Sonny Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 It is not just defenders that are being caught out. Twice in the last three games Obika lost the man he was marking who then scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santaponsasaint Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Well Obika stuck 12 last season and surely he should hit at least 10, if not surpass last season's total (since matches were culled) and Erwin will be good for about 8 I think. But both of these depend on us playing a lot better once we gel better and Flynn is back. Perhaps COnnolly will be good for 4 or 5 too? Erhahon and Cammy are the future - 1st team for a few years and then sell on !Obika did score 12. But took him a while to get going and I know he came in without a pre season but since the Accies game he looks not interested. I like Obika. When he's on his game his a handful. To be fair he needs better service. Him and Jakubiack struck up a good partnership. But like Popescu we showed o desire to get these players in the door.

I think a number of our players are not playing anywhere near their best with any sort of consistency. I am hoping its all about match practice and soon they will be up and running after an unusually long break. (I know we've played 8 competitive matches) Other than Alnwick who would you say had a good game every or nearly every week? (Possibly Tait until Saturday past) Guys like Durmus, McAllister, McCarthy etc really don't look like they are out of pre-season Others like McGrath, Obika, Folley have had a couple of decent games out of 8. Others wont make the grade and need to be offloaded (I won't add in the names, but moist of us know who) Have anyone other than our keeper or defenders been our best player in any game? Even if in one or two games, this is a really worrying trait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Frustration from making the biggest mistake of his career going from Europa League football to a relegation battle with the dull negative football we are enduring every single week.

[emoji26]Don't expect that from an experience player like him. Now cos of his frustration we have 3 defenders at the club. Thats poor. Whoever is doing the player recruitment has been poor. Cant blame Gus for this disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Calder Saint Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Yes and Jim said in his post match interview at Tannadice that he wasn't blessed with many defenders then who is to blame for that Jim? I have to say the squad lacks proper balance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norrie82 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Gus’s teams were a better watch than this sorry lot. It really is horrible at present. Not an single bit of football being played. Highballs , long throws and hopeful football. I’ve come to expect a struggle but this is really poor to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good footballer though, his one saving grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely. And shattered by having to play with no midfield in front of him every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG was more about what he could get away with. Eventually got himself a reputation which caught up with him. Goodwin is a lot smarter than Tait !
