Dunfermline (h)

[Yeats 62]

Im convinced what we are missing is some genuine pace. Whether its out wide or through the middle.

Defo.......... you can tell within the first 10 minutes if their full-backs have the pace for our wide players, and if they do ? Nae plan B
Unless McCann (sic) or Grimmy decide to gamble. I don't think Grimmy likes to do that , he's "no bad" facing the ball, but.. hates the ball over the top, back down to pace again.

That's when we should be looking at 2 up front with some early crosses in the box. What happens is we end up trying to pass our way in. I don't think we are miles away from being a good team. We just need that spark in the final 3rd.

[Yeats 62]

We ruined Shankland, and he seems to be no bad again. A saft cross or pass in to any box with 11 players in it, normally won't have the same impact as a fest overload (whatever that is) fired in there.

Tempo.............. Presto..... Per favore ...........

I think they are trying to draw another defender out the box by threatening them with the short corner. I do agree though. If no player takes the bait, either play the short corner and drive for goal or send the unneeded player in to the 6 yard box to cause bather, or sit on the 18 yard line looking for the second ball.

yeah it forced 2 pars players to cover the short corner.

how bad was Trampoline Touch Tony ? or TTT as im going to call him

Yesterday was absolute shyte with exactly the same old same old. When even new faces descend into the same pattern it is clear it must be under instruction........

Middleton flatters to deceive every time. Rarely crosses to a tangerine shirt and cant beat the skin off a rice pudding. He only gets a game as hes either all over the bosses wife or the only left footed player available. Replacing him with Cudjoe adds pain....

The front line will only score if presented the chances. Watts touch was abysmal but that was 30 yards further from goal than a scoring chance. Grimshaw is still reminding me too much of Garry Kenneth.

The pattern of play is set by the boss, he has to fix it, half times bring no relief. Watched it on an apple phone due to location and was possibly one of the worst 90 mins ever.

Please do not associate me with that chunt. 🤪

[JUSTaway]

1) why do we bother having a shooting drill in the warm up just prior to kick off to then spend 90 mins when no one takes a shot.

2) why is there no movement when we get attacking throw ins. It's been the same all season, 9/10 we give it away and take so long that the opposition have everyone back in position.

3) definition of madness is to repeat same mistakes. We spent 90 minutes persisting with a style that wasn't working. Change it up for god sake, go more direct, mix it up instead of being so predictable.

We just need to keep up the tempo, first 15-20 was all Utd and we looked good, last 10 was the same, everything in between wasnt great but Dunfermline did really well with a lot of their I lnjured players back

Positives are Wotherspoon and Docherty will improve, Moult got some time aswell, gained a point due to other results went, we are top on pts outright for first time in a couple months

We have our game in hand next weekend, downside is then it's another two weeks till the next game in Kirkcaldy, but get the three pts next week, no matter how we do it would be 4 pts ahead going into that one

[shedka]

Played well first half hour and looked a team that were a level above our opposition but the last hour was meh......is there any chance we can bin Watt and just bring him oot on eez birthday?

Mcmann to me is a totally different player from before and is having a really good season.....ffs he looks more of a threat on the left wing than Middleton....ie taking on rbs and getting the ball in the Box....

Think we can all agree that it's gonna be a long old season and we are not going to pi55 the league so we may as well buckle up and not enjoy the ride🙄.........cmon did yous really think we were winning the league by March 🫣😂😂

This 100% minus the Watt bit, although wasn't his best day, after doing well recently

[arab1970]

why bring Tilson on (who was rank btw) when we needed ball players at that point to get the 3 pts
