkin partnership would work well as both are clever footballers. I'd expect Smith to drop deep at times while Parkin would be the more convential target man. What we lack is a box to box central midfielder (the sort of role Willie Gibson performed so well for Falkirk against us). We have some options in wide areas, creativity through Johnston and an effective holding player in McKenna. Our nearest equivalent to the box to box player is McLaughlin, but he's quite limited. Fair enough, he has scored a few goals this season. As for Simmons, what the hell does he do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Don't think Orsi will be back in first team squad anytime soon watched him last night in reserve match and personally don't think he is any better than what we already have in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only to be expected that he has some way to go to regain match fitness, but he showed real promise last season. Even if he's just available to come off the bench in the final 5 or 6 games of the season, it'd be better than nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Who Is he to replace in the squad. Must say I thought young Holt looked the part last night and he never let the management down when he played in the 1st team I think he has been rather hard done to in that regard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say I thought young Holt looked the part last night and he never let the management down when he played in the 1st team I think he has been rather hard done to in that regard. Holt played well, as did the number 5 Hooper don't think he missed a thing. Orsi looked really low in confidence last night, maybe just due to frustration as nothing was coming off for him, certainly hasn't lost his pace, only his second game back, be very surprised to see him play for first team this season. Wee Gavin and Smilie also played pretty well upfront. The number 8 Slattery impressed me in other games but didn't last night, but never hides unlike McShane who seems to be the Simmons of that team. The young number 2 Handling i think also played pretty well, heard it was his first game in a while also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkyblue2 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Genuine question: Do you think Gus and Andy (or any management teams at this level) indulge in this kind of breakdown and analysis of results? Wish the BOD had before coming out with their drivel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRS LEFT PEG Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 You are spot on mate, we need to win, simple as. We have a 5 and 7 point deficit against our nearest relegation rivals and games are running out . If we can't defeat Raith , at home as well, then you have to ask where these precious three points are going to come from. I am hoping for a passionate performance at least. Raith will be happy to avoid defeat and I feel they will leave with a point at least ,sealing the lid on a miserable season. TO THE PLAYERS - Come on and prove me wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PALMYLAD Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We can't afford anything else but 3 points today . It's not going to be easy though . Let's hope for a performance similar to the one the team produced against Aberdeen in the 2nd half . A home win & Simmons sitting on the bench will make JRSLEFTPEG's birthday complete 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Pleased to see that Gavin got his first goal for you, I’m sure there will be more to follow. Good luck with your fight for survival. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It was actually his second goal - his first was last season in the League Cup v Dumbarton. Everyone seems to have forgotten that one. A couple of different people said to me on Saturday that it was a great way for Gavin to get his first senior goal. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
