Popular Post westenclosure2008 805 Posted October 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2022 I’ve been one of Gio’s biggest critics lately but have to say he deserves credit for today. He got a reaction today and I thought we were really good for the full 90 minutes. Could’ve been a lot more today. A really positive day all round and puts to bed any talk about the players downing tools. Maybe questions to be asked about why that’s the first we’ve seen that level of intensity this season but it was great just to enjoy the football for a change. Well done Gio and well done to the players. That’s now the benchmark for the rest of the season.

LegendofCoop 18,125 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Just back from a week away so missed today's game/result. Really happy with the win obviously, but that we did that after going behind is even more pleasing. We can blame the boss for all of our woes, as he picks the team. However, the players at some point need to stand up and be counted. Glad it happened today.....hopefully the start of a good run!

Popular Post westenclosure2008 805 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2022 The intensity of our play was the biggest plus for me. Even at 3-1 and 4-1 we didn’t let up. Hopefully this is a turning point for us. hammer93, Goofy The Scot, ayrshireranger and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofy The Scot 699 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Best performance this season for me, we were in their faces from the word go, never let up for the full 90 mins......... where the hell has this been hiding? Only sour note was yet more injuries at the back CraigRangers9, The No.9, crabbit247 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
five stars 1,767 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The last two games he's actually picked teams that made sense with the players available. But too many times this season he's had bewildering selections and tactics. JograBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree you do need to wonder why we haven’t played like that from the start but I had doubts that he couldn’t get that out of the players. The biggest worry was that the players weren’t willing to try for the manager. They couldn’t have put more in today. If we’re going to give him stick for the bad performances then we need to give him credit for the good ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitshillBear 1,552 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 We're half a team right now. Walter would struggle with the injuries we have. Gio is conservative but he isn't incompetent. One Jock Wallace and ayrshireranger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio is conservative but he isn't incompetent. Definitely a fair point, and makes todays performance all the more impressive against the 3rd best team in the league. We essentially have an entire team out injured at the moment - Yilmaz, Goldson, Helander, Souttar, Ofoborh, Jack, Kamara, Hagi, Lawrence, Roofe - 10 players from our first team out injured simultaneously......... that's fucking crazy.

KingKirk 26,501 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 That's the standard and that's why we all get frustrated this group of players have it in them to produce those levels consistently. For whatever reason it just doesn't happen often enough since 55. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixonRFC 1,586 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Genuinely can't believe Goodwin saw us struggle to break teams down and came out all guns blazing going man for man at the back, we'll always look good if we get that kinda space, he actually thought he could come down and take the game to us 😄 arsehole.

JimmyCR1 1,566 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Aberdeen opened up and we were able to play football. We seem to struggle against the teams that have ten men in the box, our problems never really been against teams that play. The No.9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weirdly started leaving big gaps through the middle a while after they scored and it eventually lead to a Sakala chance and then the Colak goal, not sure why they changed shape because we weren’t too great to begin with imo. After that we did push on a dominate through out right enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I was very happy with our performance and glad to see GVB get some breathing space but as good as we were it must be said Goodwin was our star man, he set his team up for a pumping and completely underestimated us,he was naive and arrogant in equal measures.
