devref 201 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Only one failure today. Nicky Law. He is hiding. Brushed off ball too easy and doesn't tackle. McC needs to have a word in his ear.agreed what's he up to running at players then stopping 10/15yds short of them he has also made a point of avoiding contact with opposition players and yet managed to get hurt by a team mate.!!

McC needs to have a word in his ear.Thought he had a good first half apart from his crossing of the ball, second half he went back to his usual standard of invisibility.

Malvern 11,329 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 According to some, we played poorly today, we only won because Hibs were keech. We broke up the play, played anti-football, got lucky, played the Masonic/Orange Referee card, dived, cheated and otherwise did nothing to deserve a victory. Just check out the usual forums for confirmation.Excellent, that must mean we played really well and hardly looked like losing the game. The Beast from the East and the tiny timmies won't like it but who gives a flying f*ck about them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Wallace and McGregor will have sore legs this morning The shift that pair put in up and down the flanks yesterday was incredible. Energy we haven't seen from our players in years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm really a fan of the pressing game. There was a few times where the opposition were pressed into making mistakes, and if you give them less time on the ball then, inevitably, they are not going to be able to do as much with it. I saw team spirit yesterday as well, and that has not always been the case this season either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energy we haven't seen from our players in years.Agreed, and Miller as well Alan. There was a move they made in attack where Kenny tracked back into a defensive space that allowed the defence to mark players. There was a real desire yesterday that run through the side.

I saw team spirit yesterday as well, and that has not always been the case this season either.This is what we should have been doing since we went into the bottom division.You basically bring it down to a level of who has the best players.Poor players can look like superstars when they aren`t under pressure.Most teams have looked better against us this season because they have pressed us and we have sat off them.

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 On a side note, I'd love if Neil McCann was involved some way in the new set up, McCall Black and McCann would be a good team imo, the man always speaks sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIE8CH 296 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Better performance all over the pitch yesterday.in saying that Nicky law needs a kick up the arse to get him motivated again. And another point a few haters lost money backing the bheasts from Edinburghs east. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsox1 1,361 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Well said.Which has been worsened by the fitness we are clearly lacking.We have never looked fitter than the opposition since we played in the bottom division. We looked stronger in the last 20 mins there in a lot of games.( not all )Ever since we have looked totally unfit. This isn`t by chance though. Hearts and hibs have both been working far harder than us in preseason. They both had their teams hammering training. I have no doubt that if we had and had someone at the helm with half a brain we would have won this league. I still think we have better players.( I know that might sound daft ) Hearts and hibs both pressed us and that was the difference in games.I actually don`t think Hearts have ever looked a far better footballing team against us.They just work harder. They also work harder in all their other games which counts just as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
