Tis why they got so much joy in middle of the park. Said that today, that midfield of ours was far too lightweight and couldn't cope with the numbers in the middle. Caley were pish, a stuffy big physical team with next to no skill at all. They made it difficult for us by picking up second balls and pressuring us to make loose passes, a better team capitalises on those mistakes.

I can't recall any other game where that's happened this season Fans moan about losing games and that possession means nothing. Manager changes tactics and win with lower possession and fan(ny) complains Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Poor performance possibly the worst of the season but we dug out 3 pts . I have seen that happen before over many years . We are short in midfield with no physical presence. Hopefully that will be dealt with during next transfer window . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering what the deal is with MoH is aswell, starts a few games, plays well 2 and not so well in the third and then drops right out the equation. Yes - stupid autocorrect I meant "undroppable". I agree with your point about MOH - something tells me the gaffer has his favourites and he's not one of them. His subs today again did not improve our performance. The stubborn streak is still there. We can't be happy with a slump, three good games then pish again it's not consistent enough to win anything tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The win is always welcome & a bloody sight better than the alternatives. But we can't go on scraping by, which is what we've done in all but 4 games this (league) season. Except we seem to be making a habit of it, while our immedite rivals seem to be flakier than us. Maybe we can...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Think this is the norm. Good performance...terrible performance. Our players lack consistency. Not sure who will show up... but Fod has (generally) been excellent. For Dec 31... we're in with more than a shout. When we play well... we'll take that mob.

No energy in midfield, no-one willing to play off Garner, pass accuracy was embarrassing. If it wasn't for Fod then we'd be humped. ICT deserved to win that game, I've no idea how we've came away with 3 points. Stupid us for thinking we'd turned a corner and the momentum was with us, how dare we expect a convincing win at home to bottom of the league Inverness. They better buck their ideas up for Wednesday or it'll be a defeat and god help us if we show up next Saturday playing like that :anguish: Can't blame the manager, the players didn't look interested minus Fod, Hill and Kiernan It was piss poor, shoot me down in flames, but halliday, Holt, windass, forrester, tavernier, waghon, garner and mckay widnae get in the doors to Polish the boots in the 90s Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misteral 2,932 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 As many have said, it was an embarrassing performance. But these days I'll take any three points and move on with fingers crossed we get a win v STJ and something worth watching. The players and team as a whole are up and down like the proverbial yoyo and it's doing our nuts in. The midfield need an overhaul and they should all be dropped. As soon as Rossiter's fit enough to play he should walk straight into the team. He's got to be better than what we seem to have, On Wednesday I'd start McKay, Burt and Windass with any three from five up front and see what happens. Anything would be better than today Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fod was excellent and saved us as he has a good few times this season we just didn't match them at all an our subs made little difference to the play as they constantly gave the ball away. Hope Wallace is okay and its more a knock than a hamstring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd break him in half if he did. Watch any game. If he is 70/30 favourite he shites it. Garner is 5ft 10 and when he is 10/90 to get it he still goes for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he played through the middle with St Johnstone whereas we use him as a winger. It does make me wonder why sign a player and put him in a position that isn't his best. His problem is he does the same movement time after time. Run wide and batter it low across the box. Same every time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
