Suspect Device Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 If we can play that poorly but still win in all the remaing games, that will be fine thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Technically still possible to finish top 6 unless I've miscalculated horribly. Not in our hands, as would rely on a number of results going in our favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does feel better having a bit of a gap over two teams and sucking Motherwell in. I did think we were shit for the most part today though so can’t rest on any laurels yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 That is a good result, but wasn't a good performance. We did start strongly and finish well enough, though, so willing to just about overlook the pretty dire hour or so in the middle. Ross County, by and large, looked superior in possession, created better angles, and looked more convincing when progressing the ball than we did. Still, with the state we are in, the result is really the only thing that matters. There wasn't a huge amount of quality in our performance, but plenty of determination from the likes of Devlin, Shinnie and Mackenzie to get us over the line. Clarkson and McGrath became more influential when Polvara came on. Duk made a big difference, and just changed the dynamics of the game by giving us that direct option over and behind. On a more negative note, I'm pleased we didn't dive into giving Gartenmann a permanent deal. He has had the odd good game, and started the season promisingly, but I have seen more than enough now to suggest we should be trying our luck elsewhere. Just bullied by Murray far too often today, and you can't be risking that when most teams in this division will play with that profile of forward. You could say the same for Jensen, although he is tied to a permanent and I can't see a big queue to take him off our hands. We probably need three new centre-backs in the summer. Hopefully we can get at least four points from the next six available. I didn't see enough today to suggest that we will necessarily do that, and it still wouldn't surprise me too much if we end up getting like one point from the next two games or something, but we have found a way to win two games that could - and maybe should - very easily have been draws, so that in itself is an achievement for this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more. Takes 4 touches before he decides what to do. By that time any passing angle is gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Not that I think for a moment my opinion matters in regard to this match, but it’s a good result. Brings the Ferranti Thistle / Ross County relegation doubler a step closer. So, well done Dandies. See youse’ again next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Gartenman just isn’t very good. Plenty if endeavour but unfortunately his lack of size/physical presence means that he needs to compensate by being an intelligent defender and/or good on the ball, of which he is neither really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of our fans don't like us trying to 'play out' from the back, but if you are going to avoid going long regularly, which Leven and the players made a big thing about after Fir Park, then it definitely helps to have at least one centre-back on the pitch who can progress the ball. Really, none of our current four can do it - they wait too long, don't recognise the angles quickly enough, and probably just lack a bit of courage too. The only time this season where we have looked even remotely capable in that regard is when Mackenzie was in a back three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubford don Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Was in section R right next to the county fans and would like to thank them for ruining my grandsons day by throwing broken glass into our section after the winning goal.

Matty-RCFC Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Still can’t wrap my head around why Sims was taken off for White at HT. Surely must’ve been for an injury? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes off you look like a right clever b*st*rd, but if Aberdeen win you won’t care, because, well, Aberdeen won. In fairness, the only thing I was absolutely certain about was that the winning goal would be scored in the 78th minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best games were as a part of the back-3 as a more mobile defender alongside Ruby. Just doesn't seem to fit a back 4 as neither imposingly strong or helpful with the ball at his feet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no resting on anything. After the split, we should have Livi at home, St Johnstone in Perth, Ross County in Dingwall, Motherwell at home and either Hibs away or Dundee away. Ross County, St Johnstone and Motherwell will all be scrapping for points, so we could be as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STFU_Donny Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Over the 90 mins I reckon we probably deserved the 3 points today, especially once Duk and Polvara came on. We could’ve had a couple more with the chances we created. I would’ve loved that Polvara thunderb*****d to go in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Hibs/Dundee fixture will be reversed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're back to being managed by Callum Davidson and that was his approach to avoiding the play off last time. We've ditched the shape we played against you to go back to a shape that's fucked us all season. It's great stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
