Yes for sure, we have to hope it gives the players some confidence for next Sunday at the Tattiedome. Bluekev and scottyscott1963 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness to take a one off performance as a representation of what he offers. He does have attributes but he flatters to deceive too often and spends time out injured, should be moved on.

We just looked like we had a bit of confidence and swagger back. Players werent hiding from the ball and we were actually capable of finding other blue jerseys with passes for a change. jintybear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt there was a good platform for the forward play today, with some familiar vulnerabilities. As you say, some promising signs but acid test next sunday. Be interesting to see how he sets up.

The Ibrox Derry 9,220 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Very good. Progress made. Going to enjoy my Saturday night. It was alien sitting through the last half hour with nothing to worry or stress us about. Seems like ages since the last experience of that. Hearts at home in February maybe RS4_wul, SteveEarle, BlueAvenger and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeRab 3,382 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Like watching a new team. Only downside was Hampden is a shite place to see 6 goals. No idea what’s going on half the time. Thought Matondo was great. But it’s the away games on a tight park that he’ll struggle. Tav in the middle is interesting. Solves the Maeda problem for next week. Big drop off in quality to the subs. Still don’t know what Dowell is supposed to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

County pressed really well and tried to break up the park any chance they got. We were just better, it's not like anything bar the last goal was from a County mistake.

Jimfanciesthedude 25,571 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Lawerence two runs, the first assist for dessers, the second for his goal, the difference in our build up play when we have someone running between the lines as such us immeasurable Only thing is we need that more every single game, lawerence probably cant do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooperson 1,009 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 What a result and a performance, Fuckin well done big Phil and the lads, superb, but I must admit when I seen the line up of Lawrence and Matondo starting ? I was like wtf, but fair play pre match he explained game time etc Onwards and upwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence isnt a bad player but i dont think he quite fits in with how we are wanting to play, he is far too slow and there is no way his body will cope doing that week in week out.

Should have had another goal in the first half as well. The reality is if/when the issues arise people will rightly highlight them, and next week will have even more riding on it.

Popular Post ForeverAndEver 73,859 Posted August 24 Popular Post Share Posted August 24 Thought we were superb, absolute canter. Dessers and Matondo class, Lawrence much better, Barron’s been some signing so far. Buzzing for Danilo to get a goal Only complain was giving Dowell minutes ahead of Rice/McKinnon. Bring those horrible cunts on next week. AGM_72, ayro, Albertz85 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL gets paid to create and score goals. He is always a threat at that. 10 minutes into the game people were on his back when others also had no involvement. He is the one the anger goes to first. Some of it is warranted, but most of it is ott. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it is warranted, but most of it is ott. Think we'll agree to disagree with the first point. Wouldn't put too much stock into reactive comments on an internet forum during the match, I imagine the reaction was much more positive as he was going off. The nature of where we are at right now. Nobody will be unhappy if he suddenly contributes 20-30 goal involvements across the season. BigBearButt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to take away from a great performance but it was Ross County ffs ... Again, I know he’s shown signs against better teams, but keeping players that perform against shite competition is how we ended up with the wage bill we have now. Someone wants him and are willing to pay, he has to go. bam74 and bornabear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
