We're playing one fewer midfielder than we did the last time we were overrun through the middle here. True. Would probably sacrifice Vaughan or Easton to get Arnott in beside Stanton. For the little difference it'll make now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think Rovers have looked threatening going forward, and we’re shaky at the back but their defence look like they’ve never met each other before. I really, really like the look of McInroy - missed sitter aside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for a league opener he looks physically well up to scratch already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I thought the Rovers looked not bad going forward, we should have scored at least once. The defence has been rubbish though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanStarko Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 At least we can make use of our experienced bench to change things for the second half. Oh wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fair to say that 2-0 is not representative of the chances created and missed, but its the same old problem for the Rovers, easy to carve open in one box, impossible to carve opposition open in the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't start Arnott in a game where we need something in midfield, you'd have to wonder if there's any point in him being here tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Get Masson on at RB and Arnott beside Stanton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Horrendous at the back and need 12 chances to score. No change there then. Hamilton hasn’t got going yet and that first miss wasn’t far off an open goal. Feel like we can grab a couple but almost no confidence we’ll not concede more. Smell a red card for us also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Aside from the score, it’s been a cracking open game of football. Probably should be 6-4 not 2-0. And fair play to Kingsley taking part in the minutes silence. Wonderfully surreal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we were class for the first 3 minutes. Not denying we've had chances, and better sides might make Thistle work, but they are miles better than us - partly formation related, partly that they are dominating us physically all over the park, finding good space and looking faster as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 If you didn't have the time to count them, you'd think the Rovers were down to ten men here. Constantly under pressure, second to everything, Thistle always have a spare man. With the total lack of a midfield base, we should at least be able to get some traction in the final third, but second half in particular we've done nothing. We're playing a front five and we've had maybe two passages of play that have involved any three of them. We're doing terribly with the stuff we know we're bad at, but we're not getting remotely close to the stuff we're supposed to be good at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Do we look like scoring any more? Derek Ferguson is now talking about anything but this match which tells me it's rather died on its arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Here comes the desperation chuck all the forwards on gambit. At any point since the half began, he could have put Arnott in to tryvand give us a midfield base. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
