Callum Gilhooley Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 only 3 games.... I know its only three games , but my point is , the that History is written by the Victors (& the administrators !!) No amount of hard luck stories will get us back the NINE points lost after those three games without a goal . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibbles old paperboy Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 For all the talk of us creating a barrow load of chances and playing well, Dundee's keeper only had to make one decent save in the game. Talk of St Mirren deserving to score 4 or 5 goals is way off the mark. We barely managed 4 or 5 shots on target and most of those were weak efforts straight at the keeper.

boomboomyards Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 the only good thing from yesterdays game, Dundee about to make a substitution, goodwin tells mcgowan its him being subbed, paul starts to walk off, then harkins name is announced over the tannoy . Feckin hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I don't get the we need a new defender pish. We have plenty cover within the team. Our problem is scoring goals. So, what will our central defense be if (god forbid) Plummer and Cheesy get injured? A makeshift combination of Goodwin/Tesselar (with 2 key players out of position)? Goodwin/Naismith (still with 2 key players out of position)? Kelly? We are so threadbare in defence its ridiculous.If anything happens to Plummer alone we are Donald Ducked.

That's true, I can only really recall the save from Naismith in the first half. and the Thompson header he smothered second time in second half However, there was good chances the 2 that fell to Drury,Naismith's cut back that evaded a couple of swipes, McLeans off balance swing, Ball had a stooping header and put a fairly routine clearance from a corner over the bar. Any 2 of those going in wouldn't have flattered us - 4 or 5 is inflating the case, though. Edited August 24, 2014 by Bloomsbury Bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ McG Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 WE NEED A NEW CENTRE HALF11!!!!!! And a striker in my opinion, the strikers we have are all powder puff with the exception of Thompson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 To take the Lady Bracknell view if you squander one game when you've had the bulk of the chances is unfortunate but two looks careless. Also I'm unsure about TC's post-match remarks which seem complacent, on the one hand what else can he say in public but it's getting close to being time to panic - unable to keep a clean sheet and looking dependant on ThommoGod to score the bulk of our goals this season - AGAIN!

Phil McCracken Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 yes of course your right... but..its a marathon not a sprint those of us who have run marathons will know that marathons should be run at an even pace so not a good analogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Watched the highlights on last nights BBC Hurdygurdy. The JD sports stadium / Glorified Carbrini Advertising hoarding stadium is starting to look ridiculous . There is more Hi Vis round the ground than at a health & safety conference. I know the commercial & business reasons for doing it but to me its starting to look cheap & tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankin_panda Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have to be honest in my opinion that there are a lot who feel it is to early for the "new" management team but, for me, they were part of the previous regime and, to that end, the manager especially has no time. I, like many, was not happy with the appointment and how it came about. This view has not changed and I don't believe things will improve to the extent that we will survive. We've been on the slippery slope since our cup win with cost cutting at the forefront of this. The evidence at this early stage speaks volumes: 0-1 v a what has proved to be a poor Motherwell side 0-2 and 0-1 v both promoted sides at home 0 points, 0 goals and I believe they will get harder to come by as season progresses. I would dearly love to be proved wrong but I feel, even at this early stage, that a change is needed at management level in order to get the best out of a decent squad. I don't consider myself to be a "knicker wetter" just realistic in my opinion. But as I said I would love to be proved wrong....... My thoughts exactly!

elvis Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I thought we were miles better than the Hamilton game but the chances we are passing up is scandalous .But this is not just this season its been the same for years it just does not matter who the manager or players are its never been addressed its like we have been cursed.

Aye, it was bizarre yesterday that we couldn't convert one of the numerous chances. This is why I am now hoping we get a wee bit of luck to get us out the blocks. A dodgy penalty, OG, massive deflecton, or in off the referee's arse, it matters not. We had the right attitude yesterday but nothing fell for us. It'll come, but let's hope it is sooner rather than later. Edited August 24, 2014 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsuMirren Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'd question we had the right attitude, far too many refusing to just f**king hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Calder Saint Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I thought we did ok yesterday made lots of chances and general play was fine. Goodwin for me was motm. After they scored however there was for me an acceptance from Tommy that we were done. He just looked towards us in the Main Stand and did little in my opinion to get the lads fired up whereas Hartley was like a man possessed. He knew his team had got out of jail.Just on a final note Ball and Marwood in my opinion just don't do it for me and with the squad available I much prefer a 4-5-1 formation. Very few teams in the modern era go with 4-4-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) I have to say I like the way TC comes across in the press after the games. He is calling it as it is. Not good enough v Accies but played well in the other games without scoring. Will stick with the plan and it will all come good. I think and hope that he is correct, we've a decent squad that needs a wee bit of time to Gel. Hopefully it will over the course of the season. The time to judge is at the end of the season.

Very few teams in the modern era go with 4-4-2. One up front literally only adds up if you have a couple of midfielders that can chip in with 15 goals or so between them. We don't have anyone capable of that unless Drury comes good. So IMO we have to persist with 4-4-2 for now and hope Bell, Marwood or Caldwell can come through.
