ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Well we weren't near good enough for St Johnston were we? And there is much better than them in the top division.St Johnstone are in some batch of form since beating us, Winning 5-1 at 'second best in the league' Aberdeen. We're not ready for a serious title challenge at the top but we are 100x closer after last seasons team.People need to remember we have only spent 665k this year on players and look at the difference.

Virtuoso 27,180 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Think We need to spend in January, some how. Don't think we will though. By relying on free transfers we are shopping in the same market as Hivs. They are only going to strengthen as well!Well, there's that 30 million war-chest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Need to get rid of Miller and Clarke. Waghorn needs help up there and these guys offer nothing!Just gave Miller another contact so that's not going to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,547 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Our performance was not as bad as people are making out we dominated the game just not clinical enough. We have plenty to get us through this league blindfolded. I fully expect the clinical issue to be sorted this summer. Waggy is a good player not the goal scorer we needwe will dominate games all the time though because teams know if they open up to us we will horse themwhereas give us the ball, dump 10 men behind it and watch as we struggle in the final 3rd Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,647 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 But domination doesn't mean goals, we are the best footballing side in the league but f we can't score goals it's pointless.we can score goals we just don't score enough but we score more than enough to win this league comfortably I expect we will sort this issue of scoring more goals in the summer with a natural forward Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 whereas give us the ball, dump 10 men behind it and watch as we struggle in the final 3rdDo you know of a team that haven't struggled to break down 10 men in the final third?

bluenoz 30,843 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I agree, we do need a striker. I don't think we should have offered Miller an extension since it prevents the youth from getting a chance ( Hardie, Clark ) but he certainly did okay when he came on though I don't know how he merited it ahead of Clark based on recent performances. Waghorn was poor today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Over passing at times, sometimes too slow as well, Oduwa is entertaining on his day but generally offers little.Not enough goals from the midfield or forwards apart from Holt and at times Waggy the rest rarely look like scoring Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today we created chances after chance. Keeper made a world-class save we had fresh air attempts when it looked easier to score. I just think we need to be more clinical in games.

Lothianbear 361 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I feel suprised saying this but are we missing Law.i agree as he gives us pace through the middle and at least finds a blue shirt and is a scoring threat. He's not always effective but who is just now, we need him in the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 You can have the majority of possession and still be beaten. Our passing was not up to standard today and a lot more has to be done in applying some different tactics. This trying to push through 2 lines of defenders is just not working and I feel we should be having a lot more pops at goal.Just don't let Oudwa take them!

Orange Persson 547 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Let's stay positive. I had that for a sticky game against Livi away. We need to retain our lead till we get past the signing window. Pig sick for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
writingranger 1,413 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Disappointing result but we're still a work in progress. It's probably time to mix it up a bit, try some different approaches. Perhaps rest a couple. There's no need to panic, we were always going to have a sticky patch. It's good to have it now as it informs warbs as to where we need strengthened or to have alternatives before the window. It's not a bad thing to be in a title race, it'll make the players much sharper for what lies ahead. It would be helpful to have the occasional route 1 option - a good cross & a headed goal. Especially when up against the clock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Well we weren't near good enough for St Johnston were we? And there is much better than them in the top division. you can't base a new squad on 1 game against "quality" and I use that term loosely. So much for letting players develop and become good eh? Get it in the fucking box! We bossed the stjohnstone game and 2 defensive errors and experience cost us. It's what young players do- make bad decisions now and again. The top division is definitely not quality by any means whatsoever. The European results alone tell you that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The European results alone tell you thatso what do we base a new squad on then, you say basing it on 1 game isnt allowed then base the quality of the top league on a couple of european results by less than a quarter of the leagueour players may well develop and become good, but as it stands, this season we have played 1 top level team and hibs 3 times, and we have won 2 and lost two, the rest of our opponents this season mean fuck all, hibs and st johnstone were the defining marks so far this season, and lets be honest we havent shone in them except for the 6-2 hibs game, the rest we were about average, and average wont cut it next season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The euro results for 4 years have been shite in Scotland so I'll judge the league on that. I'd like to see the result if we draw saints in February and I'll bet it's a lot better than the last meeting. I saw tons of average Rangers performances in the top division yet we still came out champions- let's face it it's an average league, as is this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
