papaguy51 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I was shocked to see Coisty put 11 players in our box to defend Forfar's freekicks and corners. Has he never heard of the counter attack? I probably sound like a grumpy old cunt 99% of the time on RM, but surely Beasley, Naismith and Miller would have been better served sitting on the edge of the box waiting for a McGregor catch and throw? Against a slow Forfar side, it would surely have worked. /Rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youllneverwinaway Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Its a disgusting tactic and one ive had a particular bee in my bonnet about for a long time. Every fucking corner we have against us, we end up defending it 2 or 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 It puts us so deep and invites absolute dross like Forfar on to us. It's incredibly naive. I'm no manager and never will be, but you don't need to be an expert to see that it's an awful tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no manager and never will be, but you don't need to be an expert to see that it's an awful tactic. A good few more blunder type tactics too. Can we ever gain anything from a throw in? Can we ever take a LONG throw into THEIR penalty box? Can our defenders ever punt the ball to Rangers player? (again missing out our midfield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(again missing out our midfield) Watching Rangers and watching the Edmonton Oilers is actually a very very similar experience at the moment. With both clubs you have a few players who you know should do much better, but sometimes don't deliver. You have a few favourites who are obviously on the teamsheet in permanent marker. You have a number of players who look little more than lost and disoriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
