The Hammer 11 2,643 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It looked to me at times today that the team and players weren't firing on all cylinders and i think a large part in this is the lack of a pre season meaning the players haven't quite gelled,some of the crosses and passes just seemed to be a few yards out now i think once we get another two or three games under our belts we are due to dismantle a team possibly hitting double figures,we could have done this today if we were a bit sharper ,onwards and upwards !

mrmytto 220 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I wouldn't usually think this sort of thing, but I'd rather we didn't hit double figures and completely humiliate the other teams in the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 When we punt high balls, play slow football and give the opposition time to reorganise, we are terrible quite frankly.When we get the ball down, up the tempo and get in the faces of the opposition, we look far better.Ally needs to send the players out with the intention to do the latter from the start, that doesn't seem to be happening.

SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,910 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I am expecting 1 or 2 results that reach double figures but not that often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayq81 231 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Its early days yet and its clear that we will get better, good score today and I still think the opposition got away lightly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana100 335 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We grow into the game today, with one major exception Wallace. He didn't want to be there, that is obvious. He'll not do himself any good if his head goes down.N/S Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB 599 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 With a bit more luck and a more competant referee we could have hit 10 today, that added with Sandoza being Sandaza, he will come good but lord there were times today he looked like Ally McCoists early days at Ibrox.

jimmy millar 107 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Against a side who offered little up front,we still managed to look defensively unsure.This needs sorted soon,or better teams will hurt us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,481 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We are effectively just completing our pre season now. Most of our players have had a decent amount of training, but virtually no game time. Some haven't even had a decent amount of training. I wouldn't expect us to be firing on all cylinders for another 2 or 3 weeks yet. As for hitting double figures....lets not run before we can walk, yeah?

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yes we do seem to come out the traps slowly.Once we get motering though and keep ot on the deck we are away.But I hope we start a lot sharper at Berwick.Boca was caught cold today, and the guy turned him. Need to be ready from the off ,as some of our guys are still tying their boot laces when the game kicks off.Wakey wakey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbblue 167 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Double figures.....in all honesty.....I don't think we will go unbeaten never mind get double figures.....at times we are too casual and switching off....Boca, Goian and Broadfoot have all looked off the pace at times and crucially these teams have cashed in on these opportunities.....every game is a cup tie to them..being casual and under estimating will be our weakness Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
