That’s a good win for us on the face of it. Didn't realise that until my youngest boy pointed it out just before kick off. Made me worry a bit to be honest, hence the reason even a one nil feels like a great result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew we'd be tired and played for a 0-0 anyway. I'm more than happy we just found a way to win. Yeah very happy to get that win today. Games like today cost us last season. Being unable to break down sides with everyone behind the ball. Hopefully we've got the consistency now to keep breaking these sides down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsofWar 549 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 They played most of the game without any intention of actually trying to play football and barely changed anything even after we scored. I can't stand hearing that cretin Craigan on BT just about creaming his pants whenever one of their 10 defenders launched the ball 70 yards into our empty half of the pitch whenever they got a sniff of the ball and then lauding it as if it was a remarkable piece of artistry. Obviously this isn't a new thing but i hate seeing these team's purposely try to make these games as bad as possible to watch and don't care that fans - including their own - have paid good money and travelled to watch a game of football. They don't want anybody to be entertained, and then they wonder why nobody watches our league. This needs to stop being applauded and idiots like Sutton and Craigan need to shut up and fuck right off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Rolle 514 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 StM executed their game plan well though and have started the season better than expected - so nobody can blame Godwin’s tactics. I don’t think the fans care if the football is entertaining so long as they get results. Same with us, right? Walter took a lot of criticism back in the 9iar era, but he or we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more than one sect of the Christian religion that bless themselves and from the region he comes from there is a fair chance he's Orthodox, not that it really matters. Just enjoy the lead up to him crossing himself; Free Kick, Barisic's left foot strikes ball, Ball in top corner of goal, 1-O to Rangers Which all ends up with us getting 3 points, just enjoy it!

MasterD 7,430 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It’s always going to be difficult to break down teams that set out to defend and frustrate but the speed of our passing especially in midfield makes it harder. Taking 3-4 touches to pass or making 3-4 passes to get from player A to B when it could be done with 1 or 2 if the players were a bit quicker would help us. We take so long that anytime space opens or the opposition are out of position they get enough time to get back into shape and close gaps. Hopefully King gets up to speed and maybe adds a bit more from an attacking sense in these types of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
