She who dares gins Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) I think it was said earlier on this thread but my frustration at the last two results basically stems from McGregor being injured, which has left an excellent player in Wilson completely isolated up front, and an injury to A Wilson completely knackering us at the back. We haven’t replaced what we lost in the pre-season, but two injuries shouldn’t result in us looking woeful at each end and conceding 11 goals. Yes we were unlucky with Graham and whatever happened there, but we probably needed another out and out quality CH this season even before Dycey left. We’ve gone into the league campaign with one.

A humping off free spending Ayr and Europe chasing Dundee? Not so much. No matter how much bigger and better Ayr and Dundees budgets are we shouldn’t be losing 5+ goals against them. We weren’t even competitive which is the most embarrassing thing. It’s a total farce that two injuries can virtually ruin a team. That’s on McCabe and the club in my opinion. Wages once again wasted on boys like Aaron Reid when they could have been better spent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May well be wrong, but pretty sure it's just 1 match in the same competition, so he'll be available next week.

Diamonds02 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Slightly baffled by the criticism for Aaron Reid. He’s not really had anything resembling a chance and he has great raw attributes. With some coaching and time to bed in he could be a real asset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Diamond For Me Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I've not seen enough from Reid to make a call one way or the other, but every team at this level is going have some filler in the squad. I've no idea what he's getting paid, but it's surely not big bucks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalForAirdrie Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) 2 heavy defeats and you’d think we’re back in the Wotherspoon era with the comments from some folk . A win against Queen’s Park on Saturday and we’ll be the best team in the world again . Just the way football is.

Nothing concrete on the comings and goings as of yet. I am led to believe Aiden had a slight niggle that was not worth risking and should be fine by Saturday. Really was a shame that Big Sam was not available but at the same time it maybe is better he gets another weeks training and starts against Queens Park for a debut. Saturday was a strange one, Horrible defeat and seems worse on the back of the 5-0 at Ayr, The goals conceded where all poor from us with the exception of the third which was a bit of quality from McCowan and Main. There was positives for us in this game, we started well and had some nice play and caused them a bit of trouble, the 2nd half we came out like a different team and I thought the 3 lads that came on did really well. Frizz was excellent on Saturday and put on a captains performance and that goal was the kind of grit and determination I love to see from a player in our shirt. Another harsh lesson for our young lads. Let's not paper over the cracks they now have a lot of pressure on them this Saturday and need to get a win and probably a convincing one at that to get the confidence up but more importantly ease the building tensions in the stands. I think we need to remember how far we have come in the past few years and not over react to a few heavy defeats from two teams we expect to be beating us. Ayr we looked like we could have played all day without getting a shot on target at Dundee I seen a bit more of the attacking threat we have and with a better final ball especially that 2nd half we could have upset them, That 3rd on the counter was the killer for me and came as a result of us pushing all out for a goal to get back into the game, Dundee are as difficult a team as we will face this year. I'll start to worry if we start losing heavily to teams like Queens Park, Falkirk, Hamilton and Dunfermline. Not saying we have a divine right to beat these teams but we should be going into games like that confident and if we are losing any of these games we certainly should not be seeing score lines like the past few weeks.
