Tonight v the fun

It's the tippy tappy p1sh on the edge of the box, the too many wee one-two's trying to be clever the intricate wee triangles........, JUST HIT THE F*#kING THING.., so infuriating.!

Yeah, it drives you mad watching that. ☹️

TTT I play futsal over here regularly and it’s the same. It’s everywhere!! I canna remember where I read it but it was some manager that gave his team some pish rule about making a said number of passes before shooting. Could be Tam has enforced the same.

I eas always taught playing football that if you get a chance at goal..you should take it. If you don't buy a ticket..you canny win the raffle!

The thing is, some folk are saying the problem is the midfield as it's not creating chances. Well, against St Mirren and the fun we've created absolute sitters that the strikers have missed. ☹️

I don't see any difference in our chance creation this season as I did last season. Last season we had the 'golden boy' up front and it was all the midfields fault. This season he's gone and folk are suddenly blaming the strikers. I appreciate the strikers at the club aren't good enough, but they've hardly been getting chance after chance laid on for them every game. They need to be burying the chances they do get, last nights was a shocker, but they simply haven't been getting enough of them. We've been craving creativity in the middle of the park for about 5 years now. It beggars belief why we can't seem to rectify it. Instead we persevere with boys like Harkes, Pawlett and Clark to supply the ammo. It's a fcuking headshaker.

I agree but the chances I mentioned we created really have to be buried. They were sitters. Actually add to that Clark's header against St Mirren. None of those hit the target, shocking.

Yip. At the end of the day, McNulty isn't good enough in any capacity & Clark is an impact sub. We could do with upgrades on both. Couple that with the fact we create very little, the need to bury the chances we do get is magnified. Some serious recruitment needs done in the summer.

agree - I am now thinking someone else picks the team not Tam, he is head coach and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a committee doing this maybe not by name but he doesn't have the full control here possibly? If he does he probably needs to look at a career move

What's worst for me is that if you're not going to bring in creativity thru the middle you would want it out wide to get decent crosses in or beat a man, we have neither. All wing backs at the club are terrible at crossing, as was Robson before McCann.

Freeman who was terrible before going off last night is prob the most attacking of them all but his strength seems to be driving into the box and not his crossing

Scarily for me the best crosser of the ball might actually be Watt but given how awful our other strikers are we probably need him in the box.

I cant see us going out and getting new wing backs, the 3 not including sporle that we already have are probably gonna be our main ones for some time so we absolutely need to find some creativity thru the middle.

You need to join EastFootball with that kind of chat. That's what's been suggested over there. 🙈
