***** The Official Champions v Ross County Match Thread *****

[El-Hadji Spit RFC 756]

Expected more from Sakala… but will take the 3 points n shut ma gub!

[TEFTONG 61,398]

Delighted with the 3 points.

No happy at the lack of goals after we got the 4th.

Defending needs to improve.

But 4 points clear of the filth and hoping all our players comeback from the International break injury free and raring to go.

We're only getting away with it because they are so pIsh IMO.

Mate wtf? I know you're desperate for Patterson to play, many of us are but what shred of evidence is there than Patterson can play CH?!

It has nothing to do with Patterson and everything to do with Bassey not being a CH. Patterson is NOT a CH either.

I get irked when we concede. Fuck Nigeria! Balogun should have stayed on (unless he was carrying a knock)

Kent, Bacuna and Jack being back positives

Defending and taking our foot off the gas with half an hour to go not good enough

Agreed many positives to be taken from the game. Our killing off of a game is just as suspect as our defending

[kaiser1041 9,107]

That tarrier scum bastard Callahan kicked everyone and got away with it all day long

I think in fairness, we’ve a LB at CB and a RB at LB for the goal. It’s sloppy, but when you fuck about with stuff like that it’s bound to happen. 

No buying the out of position stuff.  Awareness of players around you and sloppy half arsed football at the back makes us easy to cut open. It’s a problem 

[hawkfalcons 2,400]

Happy with win  and top of the table but ffs that's 4 goals we have lost  to that lot not good enough

Genuinely worried about you.

Sakala played well. A constant nuisance .

[superallysbears 8,230]

Big hellander should make a difference when he's back, hopefully not too long to weight for him some time in December.

[LaaRFC 4,993]

Attacking play looked really good at times. Plus the 2 Ryan’s being back is great. 
 

Oppositon teams are fucking clinical against us another game where they have 2 shots on target, 2 goals. Their 2nd doesn’t concern me massively though. Patterson at LB and Bassey at CB at that stage purely to protect Balogun.

Thanks👍

[shaka 1,839]

Things feel a bit more positive right now.  We've got key players back and now look to have players capable of scoring all over the pitch.  The defence looks shaky but hopefully Helander will be back soon or we bring in some reinforcements in the transfer window.  Other than the defence I liked the way we were set up today, more fluid going forward with good movement from the attacking players.

And  long may they continue to play pish, but we defo need to up our game 

[Malkytfp1 19,702]

Sakala can't play as the main striker for me. Far more effective running the channels and cutting inside.

[Sunglasses Ron 2,655]

We should have buried that team by 6 or 7 but as posters have said more positives than negatives today. I can’t remember the last time we took so many shots on goal which was also good to see.

FFS mate. Should Dundee be scoring 2 against the scum?

I wish we would stop getting ex players on as commentators tbh. There’s bound to be better options 

I actually like Andy Little, but I agree with you. Some of them are atrocious, but I guess they're cheap or just work for booze. 

[crabbit247 805]

I'll take that today. Still no happy wi the cb's but thats not gonna change by all accounts. 

Going forward we looked dangerous the whole game. Sakala seems to be getting better game by game. Aribo looked much more like himself today. Bacuna surprised me today, hope he can push on. 

Ryan Kent being back is massive and if that's Ryan Jack back as well, I think we are in a much better place than we were 2 3 weeks ago. And the good thing is we managed to stay clear at the top over last few weeks. 

A lot of them looked good today. Watching the replays of the goals, if the scorer didn't shoot there were good options available as well.  I'll take that for a Sunday.

😂 if you want to moan atleast moan about something relevant like the shambolic goals we concede rather than highlighting that a player who played well might be shite in your opinion.  

[delparlane 6,010]

Thought Aribo’s goal was real quality, although probably should have been kept out if they’d been sharp in minding the far post. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

Happy enough with that.

Good to see us shooting whenever we get close to goal.

 

[bluenoz 32,558]

!/3 of the season played and 4 points clear. That will do me fine going into yet another international break.

[MasterD 7,457]

Much better attacking play in the last 2 league games since adding some pace in the front 3.

The pace and quicker movement also helps the midfield get the ball forward a bit quicker.

Conceding poor goals though. The opposition never seem to need many chances to score a goal.
