Queens v Dumbarton

[jardi]

So let me get this right jardi. We are 2.0 up against 10 men. We go all out to attack despite the game already being won. Then we push men forward as much as we can chasing a game that doesn’t need to be chased. And lo and behold the other team breaks and we are caught short and lose a goal. Then it’s squeaky bum time. Or start playing it long over the heads of our talented midfield players and missing out the strongest areas of our team that succeeds in them just getting sore necks by looking to the sky for most of the game.
Or do we keep the ball and go forward in a sensible manner and manage the game in a way there is no panic or lose any goals, such as what happened on Saturday.
If you are wishing the 1st option then thank god Peter has the only opinion that counts because for me he has got it right in almost every game. The fact we are top of the league is evidence of that

Fatfan is looking for an argument! Any manager of any quality is fully aware of the importance of goal difference and with the opposition down to 10 men and your own team full of attacking and fast individuals, - it is simply crazy not to go for extra goals, - as you have the extra man to defend an unlikely break out from the opposition. High pressing ensures the team at 0-2 with 10 men are encamped in their own half. End of.

Jardi I am certainly not looking for an argument. In no way can you describe any of my posts as being argumentative, however you seem to be annoyed with what I have said. Is this because I disagree with what you are saying? We are all entitled to our opinions and I like to think my opinions have a bit of evidence behind them. And like I said earlier, if you watch the highlights we created a lot of chances in the second half and played some lovely football. And although goal difference could possibly come into the equation, points win leagues and having as good as won the 3 points on Saturday then why take risks and start pushing everyone forward.
Just say we had lost 2 late goals to 10 men, what would be said then? I could almost guarantee fans would be up in arms. Whereas if we walked away with a 5.0 win, then it’s still just 3 points, but granted a slightly better goal difference. So for me your arguments against how we played are wrong and I’m with the manager on this one
