Thread: Another get out of jail free card for Ray.?

  1. #1

    Another get out of jail free card for Ray.?

    I posted earlier that he should be given credit for today. And haven't changed my mind.
    But the opinion on different forums from today seems to be mixed.
    What's the thoughts guys ?
    Are we a team that can go on and win the league or are we still just digging out results without playing particularly well.

    I would like to see substitutions made before we lose goals not after.

    Always said on paper that we are in deed a team that can win the league. But we need to set today as a base line and improve in every game. Another hard one next week with the leagues in form team.

    The signs are there, we have the makings of a good team, let's be fair, there have been a lot of unfit & injured players early on which hasn't helped Ray's cause. If he can get them all fit and keep them fit then the best 11 will rise to the top.

    Subs should have been made 10 minutes before their goal
    At that time we had stopped playing the ball comfortably on the deck with good movement and went back to hoof ball and suicidal defending which then led to losing a goal from a set play
    Every corner they took landed exactly where the ball landed for a free header.
    Why was our defenders not wise to 3 of their big lads at back post

    I've missed a few games due to work and loads of other posts, on how bad we have been. It must have been better yesterday, but still we always have squeaky bum phases. We created enough chances to be comfortable by half time if they had been put away, and it is this failure to convert that has dogged us (plus some crap play) over the past couple of seasons. If we keep doing this then squeaky bum time will persist and especially against better sides than Morton, who had one outlet in the team. Their delivery into dangerous was far better though.

    Don't know much about young guy Piggot, however would be tempted to give him a chance. As much as McDonald works hard, he ain't got the legs to put in the shift Utd want him to, but grateful for his reactions to grab the 2nd yesterday.

    As for full backs not sure who is worse Toshney or Murdoch? We could have taken Keith Watson on loan from St Johnstone, now at Hartlepool on loan. A tried and tested full back and much better than any of the options we have.

    3pts I suppose that's all that matters though!

    Sorry Smeds, my lateral thinking or general exposure to the fine art of banter is limited. So you'll have to explain, unless it means nae cash!

    A couple of weeks ago wakening up on a Sunday morning I fancied scrambled eggs.
    Went to the fridge - no eggs!!
    Was grumpy for the rest of the day.

    Had to settle for coffee and tesco croissant this weekend. Not grumpy and after yesterday contemplating going to East End Park next weekend as I think support might be slightly reinvigorated.
