Diamonds on the Windshield Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I still think Gabby has goals in him and something to prove. Get him in the box instead of stuck out on the right. We know he can find the net and that is why we were all keen to have him re-sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it won't work like yesterday. Learn from it and move on Hopefully Telfer is fit next week and I think we should have another go with the back 5. Megwa is better on the right and Mason came through the game after his injury ok so get him back at wing back. He was the one driving forward yesterday. Janny needs be more central and hang back as he is usually fast enough to cover back if they break. Rae Megwa Janny McCabe Fordyce Hancock Telfer McMaster Frizz CalGal McStravick Called it. Glad to see McCabe can take advice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems good news on the injury front with Telfer & McCabe starting and McGregor on the bench. I won't be surprised to see Megwa up against Chalmers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb_diamond Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 We're deep in trouble now, I know that Rhys hasn't really been renown for having a plan B but he's going to need to find one as teams have absolutely worked out plan A and it isn't going to work any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 It's a game of inches Frizzell hits the bar with a cracking drive ( looked like it) a minute later goal down, another unmarked player from a corner, remember Partick identical... We had chances but I will be honest we lacked commitment when it mattered, Ayr defenders were willing to go in where it hurts to clear the wall in front of our players, McStravick is a waste of a jersey, he does nothing and is knowhere near ready, Hancock has the ability to play wingback, which means we could maybe play 2 up, McCabe was moaning at Todorov at the end , he was on for 10 minutes max, give the guy a fair chance FFS... Let's not sugarcoat this, we will probably be bottom by new year, we need a new approach, with more commitment we could easily have got something out of the Partick, Dunfermline and today's game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_m Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 The problem is we're too reliant on Gallagher, no one else looks like scoring. And someone really has to tell me what Dean McMaster brings to the side, virtually zero contribution going forward, can't beat a man, can't shoot, can't header and virtually 90% passes going backwards. Absolute imposter! Also add McStravick to that he's not yet good enough at this level and needs to gain experience, probably why Linfield let him go. Missing Aiken and Ballantyne big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he the wee winger on the left? Thought he was your best player in the first half, looked really eager to take on the full back and create chances, although was more quiet in the second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he was pretty poor by his standards as he has a much bigger impact most games. However, shouts that he’s ‘a waste of a jersey’ are very reactionary and miles off it imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ball retention is dreadful, he's an impact sub at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond1924 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 This all links back to McCabes stubbornness and reluctance to adapt our team to the championship. He should have signed at least 3 championship-level players back in the summer but he didn’t. He went for unproven youngsters in Aiken, O’Connor, McStravick, G. Gallagher. Only one of those signings has come good. The others being a total waste of a wage and jersey. You do not use the clubs first season back in the championship to ‘develop’ or ‘test’ out young players because it’s left if with absolutely no options coming off the bench. We are a team full of league one players trying to pass our way around the championship against physical and direct teams who have sussed us right out. Todorov can also go, he is rotten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is we have a lightweight threadbare squad playing in a league with far stronger physical teams. We are only comfortable (at times) in our own third and recently all we are doing is wasting time when we are losing. McCabe wants 11 players on the park who are comfortable on the ball….I can only assume he has yet to find them. A couple of shrewd loan signings in January coupled with the return of Aitken and Ballantyne might turn things around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his fault, our budget dictates the level of player we sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
