CathcartSkins Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 That was a one sided game as I have witnessed in many a season. We must be more clinical is the cry; however, first we could maybe have a wee shot at goal every now and then. That said, it is a joy to watch the football on display, and they will only get better.

Anonymous Spider Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Rampant first half, shoulda been out of sight. Always gets a bit nervy at 1-0 and I thought we’d fucked it but thoroughly deserved winner. Minor gripes - I thought we bypassed the midfield a bit too much and we need to get a bit more joy from the corners. But some excellent fitba today and can see us getting better by the week Young team - will be plenty ups and downs - but fancy us to be a good watch this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. If you can't cope with full time teams beating you, ask Dick to get you relegated and then you can complete with like teams. Or.....you can do as you did two years ago and be better than the full time teams. No one's gloating; the comments reflect how the game was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonSpider99 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 At the end of that game, our defence was: Cameron Bruce : 17 Charlie Fox : 24 Alex Bannon : 19 Cameron MacPherson : 19 Average age of 19.75, welcome to the new Queen’s Park. Excellent trust we’ve put in our younger guys 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving a midweek game to an otherwise free Saturday due to both failing to progress in cup. Probably suits players and most fans better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you'll find many folk arguing that a trip to Arbroath on a Saturday in August is much more appealing than a Tuesday night in October.

Anonymous Spider Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Great highlights. We’re well on track to scoring some very sexy goals this season… Didn’t realise quite how far out of position Tizzard was for the goal - not even close to playing him offside. Hooked straight away and looked to me like he huffed straight into dressing room. One to watch there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed it last season when we played I think Queens and Falkirk played Kelty, but the next time we played Queens, Falkirk played Edinburgh or something. I'd always thought the fixtures for each "Gameday" were the same, with the order jumbled up a bit but seemingly not. So we played Dundee Utd yesterday but play Inverness on the midweek round. We are both out the cup so could switch it but given our injury list I think we'll just take the financial hit for a midweek game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox is the left sided centre-half and it’s him charging out to follow Dunnwald-Thuram that creates the issue that leads to the goal. Tizzard’s line should maybe be a bit higher, but I think it’s unfair to say he’s ‘out of position’. I thought he was alright the rest of the game, it was a nonsensical booking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s quite clearly not the finished article which is expected but immediately after a couple games, he’s got the raw attributes to be a very very good defender at this level. I think the booking early doors affected his game a bit and taking him off after Arbroath’s equaliser was probably the right decision. It was key to not have players on the pitch with their head gone in that moment Thought Fox was exceptional yesterday and looks back to the player we all know he is. Knowing he’s now tied down for 2 years is superb 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reference Spider's Talk, Marjin Beuker talked of wide crosses having a goal success rate of 1 in 20. Gaston is a decent 'keeper and while I appreciate Fox stating previously he'd like to get a few more goals via headers and, much as I like him, Tizzard doesn't seem to have possessed much of an aerial threat so far, I'd have thought that given our style of play, more use would have been made of shorter corners played to feet to keep the pressure on.
