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
-
Men against boys stuff tonight . Back to drawing board please . Back to having shape and winning 2nd balls This is a shit show
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
Agree with this assessment . All the good energy , chasing, moving the ball well has gone out the window . SK being found out a little
-
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
-
Butcher must be close to being ready . big bevis gives me the fear .
-
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.
-
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.
-
If Grim and Bleak can play left back or centre forward we should sign them.
-
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.
-
Agree about Wilkinson - he's slow and doesn't have a great first touch, but more likely than Bair, Shaw to get goals.
-
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
-
Paton and spencer both performed well . without Mika we wouldn’t have gotten a point - he nudges it for me
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sadly we’re regressing on a weekly basis as an offensive unit . have we had a shot on target yet ?
-
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
-
Agree - complete waste of space . spencer is by a distance our most attack minded player on the pitch
-
Wakey wakey - we’re sleepwalking so far - need to sharpen up
-
I'd like to see Spencer on the right and give Gent a few games on the left.
-
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.
