FTOF 11,571 Report post Posted January 24 On 1/22/2021 at 8:11 AM, FTOF said: If you watch their games, their tactic seems to be to get the ball up top as quickly as possible. Whether that's by playing football or by a punt over the top, they do it very well. Scott Robinson is a livewire and is scoring for fun. Both Mullin and Forrest have pace and never give defenders a minutes peace and they can finish. Another tactic which they use frequently, and scored from against the green bigots, is for their free kicks into the box. Their two taller defenders (Brown and Guthrie) and have mastered losing their markers and are extremely proficient at finishing from around the penalty spot. Guthrie scored against us in the 3-3 game last (?) season. Our defenders will need to be extremely vigilant. Fortunately Brown is suspended for this one. Simply put, if JG can get the best out of our players and we take any chances we get, then it should be a competitive game. Siggggggggggggh! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronnie 1,276 Report post Posted January 24 One thing every team knows is no silly free kicks against Livingston but ffs only 8 minutes to first one and we get punished. Was just about to say it had been a nervy start by us. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TPAFKA Jersey 2 4,587 Report post Posted January 24 We need to try to settle down. Just try and keep the ball for a bit. So far this hasn’t looked like a team in form against a team out of form. It’s looked like 2 teams from different leagues. Early days yet but we desperately need to settle down. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronnie 1,276 Report post Posted January 24 Only crumb of comfort is Rangers pumped us for 39 minutes and we went on to win. We need to try to settle down. Just try and keep the ball for a bit.

zurich_allan 1,223 Report post Posted January 24 Perfect opportunity wasted there to cut inside and shoot. We are not getting success going wide and trying to cross balls in. They are cutting out crosses and closing down on the wing. We need to switch it up and try to be more direct. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magnus 2,979 Report post Posted January 24 McGrath getting a bit more space now and the Livingston players not pressing as much. Just not sure Brophy can play as a lone striker. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
