kelty_par Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Have no faith in shields and Whittaker after that disaster last Saturday, team selection and tactics were all wrong, we simply can’t afford to keep chucking points away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICT were top and we were bottom when we played them at EEP. You'd have been hard pressed to know who was who if you were watching as a foreign tourist.

Secure Par Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Really can’t see anything but a ICT win. If the team sets up like last weekend then it could be embarrassing. I’m sure ICT will be reminded of their brutal display at EEP and be a very different team on Saturday. Playing 1 up top will not get us a draw as we played at home against Morton and lost 3-1😩 4-4-2 and I know folk have slated Dow but play him on the right at the start taking on players. Fek this football negatively that the players are getting told to play week in/out. It’s not worked so we need to start off attacking on Saturday.

Fek this football negatively that the players are getting told to play week in/out. It’s not worked so we need to start off attacking on Saturday. I like Dow and thought last year the difference in the team without him in it was clear to see. However, he has been as poor as anyone lately and I can’t work out what he’s got to do to get subbed. He’s not a wide player and he’s never been capable of taking players on either as he’s a wide midfielder, not a winger. He only works well in that position when we have a good option in the overlap, ie like Comrie last year, but we have no-one except Josh at the minute willing to get by his midfielder in front of him. Im pretty sure they’re not being set up to play negatively as the formation doesn’t back that up. We’re not playing one up, it’s a 1-1 with one playing off the other and we did that for pretty much the whole of last season and scored goals. The difference is confidence, ie we don’t have any so no-one wants to play forward, or take a chance for fear of making a mistake. The coach or manager no matter who they are can only give so much confidence, the rest has to come from the players on the park. That is our problem at the moment.

Number Eleven Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Tomorrow's match has been overshadowed by the new manager's appointment and I wonder if there is any chance of an early new manager bounce. The game v ICT at East End is one of the few league games this season that we could've won, with 2 good chances going begging late on. ICT's form isn't great, though obviously still better than ours. There will need to be at least one change to the team with Kai Kennedy away with the U-21s, I'd like to see Ian Wilson coming into the starting line up for an extra man in midfield with Dow and Thomas in the wide areas. I'm not convinced that O'Hara can play by himself upfront, so I'd swap him out for Todorov. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyboy Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hopefully big Yogi will give the players the belief to get the win tomorrow. I think we'll get our first win at home next game. Most of us would probably take a draw at Inverness. I'll change my prediction from 3-0 to 0-0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted November 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Team news: OFW Comrie, Breen, Connolly, Edwards McDonald, Dorrans, Todd, Thomas O'Hara, McCann Bench: Mehmet, Wighton, Graham, Toderov, Dow, Pybus, Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Eleven Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 I’m surprised with Lewis McCann coming in ahead of Todorov or Wighton, perhaps for a more physical style? I don’t think Ryan Dow can argue with being dropped as his recent performances have been well below what he’s capable of. Let’s hope that’s the winning team.

Superally Posted November 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Interesting that Wilson hasn't featured on the bench - I wonder if he is still carrying the injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguinePar Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Thankfully Morton, Ayr and Hamilton all losing, and QoS only drawing at Arbroath. If we come away from today no further behind that we started, I'd take that tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
