stewaj3 1,446 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Was it just me or were we a lot better? We moved it about the park and made the ball do the work, which is what we should do every week?I think ian black was man of the match by a mile, I also think Wallace apart, he's been up there as one of our best players this season. I think he has a good footballing brain and I think he deserves more credit than he gets.I thought kyle Hutton helped and although he didn't do anything spectacular, where he was on the pitch allowed us to control the game. I think if he is ever going to make it though he needs to offer more going forward, not just break up play and pass the ball sideways and back the way. I do think black and law had more freedom going forward because he played.Nicky law to me was one that I thought this was a big chance but I don't think he did as much as he could have... However I don't know if part of that was down to he people beside him, daly isn't mobile enough, Gallagher and aird are kids and still have a lot to learn.I really thought tactically we seemed to dominate them from start to finish and that's how it should be. That said it was a marked improvement on some of our games recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robespierre 589 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Nicky Law was utter gash throughout the game yesterday, and has been for the last 3-4 months. He looks half the player we saw at the start of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Law was garbage. Black played well, and Hutton was less offensive on the eyes that usual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it was a marked improvement on some of our games recently.Can't disagree with any of that although I do think Lewis MacLeod is badly missed. Law is a lazy and unambitious player who just coasts. If cost cutting demands it, he and Shiels would be straight on the transfer list for me.

True Azure 1,414 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 They play better when the out ball is to the wing. The shite, hump it up to Daly, every time is so predictable that even diddy managers can shut our midfield down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Black and Hutton played well because Albion were even further back than that.They never pressed either of these players so they casually flicked the ball around under no pressure.The flip side of that was finding room to get behind them. Have you ever seen lee Waalace so quiet.It was their formation that made them look good and Wallace quiet.No need to go overboard either way tbh.

MasterD 7,435 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Personally find the midfield way too slow. No drive, no decisive passing.Black and Hutton were ok but I find them both to be quite boring players that don't do anything special. Law was his usual of late self. Ally's played him in the middle then he tried him further forward playing off the striker and he's been equally poor in both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Nicky Law was utter gash throughout the game yesterday, and has been for the last 3-4 months. He looks half the player we saw at the start of the season.It pisses me off just how back the way he has went as at the start was brilliant and bossed the midfield. I think against scumdee we may just see that player again as he is probably fed up with pish refs, opposition and watching the ball fly over his head.

EastEnclosureBear 2,919 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Black was good, Hutton was okay, Law was pish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyson1872 2,923 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Law just doesn't suit our tactics, he has to come back to the defence to pick the ball up, and when he does there is no one to pass to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy millar 107 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Have we not got one player from the under 20`s who could offer more than Hutton? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Midfield kept the ball well, but we were playing Albion Rovers who made no attempt to put pressure on the ball anywhere further than 25 yards outside their box. The tempo set by Hutton and Black was too slow and predictable. Neither played badly, but neither did anything of note creatively. Law never received the ball quick enough for me, but to be honest when he did he did nothing special. Not good enough for us long term. Hutton and Black do not work as a pair, one or the other.Hurry back Lewis Macleod! ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allcinaye 336 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 To be fair to Nicky Law he was playing at the sharp end of our midfield for most of the game which meant that he was surrounded by the opposition with one of them continuously man marking him with another two ready to back him up.It's not easy to produce fluent football when there's no room to play in.

Sander2006 50 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Nicky Law was utter gash throughout the game yesterday, and has been for the last 3-4 months. He looks half the player we saw at the start of the season.Unfortunately I think our coaching is having an effect on him (a negative one). He looked a quality player when he came in.
