Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 4 minutes ago, The Tavernator said: We usually put a lot of our chances away, hence the huge goal difference and league position. People just expect a win every single game. No club in the world is that good. Even Barca have only won 17 out of 22 league games, and they've got $100 trillion worth of players. If you can't beat Alloa, with our resources then there is a valid reason to be critical. I am still perplexed as to why we never tightened up the defence in January instead of fannying around with O'Hallaron. I am a bit concerned about Warburton, and for me the lustre is worn off. Shocking result. eejay the dj and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking result. You need to calm down a little bit. We dropped 2 points and it's the end of the world? No, alloa played to their strengths and we would have scored a number of goals if their keeper wasn't on form. Perhaps we didn't bring any defenders because there wasn't any suitable? Warburton has done everything he's been asked to, and then some. It's games like today that make Champions. The Tavernator and Amato 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the games before that when the winning margin should of been far higher. billscott, ThatNightInFlorence and Amato 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the biggest problem was the training ground tempo till be went one behind. I'd like to see more urgency for 90 minutes.

bluenoz 30,287 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Even though we have scored 66 league goals, our finishing has been poor all season with the exception of one or two games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half he was really exciting, showed us what he is capable of and I actually think small pitches don't suit his game at all. Capable of far more on big wide pitches. kaiser1041 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with narrow pitches and packed defences, if we had took our chances this game would be gone with a record score, so spare me if and buts today we failed end of.

BlueAvenger 10,004 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Too many missed chances and this is a regular occurrence. All the possession, lots of shots and corners but no end product. A draw against the bottom team is fuckin unacceptable. We have been poor in the last 4 or 5 games and we must improve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allgers 735 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I might have thought we had taken the eye of the ball with the Killie game on Tuesday but that patently wasn't the case cause we were all over them, their goalkeeper had a good game and really commanded his penalty box but it was none stop pressure from us. Is it possible we are creating too many chances, they are coming thick and fast, miss one and another will be along in a minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juniorsparkie 491 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The surprising thing about reading these posts is the fact that there goalkeeper had the audacity to play well. Everyone knew that the journey up the Leagues would be fraught every away game the proverbial Cup Final. Its actually against the teams that've had a go, we've had the better results. Jimmy Nichol stated yesterday that they wanted to walk the Ba intae the net, nae guile from midfield apart from the Holt chance. Their manager stated they'd brought the pitch in previously only to help them defend, certainly worked yesterday. It's not a disaster, could've been worse with other results, but certainly food for thought. No aerial threat going forward isn't a killer but it certainly limits what can be created, you want every avenue of attack available to you.

What we did do was come up against a team that was set up to defend and counter. We had ample chances to score more goals but their keeper was outstanding yesterday. Should we have been more clinical? Absolutely, did the narrower pitch cause us any undue issues? I don't think so. As it stands we have the best goal difference in the UK. I don't think we have very much to worry about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
