Our best performance of last season came against Dundee United playing a back 4 and having genuine width and we outplayed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that season ticket sales will fall because we play a back 3/5 in a friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve maybe worded it badly but all I meant was negative tactics and football might put folk off going along. I’d always rather see us set up to have a go instead of behind the ball holding on. Nothing to fear in the league this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we don't have the wide centre backs, or the wing backs to play the formation in such a way that it's actually attractive. 9 minutes ago, da_no_1 said: I'm not arguing about formation.

Maybe not so much in a friendly, but I do think the football we played last season has impacted sales to a degree. 2 minutes ago, da_no_1 said: And yet we've both bought season tickets.

Al k Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Don't know anyone at the game but the stats are anything to go by, as you were from last season. One shot on target from ten. I try not to get too worked up in Friendlies but its nice to be filled with some confidence going into games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastendtales Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Sometimes wonder if Scotland should introduce something radical like an extra point for every 5 or 10 league goals scored, to encourage more attacking play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to judge in friendlies or even league cup to be honest. Total different story when the season starts though. If we are still toothless and playing the same boring football where attack is seen as ''the salt in the soup'' as Thomas Meggle calls it, then my patience will run out. The work pre-season should have a big emphasis on how we can attack teams more effectively next season and attack with more numbers getting in the box. If it's same old, then McPake can ram it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
