It's obviously reaping rewards. Changed my mind on this. Dreadful move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Too many players absolutely miles off it from the get go. Graham’s two sitters right at the end summed up his and our game. Arbroath throughly deserved their victory, felt it was reminiscent of most of our games v them prior to last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We do it in batches. Usually 3 good, 3 bad. So. You will be OK to pump us next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just everything you’d want from a team you support, very very impressed that Jess Norey came in at right back today and done a job. Fair play to the guy, moved up from London and not kicked a ball until today and I think everyone expected Darren Lyon to come in but for him to come in and have a solid game speaks volumes, fair play young man I know you’re 22 today so hope you enjoy Devitos the night. Superb stuff Birthday boy too hopefully finds a young lady to give him his birthday present after his dance in devitos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag71 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Imagine watching that first 45 minutes and thinking it was acceptable to send the same 11 players out for the second half. Bewildering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptfc. 22 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 We were very bad. Constant wasteful long balls and careless passing in the final third cost us. Couldn't beat Arbroath's press at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 McKenna was everywhere for Arbroath today. The amount of space he created by dragging our players out of position was phenomenal. Fitzpatrick is so frustrating, he can almost always beat his man but most of the time he chooses not to bother his arse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I did fear that we were in for a bit of a hiding today with our piss weak midfield, especially if Arbroath's recent form was anything resembling their 2021/22 season. They were fantastic today and that standard of performance will terrorise any team in the division whose midfield needs 3-4 touches between receiving the ball and moving it on (which is everyone). I see no reason why they can't challenge for the title if they can hit that kind of benchmark consistently. McMillan wouldn't have made too much difference to the outcome today, and to be fair to McKenzie he is standing in for the best right back in the league. But he is a massive downgrade and we can't play him there again - he can't defend, doesn't look comfortable going forward, and seems to want rid of the ball as soon as possible. I'm not convinced he's anywhere near ready for first team football at this level. Edited September 23, 2023 by AMMjag 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Think you could sum up Thistle game when in the last minute the ball hit the ref. Enjoyable game for a neutral though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afc_36_0 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Whole team were outstanding yesterday, wont see a more comfortable away win than that. Really rate partick but they were woeful, didn’t lay a glove on us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref seemed to look at our player with (understandable) disdain when he was hit- a sort of “can’t you do anything right” look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, think Williams is a better shout at right back if McMillan is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) mmmmmmmmmmm first goal looks to me like Sneddon could have gone and either punched or caught it, scored from inside the 6 yard box. second does take a big deflection but it's what can happen if you dont get close enough to the 2nd ball after a clearing header. Bit of a soft free kick leading up to it but Zander doesn't have to put both hands on the forward, definitely bought the foul though. Fairly similar in nature to the goals we conceded against QotS. All Arbroath all the way through from the highlights, was away by the time of the 3rd goal, defending looked a bit half hearted and one of those "we've been shite all day and know the game is already done" goals - not meaning to take away from Arbroath I hasten to add, thoroughly deserved to win by at least three for the way they played, put the effort in tirelessly.

In fairness we didn’t have the option of putting Williams at RB yesterday (although I think it’d still have been MacKenzie starting in any case). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
