scott12003 715 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 said it at half time team set up wrong yeah our players might get a result with their quality whoever the opposition but add in a one off game away from home against a bunch of taigs who are playing their biggest ever game we should have set up better it was a disaster from start to finish players play but a manager picks a team we did not play as a team tonight a team has players in a set roll working to carry out whatever tactics are coached we had none of that nevermind some poor performances from players a team coached and playing in their rolls can get away with a few players being off if!

molesmole 1,119 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just now, The Socrates. said: That's probably fair actually. Fir me the issue was starting Bassey, that is what has cost us the end. I posted the same mate. The big decision was to start him, it didn't go well. Next big decision was to hook him at half time, let him stay on and we conceed again. The young lad had a very poor first half, then was allowed to make it worse at the start of the second. Needed his team mates to dig him out it was nearly but not our night. Said for a while I dont really trust Balogun, heads a lot of stuff back into the danger area centrally, having him and Bassey on that side weakens us too.much.. Sicker. Shite days on the way till we beat well* at the weekend. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren were on a good run of form, it’s an away cup game and we need silverware- you don’t fuck about. I'm sure pre-match hardly anyone was protesting about the team when it was announced. Should have had more than enough to blow away fucking St Mirren. No-one saw that pish performance being offered up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes players should get called out for every shitty performace. Tav as the biggest example, many (myself included) couldn't see him as a successful captain, but thus far this season he has fucked me right over. Any 11 player we put on the pitch tonight, with thte right attitude and performance would have won the game. SG made the changes some of the players didnt turn up.

If our full backs can't get forward our whole system and team falls apart. Creativity is shite when Zungu is in there. Should be relegated to the reserves until we are really struggling. Poor signing so far. Aribo has transformed from a bright shining light to a wet paper towel with that injury. Really shite now and needs pulled to find form. Arfield struggled with our midfield and theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,385 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Absolutely pathetic performance tonight. Fucked a great chance to win silverware. Felt like every frailty from last year rolled into one tonight. Didn’t ever look like winning and conceding right after an equaliser is sickening. I think too many in this sqaud thought it was just turn up and win. We simply can't do that no matter who it is in Scotland you have battle for the right to win. Now we see what the players are made of. We've had our first major setback. We have to bounce back st the weekend and beat motherwell convincingly.

Especially how well they've been playing alongside Arfield recently. Kamara in there allows the left back to get up the pitch and I don't think Bassey got out his own half once but he shouldn't have started anyway. Our club are boasting that Kamara, Barisic etc are worth X amounts of money yet they don't start in the biggest game of the season to date. Mental.

bassettger 378 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Truly awful performance all over the pitch. Cannot find a single good word about any of that from my team tonight. if you don't take your chances (we did not have lots but we had a few) and defend so poorly from front to back that's what can happen. The goals we lost were very poor and you don't often win football matches if you concede 3. First goal Ryan Kent gives the ball away just outside our box and Bassey gets caught out. Third goal Kamara gives the ball away also just outside our box and it leads to the corner and the subsequent poor defending. Second goal poor defending from Bassey and the centre-backs. Losing the ball in your own half can be fatal and is something good teams don't do. We managed it twice tonight. Does not give you a warm cosy feeling that this team have the drive to succeed and once again when a game is going against us the manager does not look competent to change it. He looked like a rabbit in the headlights in the second half and his many changes looked more like panic than planning. On the odd occasion try something different please Steven. For example he could have switched Tavernier into midfield and moved one of the ineffectual midfielders to right back, probably Aribo, to see if he could drive us forward from the middle. He was having no joy from right back. Very disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
