    Forster to Meechings to Forster to Meechings...

    It’s got to stop, we don’t have the players with the ability to play out from the back, and it never gets us any place, let’s be more direct and get the ball up the park to Hemmings who has the ability to hold the ball up, even if he doesn’t there is a chance our midfield will pick up the second ball,

    It’s also boring as f@ck

    Nah, yer right.

    100% possession so let’s punt it and see if we might get 50%.

    Mixing it up and knowing when to mix it up is the most appealing strategy for me.

    We tired Arbroath out keeping possession which opened up the game later on.

    The the ball has to moved quicker along the back line but players become ubber conservative when the crowd is ready to pounce on every little mistake.

    Possession doesn’t mean goals, and passing around at the back won’t get you goals, but you half agree with me so I’ll take that

    I long for the time we can expect a more settled side as this changing every week is no good imo.

    Passing around the back until movement in midfield and up front allows for a forward pass is acceptable to football fans.

    Kicking it as far as you can up the park aimlessly is acceptable to dinosaurs.

    So why does the midfield have to come back for a pass all the time, this dinosaur loved the long ball for Coyne and Wright it seemed to work, also remember long ball to Sinky who would shield it holding it up long enough until a pass was on, that’ll be the 50% you agree with me
