  1. Wilkinson sets a very low bar for any striker to follow . Bair works hard but as they said on commentary he hasn’t got a strikers instinct and you can’t really coach Mika is the one bright spark up front
  2. Men against boys stuff tonight . Back to drawing board please . Back to having shape and winning 2nd balls This is a shit show
  3. 65 mins - have we even had a shot on goal ? I can’t recall any . the lack of width (amongst many other issues ) doesn’t help us . Neither Spencer or SOD give the width we need
  4. Must say it’s always a pleasure to listen to Craggs. he sees the issues and calls out the simple things we should be doing
  5. Hoping for game abandoned . who cares if VAR is broken - just crack on . We do t need var to show how shite we’re playing
  6. Ha - there’s on only ref though we have 5-6 who’ve been dreadful I’d put butcher on for 2nd half - any position will do
  7. What a complete joke of a half . calamity in defence , powderpuff midfield and offer nothing in attack expect to see subs at half time . this is dross
  8. Agree with this assessment . All the good energy , chasing, moving the ball well has gone out the window . SK being found out a little
  9. Shocking defending - don’t agree that SOD was the issue . we have 3 central defenders and not one them was anywhere close . bring back butcher asap equally we’ve offered very little moving forward . Spittal , slattery and Wilkinson need to offer something , other than good options to be subbed
  10. Butcher must be close to being ready . big bevis gives me the fear .
  11. I'm a fan of our 4 man midfield - the 3 man midfield was too lightweight. 3 points please Motherwell, don't really care how we get them but 3 points are needed to inject a bit of confidence.
  12. I don't believe there to be significant one (outside the top 4). A fit Moult would do just fine in the SPL. For the record if faced with do I sign Moult (again) or Obika (again) who's also been injured for the last xx years I would have signed Moult in a heartbeat.
  13. If Grim and Bleak can play left back or centre forward we should sign them.
  14. I agree with the comments that Bair & Shaw aren't good enough.Also the comments that better players should play in their natural position eg Spencer. With our current crop of fit players I'm less than convinced that the 5-3-2 works. Defensively Having Butcher, Casey, McGinn and Spencer all make sense. Not sold on S'OD as he's not pushing forward enough. Midfield Paton, Miller, Spittall & Slattery generally does work - with 2 pushing forward and 2 holding. Upfront Mika if fit works- and that's your lot. So in conclusion any formation that has 3 in midfield with our current crop of players isn't a great idea. In essence the 5-4-1 or even 4-4-2 type formation suits our current team.
  15. Agree about Wilkinson - he's slow and doesn't have a great first touch, but more likely than Bair, Shaw to get goals.
  16. Shaw looks devoid of all confidence . Suspect he’s more talented than we’ve witnessed . be interesting to see what Wilkinson and Mika can do together - equally I’m ok with one up front as long as it’s Mika - likes of spittal and slattery pushing up would give decent assistance
  17. Paton and spencer both performed well . without Mika we wouldn’t have gotten a point - he nudges it for me
  18. Assessment There's been a steady decline in performance over the last 5 games. Confidence has ebbed away and several players who were at the top of their form have gone off the boil. A few weeks ago Mubagi , Spittal , Slattery, Bair offered a lot more than they did today. There's 2 - 3 players who are simply never going to be good enough and one of them has played 100 games for us ! On the positives I look around at other teams and see a similar lack of quality . Adding Butcher, Miller, Mika to that team today will improve us and expect be good enough against most teams.
  19. The ridiculously frustrating thing is we knew that we'd be dire until we brought Mika on. The team performance was poor - Spencer for first 60 mins was the only outlet for moving forward. Mika made a huge difference. There's a few players who simply shouldn't be back in the first team. Hopefully with Mika + Butcher coming back we can add a bit of quality that's needed.
  20. Sadly we’re regressing on a weekly basis as an offensive unit . have we had a shot on target yet ?
  21. Agree Mio . Bair has no positional sense and for a big lad gets pushed off the ball easily shaw looks like a player of zero confidence and zero strength . all hope is mika gets fit
  22. Agree - complete waste of space . spencer is by a distance our most attack minded player on the pitch
  23. Wakey wakey - we’re sleepwalking so far - need to sharpen up
  24. I'd like to see Spencer on the right and give Gent a few games on the left.
  25. Im expecting a pretty dull, industrial performance from us. With 20 mins left bring on Mika who adds the spark of quality we need. 1-0 or 2-1 will do nicely thank you chaps.
