saint in exile Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Ah well. Subs changed the game. We still need a few more in to strengthen the squad. At least we're not bottom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Urquhart Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Disappointing result after a very good performance. Gives us hope for the season ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Nothing to show for a decent performance, 2nd half Hibs looked the more likely but a draw wouldn't have been a massive shock. Shankland, diddy that he is, scores just the 4 for Dundee United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Only real criticism today (other than the goal obvs) was the all too familiar poor decision making in the final third. Other than that, pretty encouraging. Do feel like it was a missed opportunity though. Hibs weren’t that good.

Wendy Saintss Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Great idea. As most goals come from a move of 1 pass or less after a regain of possession in the attacking third, passing is pointless.Leicester won the Premiership against far better players and despite having less than 50% possession in every game.Let the opposition pass, press and score!

BuddieinEK Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 My head said to put a fiver on 0-0.My heart put the fiver on a Saints win!My head, despite being wrong itself, forgives my heart.From reports, we gave a decent performance and put in plenty of effort, something I fully expected from a JG team.Still very early doors.We had chances. If we were a few weeks ahead would the added fitness and sharpness have secured a point or three?We will never know.The important thing is the team showed they can compete.I believe Jim Goodwin will get the best out of them.If we can survive the opening few games without a Fakes type capitulation, we should do just fine.

Vambo57 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Decent performance and we should get better once the players get to know each other. Onwards and upwards. COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsidebud Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Sounds like we were unlucky. Looking at the St Johnstone and Hamilton results in particular we may have a fighting chance after all [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hibs were a bit off it, that said we were cocompetitive and that's a plus. Big Mac tired at the end, maybe Baird should have been on?We played sharper, quicker free flowing football without S McGinn. Might be a worry for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Interesting to see what's going on at St,Johnstone too. Their squad doesn't look terrible, but their results do. They are long overdue a shocking season, and would be a welcome addition to the relegation shitfest. Things will be clearer when the transfer window shuts.

Tommy Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 We push our luck at times but considering the amount of new players we had, we performed far better than I thought we would. I would rather be in our position than Accies or Livvy and maybe even the Fakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munoz Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Considering some of the new recruits just arrived this week, I thought that was a superb performance from every player including the subs. Although Hibs had the better of the chances, we had some very good ones of our own. Very organised from start to finish, unfortunately just switched off at their goal although it was well worked. If we bring that type of performance every week, we'll be more than fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Definitely a better performance than I expected given the very late additions brought in by Goodie. We need to score to win though and that hasn't happened in open play yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLBud Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 All the new guys were good, which was a plus. They’ll get better over the next few weeks and we’ll definitely bring a left back and another striker in this week. Hibs passed the ball about well and their movement was great which took its toll in the final quarter with a few of our guys struggling in hot conditions. A decent performance with contributions from everyone. Still, no points and it would be good to get off the mark v Aberdeen next week.
