guinness Posted July 19, 2024 Report Posted July 19, 2024 Not a great performance. Two full backs looked alright. Gogic not great but will imp rove. Boy Smith looked very slow. Big lad but slow. Fraser was awful. I know this is hobby horse of mine but he must not Be in the starting eleven. Looks completely done. Olysa nyo apart forwards looked verypoor. Mandro n barely got a kick. Hopefully this was just a pre season run out and we will improve. Not sure why so many full time players look so lacking in fitness. Will need a huge improvement for Thur sday. Quote

Forgot to mention Iocovitty lasted six minutes and went off with what looked like a hamstring injury . See you at Christmas. Quote
northstbuddie Posted July 19, 2024 Author Report Posted July 19, 2024 No one played badly but no one stuck out either. The former academy boys (Taylor and Sutherland) were every bit as good as the players they replaced, but I would be surprised if they will get much chance to prove their worth as the season progresses. Lacovitti came on during the second half but only lasted 5 minutes and came off injured with what looked like a pulled hamstring. Perhaps Robbo knows his starting eleven for next Thursday but this wasn't obvious based on tonight's performances. Quote
portmahomack saint Posted July 19, 2024 Report Posted July 19, 2024 Don't do friendlies myself but my brother just off the phone. To say he wasn't impressed with any the new signings is probably a understatement he's a good judge of a player having played at a good level. Said only Rooney looked OK when he came on... Said the best players we're our own players and young players Personally as I said I don't do friendlies the time to judge a player is when it matters.. Quote

guinness Posted July 19, 2024 Report Posted July 19, 2024 One strange new tactic. At goal kicks Gogic rolls the ball across the six yard box and the goalkeeper kicks it aimlessly up the park normally to the other side. Very odd. Early days but unconvinced by goalkeeper. Quote

Be interesting to see how ready Iacovitti is for a match. Rooney too as he looked a bit off the pace last week. Lacovitti? Around four minutes and he's injured. A bit disconcerting given his track record. As for the game. A wee bit of a damp squib. Rooney looked better when he came on. T took his goal well but we're still passing the ball sideways and too slowly for my liking. I think, on the evidence of this, plus the Valur game, the Icelanders are favourites in my book.

stlucifer Posted July 20, 2024 Report Posted July 20, 2024 Oh. Something else. Is anyone else concerned about our new number 1? He looked suspect at both goals and didn't fill me with confidence throughout. This might be the season we look to Urminsky. Quote
elvis Posted July 20, 2024 Report Posted July 20, 2024 In the first half against Morton he was outstanding . Quote
Ethan Posted July 20, 2024 Report Posted July 20, 2024 Yet to be convinced by any of our pre season displays. We dont look fit enough and we have some questionable tactics. This nonsence with Gogic and the keeper is amateurish Quote

Goalie didn’t impress either. Unless a vast improvement by Thursday, fear an early exit. Hoping for much better though. 🤞🤞 Quote
