But from there on in the passing was terrible and we were poor however the winning mentality prevailed and we got another 3 points while not playing well. Were you at the same game..? We only had five shots on target in the whole game! That was as poor as Utd were against Livi on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the best under perform and how many other non Bud fans would love to be where we are? How many of us thought after last season that we would be where we are? Yes, the team are having a sticky patch with 1 defeat in 11 and as the finishing line approached nerves will kick in and this is where our management team earn their corn. Yesterday second half was grim but it is a results business and we got the 3 points. Still it keeps Elvis happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get real.... bigot brothers ffs. we managed to make a team who had one shot on target seem like actual contenders yesterday. Dont know where Ross's head is at bringing back that no mark McShane, it got embarrassing waiting for him to be finally hooked. And his refusal to adapt the line up/set up to beat the opposition looks like a throwback to the times when a first team squad was eleven and the same two subs. if we go like that against Utd, Flood will have a feckin field day at our expense. We have the players to play much better, but Ross's old petulant streak seems to be back by refusing to use the resources at his disposal. Remember he took Reilly off and subbed him with Baird... feck me thats some statement of intent. Edit: forgot to add the only team to find the net yesterday were Brechin..! Anyone still think we dont have a problem? Edited February 25, 2018 by Lord Pityme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Missed a penalty and hit the bar. 'Keeper also had three great saves, and Smith blazed two over the bar when it looked easier to score. A couple of great efforts from Morgan and MacKenzie blocked too. Looks like someone needs to refresh their memory regarding the actual events of yesterday. Edited February 25, 2018 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deflection deflectionHe brought on Hippolyte...I’m sure you could have googled that mind youThen he took Cammy smith off to change the shape. Had he done nothing and we conceded you would have loved it anyway. Since that never happened your focusing on some absolute drivel.

It is noteworthy that the Ian McShane fans have gone to ground after his worthless contribution yesterday, all we can do is hope some poor buggers might take him on emergency loan! "he took Cammy Smith off to change the shape" would that shape-change have been from brutal to desperation?

East Lothian Saint Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) HA! HA! I think jack must be a regular reader of the forum. Two big points. He had a good chat with the players after the game and he thinks they will benefit from that. The vast majority of supporters are with the club and understand we have no divine right to win football matches So there you haveit. Stick with the team and do your bit to get us over the line starting on Friday night when we go to a tough venue as LEAGUE LEADERS. Trust in Jack he has got us this far.

djchapsticks Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'll be honest, I didn't think McShane was nearly as bad as LPM is making out. Indeed, the use of the word 'impostor' is pretty distasteful considering he's been a regular in a team who is stoating this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Ross thought the very same when he eventually hooked him, possibly thought that too when he dropped him, Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rare pearl in an oyster filled with horse shit. we need, like many have commented on here a genuine midfield with two guys who take turns to hold, and be the centre of all our play. Thankfully yesterday when Brechin got behind McGinn and Magennis they were too poor to capitalise on it. You saw last week how Livi did, and unless Ross plays Donati in there i fear we will gift a poor Dun Utd too many chances. Surely most saints fans can see thats our achilles?

Indeed, the use of the word 'impostor' is pretty distasteful considering he's been a regular in a team who is stoating this league. His penalty was saved which makes him an easy target. I can admit he didn't have his best game yesterday but I'm not sure many did. He was on the park during our best period of the match and don't think bringing Flynn on really changed anything. For me the substitution that changed things for the better was bringing Baird on as Liam Smith seemed to relax and play like the player we know that he is.

DLBud Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 "he took Cammy Smith off to change the shape" would that shape-change have been from brutal to desperation? We were poor yesterday. There’s no denying that fact but as much as you’d love to use this as another opportunity to slate the manager (I see you created “Jack’s petulant streak” elsewhere on the thread) the fact is that the change to three centre backs worked as we didn’t concede a crucial goal. You would almost certainly have been one of the first to moan if he’d done nothing and we’d lost the sucker goal at the death. The penalty miss inexplicably changed the game. Had it gone in then we’d likely have run out comfortable winners but shit happens. We had a few players who’ve lost form and a shitty playing surface to contend with yesterday but we ground out the result. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone still think we dont have a problem? I am not saying we played well second half but EVERY team has stinkers. We lost 1 game in 11 and top of the league. As Jack said in his post match interview "we have no right to expect to win a football match" and praised the effort of Brechin. Expecting to win every match while playing well is what we expect from the gruesome twosome from Glasgow. I would remind you that we won yesterday and while not pretty (second half) it was another 3 points. Every team will have patches in the season where a dip in firm occurs. Dundee Utd is a different proposition but we will be up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Still struggling to get my head round the moans. Our recent dip in form has seen us pick up more points in our last 10 games than we picked up in our first 10 games of the season! Same goes for our last 6 games vs our first 6 games. It’s a results business and even more so at this time of the season. Edited February 25, 2018 by davidg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few moans in the stadium but like you say, definitely the minority but enough to draw attention from players and staff. Frustrating stuff.

santaponsasaint Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 we will have bad games everybody should know that. but for me yesterday it was our lack of desire that annoyed me. 2nd half we let a team of no hopers bully us all over the p ark. Think it's something JR has to look at. but if the players are not up for Friday night then we would have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
