Spartans (H)

Stats will not show just how bad we were in that game.
Persisting with 3 at the back against a L 2 team. Forced to 4. The 3 left the space exposed for Iovu to make that challenge and the following red.
Sibbald, Camara, Graham are the only real pass marks. there was nothing to holler about and the subs were poor, he has now had an ineffective entire squad out on the park before the next game and zero happening up front.

Apart from you being correct about the 3 at the back I really dont think we were as bad as you're making out and controlled most of the game up until near the end. We would have kept the likes of Sibbald and Fatah on longer if it hadn't been for ridiculous yellow cards and the absolute state of that f*cking referee and with 11 men we win that far more comfortably.

I honestly don't know what game you were watching, firstly it was never a red, barely even a yellow

We were pretty decent last night with ten men, very comfortable and professional up until the deflected goal, had got plenty minutes in the squad and got players off too for Saturday

The only really poor play was terrible decision making on the break which should have led to a comfortable end

Yep thats the game I watched. I will say though that Iovu is a f*cking liability and 4 at the back worked much much better.

He did,he was giving it right to him......hard neck if you ask me and hes half the player he was last season.

I think this too, he's just not as good and I've been saying that all season long.

Thought we did well last night after going down to 10 men. Looked comfortable until the last ten minutes and cld have been on easy street but for the amount of poor decisions we made in the final third.

Sap looked a shadow of himself last night and I thought stirton bizarrely looked tired for the short amount of time he was on.

Had the ref not ruined the game we wld have won that comfortably, and as mentioned throughout this thread. 3 at the back does not work and although I?m not one calling for JG to go ultimately his continual stubbornness will lead to him getting his jotters.

The 3 at the back sometimes does work. The 4 at the back seems to work a wee bit better. When we are in trouble, we usually resort to the 4 at the back, which actually, seems to work.

Lets give it a go. If it goes tits up, fair dooz .

Also helps the twa pair buggers trying to close down the midfield.

Simple thing is we play a back four more often, we win games. Winning games Goodwin gets noticed for a bigger job. Win win situation all round.

Goodwin has done well in reducing the wage bill and debt that was building up on us by the actions of one Tony Asghar.
