You are right though that heads to head with our closest competitors need to show improved results. Are we? Last season's team went on a great run that made us comfortably 11th. There is nothing to suggest the current team can do the same, despite buying quality and lots of money on long term deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right though that heads to head with our closest competitors need to show improved results. I think we do have a better squad and a better starting 11 than last season. That being said - they still need to make it work. The pressure is on for them to gel and start working as a team and getting results. The longer it takes, the more pressure will come and confidence will drain. 3 points on Saturday would help and I reckon we'll get them. That would set us up nicely for another home game the following week against Hearts. On 9/14/2019 at 11:32 PM, faraway saint said: Are we?

I'd counter that as until we did go on that run there was nothing to suggest that the team were capable of it. I think we were very fortunate with some of those results, sendings off going in our favour, last minute goals, etc. and coming up against a number of teams that had nothing to play for at that stage of the season.

C'mon you cant be serious with that last paragraph! Ffs last minute goals are the stuff dreams are made of! Kearney's team went from losing 7/8 on the trot, to unbeaten in last what was it eight? Games. That is what kept us up, that and Hldaky and Dun utd penalty takers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%, my term "comfortably 11th" was a tad sarcastic as the run we went on, according to some, had us top 4 team, or some other shit, used to take the previous manager to almost god like status. As for this crop, jury's still out, although, again, plenty were salivating when we signed any player who most had never heard of, but were great on a You Tube compilation.

Good question to ask, but we are neither creative enough nor supportive enough going forwards from the midfield over the last 2 games. Foley is a good holding player, Flynn is different and a real worker. Magennis and McAllister are potential match winners but can be lacking with their defensive duties. The answer is it depends on the opposition and how the manager wants us to play? Could McGinn play Foley's recent role and let him push on a bit? (That might mean playing 3 in the middle and say dropping McAllister to the bench) An other option is dropping Morais or Obika - they are not playing great together or getting much service currently. I'd like to see Durmus (out wide), Magennis, Flynn or McGinn, McAllister (across the middle) with Foley in behind or pushing on at times and Magennis doing similarly. Obika or Morais in the middle. Andreu is a replacement for Durmus, McAllister or Magennis. But whatever formation, we need to break more quickly and stretch the opposition out of their formations better..
