DougJamie Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 I am not in this win camp either.. 2 nil up early and then couple of shots after shows total lack of hunger and respect to tourne and fans...its not about Cowdenbeath its about laying markers... have to say including Hibs no prem side looks any good so far and be usual 2 for title 1 and 9 fodder split...Hearts being 1 nailed on for 3rd...product appalling... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be dismissed asap regardless of any economic consequences. Whoever gave him the job ought to be ashamed. Should have appointed Dick Campbell...his team can cruise even when he is on one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 0-2 win against Cowdenbeath, one of the worst teams in Scotland and you're happy. The other two teams in our group scored 3 against them. Ach, if you're happy that's fine, if the rest if the teams in our league are the same standard as Cowdenbeath we'll be in with a shout of Champions League football. You’re now telling me which results I should be pleased with. Supporting the beloved buddies has always been a mixed bag. Are we so brilliant that we can take for granted a 2-0 victory against the Blue Brazil having already lost to Arbroath? Sure, it could have been more but there you go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suggest that having assessed the bigger picture I concluded that a win was much preferable to the alternative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super gunni Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Having gave time to digest yesterday's result am very worried indeed, that performance against lets be honest a pub team is absolutely criminal, thae lack of depth and threat in midfield and shots on target is not acceptable, and dont tell me wait for main and brophy to come back as one never fit and one shit..so il say it on record that this team is relegation certainties, hopefully this new boy baccus a player because believe me we need him..another shit season awaits..my opinion only 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Texting has a lot to answer for as far as the written word is concerned. That being said, I'm also concerned about the lack of service into the box and our ability to actually shoot at goal. I can't see the introduction of one extra new player and the reintroduction of Main and/or Bropphy improving our fortunes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBIONSAINT Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 I wonder if Saint Johnstone will be sacking there manager after the league cup run? Anyway I was at the game yesterday and it had the feel of a preseason run out about it. Cowdenbeath have had a couple of heavy defeats prior to this game and got everyone behind the ball making it very difficult to play through (think stmirren v Celtic Covid game) when it matters, saints will come good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday's performance was dreadful and I don't care if the pitch was poor or if there was only one ball to play with. I've been at all the games and was really quite hopeful after the two Belfast games but we seem to be regressing as the season progresses. Deep down the manager must be concerned despite what he says. Yesterday was an opportunity to get enough goals to make a runner up qualification a possibility and we blew it big time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History has told me not to read too much into these preseason/preleague games..I've seen us win all our preseason games in the past, then going into the league we can't win a game, I've seen us having a poor preseason and we start the league well The real business starts when we face Motherwell then we can all have a right good moan about relegation or start the hype of a top four finish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think several questions were answered in terms of playing Grieve wide and our central defensive partnership. Offord needs more time in the first team to understand how he fits in to the front line. We won comfortably in circustances where a fiery pitch and a strong physical challenge from the opposition could have easily resulted in injuries, so it was good to avoid that. Cowden were indeed very stuffy and more tenacious than expected which probably made players still chasing full fitness a little wary Overall I cant complain abut what I saw. The next couple of games offer an opportunity to run up high scores and with a couple of competitive games under our belts then we can expect more from the side against Airdrie and Edinburgh. It is clear that the manager considers the LC group stage as a part of the close-season build up, I don't agree with that but he is an experienced manager and i understand how he formed that view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Never seen the game, but my word these stats make for grim reading: Two shots on target against a team of teenagers from the Lowland League? Huge improvement needed, quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
