Cornwall_Saint Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Dreadful first half, at least we put up a fight in the 2nd. If someone can shock the Pats then top spot could come down to GD so we’ve helped ourselves in that regard, while GD could also matter in the 2nd placed table. Only positive we can take from result tbh but the 2 goals could be vital. Next three games are a must win in 90 or we can forget about the 2nd round.

linwood-bud Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Jim Goodwin was 80 minutes too late taking off McGinn. He simply doesn’t have the energy, fitness or outstanding ability to deserve a place in the team. It almost feels like Ryan Flynn is a different player when he doesn’t have to cover Stephen.

Just like last year McGinn sits so far back our midfield has a huge gap that teams just run through ,Flynn and Maginess look better when he is off. Having said that McKenzie is so slow he needs cover,catch 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 As things stand at this time we look relegation certainties that first half performance was unacceptable. If we played a half decent premiership team it would have been double figures. Board need to fund Jim can see us now selling the goal keeper to do that.

S McGinn is hopeless and needs dropping for Wednesday.Shocking performance from him today, and not the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have felt even last season Stevie is carrying an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munoz Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 The only positives were Hladky, Djorkaeff and making it home in time to see the last set of the tennis. That first half was as bad as I can remember, even worse than seasons debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 If Verheydt was there today he'd have been going some given his current club had an open day for the fans and he was still there at half past 1 this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Well that was a waste of a Sunday. Absolute dross. Goodwin will dress it up in the media. But it was dire. Absolutely full of sloppy mistakes poor defending and no supply to forwards. Love to ask Goody what was the formation meant to be. Was it 4.3.1.2. Cos we sat for 90 minutes and couldn't work it out. Badly needing about 8 decent players. Break the bank to get Popescu back. Midfield has no energy. Pretty passes to go 5 yards backwards. Simply not good enough. Why wasnt Dorkjeef not playing from the start. Cos if he can't get into that team. If we bring in new players how is he going get Into any team this season. Day in our life's we won't get back.

Mid Calder Saint Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Agree Stephen was well out of touch and game passed him by and should have been hooked earlier Erhahon is so young and out of position at left back he needs to go out on loan get games in his true position and build up confidence this would do him the world of good alas Gary McK cannot perform now in a flat back four and will feature only in a three central defence style all in all we need to sign around eight players min much to be done one wonders what Messrs Fitzpatrick and McPherson have been doing for the past seven weeks.

Sonny Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Well that was dreadful. Started with 4-3-3 and completely overrun in midfield. Andreu played deeper in second half but still overrun. Some players are simply not good enough and others had a really bad day at the office. At least this display should focus Jim's attention on recruitment which is badly needed. Resign Muzek and ask SMiSA for 100k for Popescu would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Muzek joined Sheriff earlier this month. Like you and many others, I hope that we can still do something to get Popescu, but looking doubtful!

St.Ricky Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Back home and had time to reflect on the game. Miserable first half. Not bad second half. Improved when S McGinn went off and handed the armband to Magennis who then came into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Gus MacPherson starting to look like a waste of a wage. The problems with the team should be blindingly obvious from last year. Not blaming Gus personally but obviously all the turmoil with Kearney influenced Muzek's decision to sign elsewhere. Certainly didn't help with Popescu either. If the Director position is still resulting in us going in to the season prepared like today then what is the point really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
