Huge game against thistle. We need momentum. Really hope I’m left looking like a plonker with my thoughts on shabba
You cant be made to look like a plonker based on the evidence that made you form your opinion at any given time. There are however things to be concerned about with Shabba and our team when you listen to Gary Naismiths after match comments! QotS changed things to counter how we started, and our team could not change enough in reply.
I also wonder if double training sessions is being detrimental to match day fitness? Defenders again looked tired and unable to get back into position quick enough while QotS were scoring.
It's difficult to judge from highlights and fan reports from games, But if it's correct that he went 352 which at times looked like 532 when defending then this alone is a major breakthrough imo for 2 reasons
1 It means he has finally ditched his insistence on a lone striker and 2, it worked - at least for a decent part of the game.
Again hard to tell from QOS tv but we actually looked like a football team, driving run from Stanton, great move and excellent finish for the second.
So I'm going to give credit where it's due. Well done Csaba and well done lads. (can't believe I typed that first bit) but well done all round. Let's see if they can build on that now.
As you say it is difficult to judge from highlights, however what I did see was a lot more movement off the ball. I seen players wanting the ball and making themselves available for it and players running into space and dangerous areas. This alone is a huge difference to the slow square passing game we have been playing. Needs to be kept at this level for the whole season.
