We seem much more likely to look for a forward pass now than we ever were under van Bronkhurst. Some players have also improved individually both in terms of attitude and performance. We have also had a pretty decent run of results and the only disappointment is dropping points against the scum (which in itself is a turnaround that we were disappointed not to win rather than getting a kicking) The not so good is that we still have some glaring weaknesses. Goalkeeper is a big one, being caught with long balls/ balls over the top is another. We also lack a cutting edge and don't convert possession and chances into goals anything like as much as we should. I suspect that Beale knows there is only so much he can do with this squad (at least with the ones who are fit enough to play) and he may have already reached that plateau.

Been an issue since at least 2016. Easily the biggest individual weakness of every single one of our first choice back four is dealing with a long diagonal.

Prove it wrong, results have been better yes but performances nope, as i said earlier in gios worst domestic run he conceded less goals than beales 9 out of 10 wins, its absolute fine margins that make the difference We had an hour at home to st johnstone who had ten men on sat, and by end of the weekend we didnt eat into the GD between us and them at all, the game was pish on Saturday dont you agree, When was the last time we were good to watch for longer than 15-20mins in a game? rabc10000 and SPWF 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, ive said for ages now we need a clear out of a lot of the long term players, need something fresh and different to what we have as scottish football knows them and can play against them and we are relying on individual brilliance at times to get the breakthrough The Beast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
