santaponsasaint Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Absolute shocking performance. I was in the main stand, and people were laughing at us. Playing against guys who were at there work all day and still had more energy than these prima donnas. There's at least 4 players in that team who are no where good enough. But well done to Luke Kenny and Lewis Jamieson [emoji122] especially the latter who had a decent game when he came on.

beyond our ken Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 I thought the energy and urgency of the front players improved with the addition of the subs, especially jamieson and Grieve. The goal was taken well considering that Olusanya was like a coo wi' a gun up to that point Positioning and movement were our problems, the midfield didn't cover themselves in glory and just passed into space for the first hour and that wasn't helped by the fact that none of the forwards were working hard enough to shake their markers or link up with each other. Grieve did well, but it's a worry that it took him to make our front line look organised or capable. There is no excuse for us not winning the physical battle early on, they competed man-to-man with us right up until around 50 minutes. After that it was the subs and fitness that saved us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gives a flying f**k about fans of a club a few tiers below us having a well deserved laugh? Were they laughing when we achieved top six last season? So we were shite last night, just like we were at the start of last season, and no doubt will be too at some point during this season. It's part and parcel of supporting a club like ours. They are way more good things happening at this club just now than bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the game, so I cannot comment on how well we played, but it sounds like their keeper played extremely well and, as a team, they raised their game, which is only to be expected. I agree with Robbo, we were on a hiding to nothing - these ties are a potential banana skin, just consider the Aberdeen game v Darvel. Personally, I'm just relieved that we got the goal and won the game. We are still early in the season, and I think it's commendable that we ground out the result. Was it the best of performances? Probably not, but we won the game. I don't think we should be too hard on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W6er Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 A bit premature, perhaps, but when's the draw for the next round? It's due to be played on: Weekend of August 19/20 (four weeks on Saturday). Source: https://spfl.co.uk/pages/league-cup-format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Saint Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 One of last season’s best runners up got through with 8 points At least 2 and possibly 3 teams (including Forfar) going out with 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
