Shootinfishin 93 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Anyone know who the Invisble winger is and why he didn't seem to be able to latch onton any of the balls passed to him, despite being in acres of space? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 72,853 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Well in that regard Templeton was a huge miss but we have to be able to handle life without him as he has a history of picking up knocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The entire midfield was amiss with the amount of times they were bypasssed with a hump. The only positives were Mcleod, Mckay and the Greek. At times they were the only three that looked for the ball, tried to get forward and make things happen. Even then it was mediocre.

In fairness to both sheils and McLeod they were played out of position...if he was wanting to keep that system ally should have started aird or Stella instead of trying to fit players into unnatural positions/tactics Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thought Black was one of our better players last night.I think our problem is pace,maybe that's down to basically having a 'new' team wherein players are unsure of the others game play.As a 'full time' team, we should be murdering any opposition over 90mins.I think Big Jig played in midfield is a mistake and we should NEVER have 1 up front at home.Last night hurt but it may be a blessing in disguise and allow us to concentrate on what's really important,the league.Having said all this,time to get the finger out Rangers.

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I thought Black was fairly industrious tooYou're probably right Maybe I was slightly harsh on him - He got pass marks for working harder than anyone else. But I'm fed up of ''industrial'' or ''hard working'' midfielders. Give me a midfield with movement, short sharp passing, pace and ability before anything else, if they happen to be 6ft plus with a bit of dig and hard work - Great Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We try to shoehorn players into a unnatural position. That was the perfect game for Stella or Aird to come in for Templeton, yet we thought we'd make young Mcleod, who played okay despite this, the tricky winger. He's a young lad - why put extra pressure on him with that set up? Although I think Alexander was rank. GIVE IT TO THE FULL BACKS!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
West_Side 1,571 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was shocked by the total lack of movement and inability to exploit space. Pass & move. That should be the first thing any footballer is taught. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be the first thing any footballer is taught.Yep, we were laboured and seemed to be unable or unwilling to break into those spaces.I think as was said, we really missed a creative player last night and at times looked like what are accused of being. A load of journeymen nobody else wanted and the kids not good enoug to attract the English scouts...Jig, black and one or two others aside.Alexander had a good game overall but does no-one else think he started very shakey apart from a good save tipped over the bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to both sheils and McLeod they were played out of position...if he was wanting to keep that system ally should have started aird or Stella instead of trying to fit players into unnatural positions/tacticsMcLeod looks like he has a nice touch, but having now seen a lot more of him, I fail to see much of the real fuss about him. Might very well turn out to be a good player, but I am far more encouraged by wee McKay.As for the bit in bold, I really, really hoped the one thing this mess may do would be putting an end to quite so much of this. Early signs were encouraging, very infact, however, it has started to regress and putting Jig in midfield is an utter disaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootinfishin 93 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 I must be about the only one that thought Black played well.Nah, I agree with you bud he put a shift in and his crosses/corners were okI noticed a wee grin on his chops too when we were singing no surrender Ian black as he was gathering the ball to take a corner up the gf end Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz92 966 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The amount of times the ball was played up the pitch to no-one - as in, no-one even there to challenge for it - was criminal. They were simply pass backs that allowed QOS to build up their play again. One of the many, many issues with last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
