A loss over two legs to Plzen isn’t the worst result in isolation even if they’ve clearly regressed from a few years back, but I’ve got no idea when or where this good recruitment is supposed to have happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Absolute Imposter Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Don't follow senior football. Watched that 'game' tonight. If that's the standard of elite level football in Scotland. God help us. That was absolutely shocking. Afyer witnessing that shambles in the Euros, what has happened to Scottish Football? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Pretty, pretty shite. No having Shankland certainly wasn't helpful but given how few chances we're making at the moment I don't think it would have mattered much if he'd been fit. Plzen are generally defensively pretty sturdy but they didn't have to do much difficult stuff tonight. Sunday should be a laugh Edited August 29 by Insert Amusing Pseudonym 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Regardless of what Naismith said tonight, anyone think Shankland wasn't risked tonight ahead of a "big money" move to Rangers/Celtic tomorrow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Just back from the game and disappointed to say the least. I wouldn’t mind if we’d gone down fighting, but that was shite . Naismith must shoulder most of the blame for this for yet another tactical f**k up. We signed 2 number 10’s in Spittal and Dhanda, both of whom had great seasons with their respective clubs, but had both on the bench and played Boyce instead , who’s an absolute diddy. We had Taylor at right wing back who doesn’t look comfortable, but looked brilliant against Rangers at right back first game this season. Too many players played out of position and the wrong starting line up . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will, but up to now they look shite. The recruitment didn't make us much better, but it does give us more options on top of a squad that finished comfortably third last season. The game against Rangers on the opening day was a pretty good blueprint for how we might approach a game like tonight's. 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 with creative wide players and overlapping full-backs. For whatever reason Naismith completely abandoned that approach since and instead opted for an ultra-cautious 5-3-2 with no creativity in midfield and a finished Boyce up front. Even the more excitable fans saw this performance coming a mile off. One area where the recruitment has clearly failed is up front. It is mental that Boyce is still the alternative when Shankland is unavailable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the 3 at the back. Not the recruitment in other areas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) This looks like a good laugh at least. We'll draw one home and one away team from each pair of pots (1&2, 3&4, 5&6) Could get LASK, APOEL, HJK, TNS, TSC and Larne. Could get Chelsea, Istanbul Basaksehir, Vitoria, Cercle Brugge, Panathinaikos and Dinamo Minsk. RFS are no longer a possibility because they won their Europa League play-off.
