Central Belt Caley Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 9 hours ago, PB1994 said: Big Duncs record for us is actually pretty solid for the championship. By no means spectacular but I think if you used his wins/losses/draws over the course of a season it would be fighting for the playoffs at the right end of the table. The utter disaster of a start has just made every negative result we have now look so much worse. This is the thing people tend to forget, after 6 games we had 1 point. If the league started when Dunc took over we’d be 5th currently (if my auntie had baws etc). Don’t get me wrong some of the performances have been hopeless but we’ve come a long way from being bottom of the league after 6 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just watched the highlights and you could legitimately blame Sneddon for all 3 Inverness goals, 2 trundlers and flapping at a corner. Defence has to do better as well. Inverness won't be happy with the defending for our goals as well, poor clearing header for the first, falling asleep at a free kick (tho credit to Robinson for being switched on) to give away the penalty for the second and there were 5 consecutive headers in the box before Graham volleyed the third. Never a red card either, McBeth does duck his head down a bit so Andersons foot is still higher than it should be, and it is a foul and maybe a yellow but nowhere near enough force for a red. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Clavdivs Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Big Brian's post match interview summed up the feelings of most Jags fans this am...scoring three away from home and not picking up three points is just not acceptable against a struggling ICT. Doolan is a relatively young manager learning his trade.However, everyone in the Championship knows we have a wobbly defence that can't deal with cross balls/set pieces in and around our box and needs urgent attention .I am sure he'll have felt the mood post match without having watched BBGs interview , but he really needs to get his big boy pants on and sort the rot out . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Sneddon should be dropped for the next match, Doolan’s now got two other viable options on the bench to choose from (unless Ross Stewart has improved from a few years ago it’ll probably be Mitchell), Jamie can’t complain he hasn’t been given a good chance this season even when he’s had a poor game the manager has stuck with him. Brian Graham’s post match interview was spot on, 2 irritating things; the first that we score 3 away from home but don’t win, and secondly we’ve yet again failed to properly capitalise on one of the team’s above dropping points.

TheScarf Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 That defending for Thistle's 1st and 3rd goals. Also I'm pishing at the red card seeing it back. It's not even a yellow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Sneddon doesn’t look great for any of the goals, but I’d probably only really blame him for the second, which is just weak, pathetic goalkeeping. Teams have learned that if you just stand someone next to him at set pieces he’ll get stuck behind them and end up flapping at the ball, resulting in easy finishes. The first Caley is hilarious, we have about 5 players at RB and nobody on the whole left side of the field. An absolute clusterfuck. The third as well, nobody within about a mile of Shaw and he’s left with a tap in. Sneddon should probably cover his near post better, but the defensive shape and marking is tragic. I’d agree that was never a red card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 That red card surely we can appeal that nonsense? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree that was never a red card. I text my mate who couldn’t make the game yesterday and I described Kerr’s goal as ‘Raith-esque defending against Airdrie last week’ I couldn’t believe how much space he had. The second half was fucking horrible. We scored 2 goals but looked like conceding every time Thistle had possession. They should’ve got more than 3 yesterday imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These refereeing abberations usually have a habit of balancing themselves out over the course of season. Not worth getting hot and bothered about IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Kite Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Just watched the whole game. Harsh red. Maybe I'm being a bit Sunday League/alehouse football here with the Caley second, but I was always told to stop the attacker getting in front of your keeper. Their third was just scrappy. However, glad to see a fight back. The cameos from the subs were pleasing. Robinson with the awareness to take a few steps back, to head the ball back into the crowded area. O'Reilly being vocal, talking to the ref and looking confident and raring to go. The Morton draw was helpful.

He was probably the best defender in the league in the first half of the season and yet is deemed inferior to Muirhead. Me thinks Kris needs to show some ()()'s and drop his mate. He played in six games across December and January, incidentally none of them clean sheets. Bit of stretch to call him the best defender in the league on that basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t even have him as the best defender in our squad (which is Lewis Neilson, by a mile) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
