the_bully_wee Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Really disappointing to only take a point from that given the pattern of the game. Garbage end product from so many promising openings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyweehutch Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Annoying not to win that! Specially with Forfar scoring late on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Given we were pumped 4-0 in McCall’s first game, a 1-1 draw on the road is a marked improvement. I feel we shaded that game but couldn’t make the final pass or work the keeper too often. Scullion, Young and Leslie all failed to cut the ball back from near identical positions. However, from the pattern of the game, if we could actually sign some of these seven, six, five or four players (the number seems to be dropping by the day) we may be onto a winner. There’s a marked improvement in the defence with Howie and Hamilton in there. Forfar managed to win against Elgin so it’s back to chasing the latter with a five point gap to make up. A bit of a free hit on Friday night before another couple of tricky fixtures away to Spartans and Elgin.

Beachcomber Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) The only good thing about that game is that we didn't lose it. Although we got the early goal Clyde controlled the half and it was obvious our 4-3-3 wasn't working , we were over run in midfield. Easton injured and replaced at half time certainly didn't help and McDonald changed to a 4-4-2 which restricted Clyde the ball in midfield but we still created next to nothing. Clyde smacked The post with a free kick and looked dangerous but lacked a real forward focus. The manager will no doubt point to our injury/ illness crisis but it just isn't good enough. Thought Charlie Murray was excellent on his debut and Murdoch,Austin and Millar worked hard. We won't get away with a performance like that next week v Peterhead !

David W Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 There's an obvious improvement and we played pretty well today but we need to turn games like that into wins and get closer to those above asap. Especially as there is a massive drop off if one of those midfielders/centre halves misses out, as Cuddihy did for half an hour. The lack of competent full backs is more obvious when the rest of the side looks stronger. East Fife were terrible, as so many sides in this division are, but got a point. We have rarely played that bad and got anything other than a hiding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you are old enough and smart enough by now tempting fate like that. Aye, I'm old enough and smart enough to know if we'd successfully managed to keep Rennie from scoring, we'd have had the 3 points. That said, I dont think we did enough to deserve the victory today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundesliga Boy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Centre half area is vastly improved - Hamilton was just a joy to watch today. Fullback areas, especially on the left - well, less said about that the better! And what's with Dunachie - decent at times but sadly lacking on the old i.q. front. When you have the opponent pinned right back in their own third, with their back to goal no less, stop charging through the back of players and giving away monumentally stupid infringements!!! Second game in a row when the drop off in centre mid when one had to be be subbed was vast. Up front - ball control people.....come on. And need to be more clinical. Need at least 5 players in before Spartans away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A supporter of a team adrift at the foot of SPFL2 really shouldn't be calling any other side in the league terrible. Bit of respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If being well outplayed at home for over an hour by the side adrift at the bottom of the league doesn't make a team terrible, I'm not sure what does! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 On the face of it, a draw at home to the bottom side, when we had a goal start looks like a poor result. However, when you take it into context, we had no recognised central defenders for most of the game. Page & Comerford unavailable, Easton only lasted until half time. McManus, who played at the back at Forfar, not in the squad. Charlie Murray making his first start, Shiavone going into defence. Players still not recovered from an illness that's swept through the squad. The fact we didnt lose this one, with a squad stretched to the limits, with clearly wasn't good enough to begin with, should mean that team we put out on the park deserveves credit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they tried hard but the product to watch (like last home game) was brutal, to make things worse we are paying the highest prices to watch it. Manager needs to act and get bodies in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
