Thank you. Would other teams not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pens_Dark Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 We were worth at least a point. Unlucky not to get all three. I thought we played some excellent football, McCowan and Cameron the stand outs. Ashcroft just simply not cut out for this level and we need another midfielder or two in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashcroft was fine...i felt he was unlucky with the goal as the ball just died the minute it hit the pitch...he was obviously expecting a bit of bounce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conditions meant that could happen to anyone...almost did with Shaugnessy later in the game. I just think overall he isn't cut out for this level. Would provide decent enough cover for injuries etc but not a starter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have memories of him getting ragdolled at East End Park in a 3 on opening day about 4 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 6, I think, new recruits in the starting line up and we did fine against a very seasoned Prem outfit. I think we’ll get better. We have some good players, we look very fit and have a manager who appears to know what he’s doing, down to earth, nothing fancy or bonkers. We look way better than the last time we came up and I reckon we’ll get better. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put himself about and got involved in the play. Wilkinson on the other hand was posted missing for long spells. Didn't learn much more than that. Full backs are still an issue and the attacking quality they can provide is not good enough. Souare was not impressive in any way and O'Donnell wasted a lot of good chances to put in a telling ball. I'm going to have to disagree with that. As much as I thoroughly enjoyed Theo getting his goal (and he really finished very well), he spent the rest of the game looking like some bloke who'd played 5-a-side all the time, and suddenly found himself on a big pitch playing proper football. Fish out of water. Good luck to him though, if he can take confidence from the goal then maybe he can push on. The rest of the team looked fairly competent, and it wasn't the eye-bleeding shite we had to put up with under GA and (to a lesser extent, but with equally shitey results) Hammy. Like you I thought Bazooka Joe looked decent in his short time on the pitch. Roll on the next match, plenty of time for things to improve! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bair is a big unit but he looked slow and pretty limited to me. That said guys have done a decent job just like him, so who knows. One of us teams should have gambled on Akinyemi, way better than our big lump or yours imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our back 3 was McGhee, Forster, and Meekings. Forster and Meekings were honking, JM got subbed at half-time and we switched to a four. Agree with the general view though. He's no an outright bad player, just a wee bit leaden-footed and ponderous for this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was thinking of Forster’s performance and confused him with Ashcroft somehow, aye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think Shaughnessy looked brilliant either but the conditions were shite. Hopefully Portales and the young lad from Forest are better than Ashcroft and we can call upon him through injuries etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Seeing the Miller strike on sportscene, how can you give that as a goal kick?? It was about to go in potentially?? Screen_Recording_20230806_075227_BBC iPlayer.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldnt have made any difference to the result, as we didnt get the better of the Dundee defence at set pieces all game, but how the referee or indeed his linesman cant see the change of direction of that ball is a mystery! We will gloss over Caseys pit-a-pat with the ball in Kellys hands though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
