1-0 down and we win 2-1, I'm a happy chappy, played good football in spells, I think sometimes we hold onto the ball to long, Matthews at the end and rovers go on to hit the bar!

You can't play good football in this division. The standard is appalling. It's all about the results which thankfully we are getting.

Of course you can play good football in this league.

 

[vinegar hill]

We’ve seen much worse than that.
We played some devastating stuff in very short bursts which was enough.

We hold onto the ball too long??? Id say the absolute opposite is our problem. Our biggest problem for years has been keeping hold of the damn thing. We just aimlessly give it away. Always have done.

The standard is crap tbf. Imo that's beyond any doubt

There was the odd spell where we knocked the ball around really well but for the most part it was dire viewing today

Must be hard to play in front of a crowd that have had nowt but utter shite to watch for years. When we go behind I think the crowd are still scarred by that.

Fair play to the current squad for getting results. They have a lot of baggage they've neither earned or deserved

Agree with all of this.

I'm yet to see a side cope with us when we get the ball down and move it quickly, then a change of pace with some clever movement we open teams up and create chances.

Even at 1-0 down today when we upped the tempo in the final third we created good goalscoring chances.

 

[Oh Bugger]

I enjoyed the second half

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Actually interested to know where we might strengthen with better players?

I reckon with Flanagan back and (only in my view) McGeouch in for Power that's probably our strongest 11. And with Watmore, Maguire and Wyke to come in its pretty good.

I was talking to someone earlier tonight. In a week or two Jack is going to have to choose four from McGeady, Honeyman, Gooch, Maja, Maguire, Wyke, Sinclair and Watmore. Nice problem.

Teams in this division can't cope with any side that can keep the ball. They end up chasing it and losing their shape. I wish we could keep the ball a bit better

Well I'm not going to give someone else's opinion marra

If the equaliser had come on 40 minutes I'm convinced we'd have been going into half-time at least 2-1 up

Don't expect you to.

Agreed. But reckon that JR has given Sinclair plenty of chances and he is bottom of that list especially as a loan.

 

[Bears Beets]

When we got the ball on the deck we looked good.

Too many little dink’s and long passes though. In those kinds of conditions the ball in the air is totally unpredictable.

I thought we looked a bit slow in midfield at times. Catts started really slow and Power didn’t have his best game either.

We also lost half of our regular back 4 and then the keeper went off too to make matters worse.

We will get better.

Couldn’t agree more.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

The list I came up with isn't a pecking order, more the product of a mildly pissed mind. I don't disagree, by the way.

That's what I mean, give it away, when a pass could be on ....
