TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Accies should have been dead and buried long before the Fakes goal or the equaliser. I’m hanging Obika out to dry as my scapegoat of choice this week. He squandered at least 3 great chances to kill the game. He was a big dumplin’ today. His hold up play was dreadful too.

Saint@Johnstone Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Top six was a bit too much to hope for when trying to compete with big teams like Livi and StJohnstone. Would advise JG, free transfers to all the centre forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldorf34 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Just missed out on goal difference ,injuries to Dennis and Brophy did not help but a great effort from the club and we now know a top 6 place is achievable if we can strengthen a few positions. Now to win the cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big mistake when we took off Erwin and set up to defend our lead after only 55mins ! All that did was encourage Accies to continue pressing and attacking us. This was compounded when we took Obika off, and left us with no striker. As someone else said earlier, we didn’t lose out on 6th place today, we lost it by not picking up enough points in those six home games in February. Not sure how many of the remaining 5 matches we will win ... We started off without a striker - in fact we have played most of the season without a striker.

saint in exile Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I can't understand why we weren't right up in their faces from the off. It was a game we had to win. We couldn't rely on what the Fakes might do. Instead it was the usual cautious approach, and that's down to Goodwin just cost the club a truckload of dosh.

Smithers Jones Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Absolutely no surprise that we didn't make top 6. We had a chance but we've won once in the last 8 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 For all the good things Goodwin has done, he’s not had a settled forward line and that has cost us. Settled defence but too much chopping and changing in attack @faraway saint sniffs dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldfellow Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Quite simply not good enough. Obika and Erwin were poor. Happy to see the back of both but I think Erwin has another year of his contract to run. I reckon if Dennis and Brophy had been playing we would have won that well. Tell Doyle Hayes his contract extension offer is withdrawn and don't offer another one to Dylan Connelly. Neither bring much to us. Unfortunately we also seem to be stuck with McAllister for another season as well. The rest can form the nucleus of a good team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Just to check, would you say we are having a bad season?No not at all, a good season imo(by our standards), an average season by Motherwell, Killie,St J Standards teams we think we are better and bigger than(Fake Saints for example) when in reality we are smaller and poorer than the 3 i mentioned.

southsidebud Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Gutted. As soon as St Johnstone scored I was certain we were going to drop the points. Don't think we can finish bottom but a convoluted set of results can leave us in the playoff spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northstbuddie Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 It's easy to be negative after a result like this - even if it was so predictable. However, there is so much to be thankful for and hopeful about the future. There's not a lot wrong with our defence and midfield and we have some of the best young prospects in the country. JG has made huge improvements since he took over but we have been handicapped this season by injuries to players who could have improved our goal scoring potential. And for once - we are not facing the prospect of relegation - at least not just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not that far behind them and if Dennis had been fit, we'd have taken that 6th spot a couple of weeks back. Those are the fine margins at this level. If we didn't shite it as Ibrox we wouldn't have lost 3 goals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

party politics Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 2 minutes ago, FPA said: Just to check, would you say we are having a bad season? All depends on what you count as success or failure, if success is avoiding a relegation scrap we should just about manage that. Midfield and forward has had no continuity or style of play for the majority of the season. As someone else has pointed out we have actually only played well in a handful of games all season. We have a manager who spends to much time worrying about the opposition rather than letting them worry about us. Our "success" this season has been built solely on our very reliable goalkeeper and the defence. We have turned JDH from a box to box midfielder into a very average holding midfielder and you could probably say the same about Ethan beside him. Durmus is asked one week to play as a wing back then the next a winger is it any wonder he looks lost at times. The least said about the right hand side of midfield the better, where Connolly and McAllister compete most weeks to see who can run about the most and contribute nothing to the team. We have a multitude of forwards and for me, they all fall into the "mehh" category, oh for a Somner, McDougall, McAvennie... sorry showing my age. Finally we have a manager that overthinks everything and seems scared to take risks and today was another perfect example of this. To summarise I feel sorry for the guys at the back, but going forward that is not a top six team i'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
