Something I noticed tonight

[K.A.I 36,183]

And before anyone says "o rly mongo' because it was 5-0, I noticed it early in and game and even at 1-0 - I thought we were a lot more direct tonight.

It was probably the couple of changes in personel but it was better to see for me.

Also I know it's only Peterhead, but there was still a difference in the directness tonight than there was against East Stirling, Annan and Stranraer before this.

I don't think big Dodoo had an amazing game to be honest, but again, like East Stirling, when he's playing I feel he offers us something different upfront and prime example being the 2 goals he's scored for us. He's a lot more readily available in the box for cut-backs and a bit of an outlet in general.

I think we should do something similar against Dundee away next week too. Same team and set-up except with Wallace and Fod back in (and with all due respect to Gilks and Hodson)

The more direct approach suits us a lot better,

Front 6 that started must go again Saturday

[Siam69 26,863]

Post I made in the match thread about this, wanting more direct -

Hope so, lots of possession, not direct enough with no end product far too much, then the other team scores from their one shot on goal from a defensive mistake. That was a lot last season, same last Saturday. 

I find myself screaming 'shoot ffs' loads of times. Frustrating. 

[rfc1990 1,140]

Would you bring Mckay back in for Saturday?

[soulboy 2,518]

I also thought for the 1st time in a while we played at slower pace but weren't struggling like we normally do when the majority of game is just above walking pace.

[Garnock Blue 316]

I would lrt him cool his heels

[Jack The Flipper 5,936]

We were direct because it was peterhead we were playing against, better teams are better at breaking things up and making it difficult to be direct.

Hopefully though, it is merely the new team needing sharpness, fitness and to gel that's making us a bit too indecisive with poor decision making.

You can see players coming on to a game, I mean Dodoo was excellent tonight - very impressed.

Rossitter great again, his posture reminds me of barry ferguson

Dodoo made several cut backs / one touch passes in the first half that wee Holt would have ran onto (if Holt plays exact same as he did last season... where he constantly ran into opponents box). Would like to see them both on a full game together.

You are right about Wallace and Fod being on... but McKay will also start.

I would. Think him on the left with O'Hal on the right would give us great pace and trickery.

Would prob start Nico, but if he is not up to pace, replace with Forrester.

Great headache to have.

[bluenoz 30,682]

Well Kranjcar's corner was more direct. Need to see more of that. I'm not a big fan of the short corners all the time.

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

It's amazing what can happen when you have players who want to drive at the defence. We looked different when Forrester came on on Saturday.

[kaiser1041 9,088]

Midfield 3 seemed to move the ball a lot quicker tonight.that makes a huge difference along with the pace we now carry upfront #goodtimes

[scottyscott1963 18,208]

The one thing I took from that match apart from the scoreline was Leonard Rossiter is a fuckin star in waiting.

Who the fuck is that ?

[BridgeIsBlue 66,595]

We have brilliant pace going forward and it's frustrating as fuck when we don't use it.

But it was "only" Annan, Stranraer and East Stirling we were playing and we weren't as direct. That's my point.

Dynamism. That's what the likes of O'H, Dodoo and Forrester give that Waghorn, Miller and Mckay don't so much.

We need a better mix and MW needs to pick better teams, because sometimes we lack that dynamism when certain players are picked together.

I get the feeling MW is getting the team fit and sharp, not picking the players he would normally pick.

If he is, I wish he hadn't against Hamilton.

No I would give him a rocket up his arse . Love him but he is no 1 at the club for being very lethargic when he thinks he doesn't need to try to hard .

As I said . He needs rested and a kick in the balls . Get that attitude right

Agree with most of that other than I thought Dodoo had a great game. I think he epitomised that direct approach that we all like . Agree with your team selection though I'd start McKay for Forrester , and I'm a big Forrester fan .
