Dutchy 1,200 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 looking at some of the results from the English and Scottish cup games, we did really well to get the win, albeit a shite 1st half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 McKay made the difference the same as he did last year when he used to come off the bench. In the 1st half though you could see the difference compared to the Airdrie game ie Nicky Law and Jon Daly not playing tonight.1st half reminded me of last seasons games. What a difference it's going to make when we have the full team to pick from. Blumhoilann 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 So September 7th next round against the holders with us having a full squad bring it on.Sure it will be Sunday KO at 4pm. ALBA have that slot scheduled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Bazza played well when he came on he is still young and learning, thought we were pretty poor but thought the two in the middle did ok. Also for people saying temps was poor i think you have to remember he was coming back from lengthy injury, the talent will always be there as you saw from the goal that should have stood on friday, he was just understandably off the paceMcKays just back from Injury and had less game time than Templeton but shows he has the desire to work his arse off for the team.If Templeton looked like he could be arsed he would not be criticised so much.

scarkev 3,540 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just reading this thread walking home and I do have to laugh at some posters trying to make an argument that ally making an overdue substitution is some kind if vindication of his managerial ability! Wasn't a particularly good performance but you have to say job done....I thought our shape in the first half was all wrong....we had no width or structure and it seemed like we were struggling to make a forward pass successfully....I just don't understand the logic in playing a CB at rb especially when ally goes with this type of midfield where we have no natural width. Templeton and sheils were poor but I thought on the plus side Macleod and black were very good and energetic throughout!The positives to take from tonight for me was a great wee rendition of Wolverhampton town and a good impact from wee Barrie....but we have to improve our shape and game plan and we can't keep relying on our full backs to provide the width every game!Although not unexpected the crowd was pretty disappointing tonight! I'm not going to go over the same argument again but whilst there are many fans who can't attend for a variety of reasons I think whilst these illegal stream exist many fans will be lazy and choose not to go which ultimately damages the club long term.....

gmcf 34,152 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 One of the pleasing aspects in all this are how some of the players that were ' quiet ' last season are starting to come out their shell. Black, who I thought had another good game, we've mentioned. But Fauré is quietly becoming an effective player for us. I thought one of our top players tonite as well as playing well in previous games. Same can be said for Crawford. With the two of them being young , they could become big players for us in a couple of years. Blumhoilann 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Ian Black what is the difference? He's looked so much better and even tonight without The Law Man he still was one of our best players, is he eating a different breakfast cereal or has he just fully settled at Rangers? Whatever it is its working and I hope he keeps it up Blumhoilann 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare it to Shiels who you hardly saw. The criticism is extremely harsh imo. How exactly can you claim from a 15 minute period in a game that Mckay is more willing to work his ass off?

Smile 26,600 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 McKay has had more game time, he's had a few games with the youth team to build up his fitness.Templeton's played more first team games than him and featured in the Friendlies, so that cant be right.Desire and commitment are something stopping Templeton from being the player he could be.

I think he should stay out wide either as part of a front 3 or in a midfield 4.... 8watp8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
