DLBud Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Subjective at best. Didn't Ross dismantle the squad who had survived the season before? No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don’t think it’s harsh to expect that they should be able to defeat both Spartans and Queens Park. The fact they couldn’t, is worrying. If Fitzy isn’t worried, he bloody well should be. I agree with you however this can change, it's not the ideal start but if we see improvement in the following weeks then we can still go on to have a good season. If we're going to be shite i'd rather it was now when it's not as damaging. We need some morale boosting signings to come in soon too...as promised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect we will get the occasional humping but we will also make some of them work hard to beat us. An honest question here. What did you see that makes you think that's the case? You're either clueless or have been watching a completely different team from the one others have witnessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only positive I can take just now is , there's still time to bring in some more players. The squad is far too thin at the moment. I think there are a few reasons to be positive. Firstly against better teams we will have more space. Secondly, we are still in pre-season. Thirdly, you will see more players start to commit towards the end of the transfer window. I am certain we will see some major turnover of players by then. The players are still trying to work out how Stubbs wants them to play. I think he lacks the wide players and the strikers to make it all click into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLBud Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Looks to me like Stubbs has sorted out the defence and the core of the midfield. We will be hard to beat next season.I’ve got a feeling I’m going to be whooshed here but.......are you serious?The back three managed to look worse than average tonight against the square root of f**k all up top for Queens. That following 90 mins of making a non-league side look sharp and a 6 goal hosing at home.If we don’t sign, at least, 5 players to start in that team we’re not going to be very hard to beat and could suffer at Ibrox in week 2 of the season.

santaponsasaint Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Absolutely disgraceful. Ashamed and embarrassed. That's I felt sitting there watching that dross. No desire no passion no effort. Cole whatever his name is. If Gary Mackenzie is no better than him he should retire. High ball to Mullen and Smith. Cut or loses and get rid of Stubbs and his cronies. Dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLBud Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 QP didn't sit in against us though. They had as much of the ball, passed better and faster and had more efforts on target.Absolutely hit the nail on the head.Wee Gus has his critics on this forum but his team were the only one playing anything resembling decent football tonight.

We may or may not get humped at Ibrox but our season won't hinge on that match so why be scared of it. We will be getting more pkayers in but we will have to be patient.

Hambud Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 We start with three at the back, I assume to allow Heaton and Kpawaka a bit of game time while being guided by Jack Baird. We had two wing backs. For me coulson had his worst game for us. His first touch seemed to put the ball out of his reach which means he then ended up on the receiving end of a crunching tackle. But never really got going. Paul McGinn was neat and tidy and did look a level above the guys he was up against but couldn't get a good ball in. The midfield three looked out of sorts. McGinn may end up in danger of feeling he has to do it all. Flynn doesn't lose the ball easily but looks very one paced and didn't link up with McGinn or McPherson or the front two. Cammy smith was back in the number ten role just before the striker but you could tell he was really missing having guys like Morgan and Reilly up supporting him/playing off him. He spent too much time in possession of the ball facing our goal. Mainly as there were no options. Danny Mullan did what Danny does, works hard, but too often he was the guy putting in the cross to no-one. He didn't seem to link up with Cammy very well though neither were supported by the midfield. My main worry wasn't the lack of urgency it was just that there was no plan. No smartness to any of our attacks. We didn't seem to know what to do with it. There were two good chances in the game and both fell to Queens (a Gus McPherson team). How can we not work our way to get a shot at goal? Their keeper looked tiny yet we couldn't even test him!! Maybe it was another worthwhile run out....here's hoping.

The problem is that Stubbs is being berated for not bringing in players fast enough with absolutely no acceptance that this is completely out of his control. I think it is unacceptable to attack anyone for things outwith their personal control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
