RichardBuddie Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Indeed, for now. It would be foolish to ignore out current form. Something needs to change, lost the momentum we had which is a big part of winning games IMO. Agreed, I personally don’t think we’ve played well since we gubbed Utd 3 nil at home, I honestly thought we were lucky Against ICT, QOS & Brechin.At times I feel we are just trying to be a wee bit too clever with our play and teams are getting fly for it now.This break could be a real blessing.

northstbuddie Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 The season still has a long way to go, but at this stage we are just falling short of where we need to be to be able to survive in the Premiership (if we were to get there). If we get a windfall from the sell-on clause for John McGinn (if he goes in January) and are able to hold on to Morgan for the rest of the season, we should direct any transfer money into strengthening in all areas of our team in January. Otherwise, another season in the Championship would not be the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I know I will get the usual abuse but I will be surprised if we make the top 4 this league is as tight as a Ducks ass . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 A few stand outs today . Eckersley had one of his best games for us , but yet again Samson turned in a great performance and probably was our man of the match . He had 2 or 3 exceptional saves in the 2nd half to keep us in it and was very unlucky not to have been given a free kick in the lead up to their 2nd goal . Baird also put in a decent shift .

Was at the United end , so can't say for sure , but given that it looked like a free header and Jack Bairds reaction to his fellow defender for not marking up I assume , I'd say no .

East Lothian Saint Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Didn't think we were that bad but the first goal was not well defended. Didn't think McCart had a good game and despite a slight improvement after Sutton came on, the second looked like it was always coming. Don't think Lewis had a good game but maybe some of my observations should have been kept to myself. Fecking after expressing an opinion or two I discovered I was sitting next to his mum and dad. Oops sorry Mr & Mrs Morgan. I do think your son is awesome but....well they were doubling up on him in my defense. Next week I imagine we will be knocked of the top when we ain't playing and then it's the cup. Inverness away will be a tough one but we're due a win and my hotel is booked so come on Lewis and COYS.

We are not going to have a better chance of promotion as this season. But would we want to be promoted if we do not improve on our present level? I agree that we could be promoted with this present team (because there is no clear leader of the pack at present), but we would require a significant step up in performance to survive in the top league if we were to gain promotion. Considering where we were in the Championship this time last year, our management team can be relied upon to achieve that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
