wellwell91 Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Only one person to blame for that defeat today … … … SK Slatery and Miller were out on their feet at 75 minutes … … Why wait till they score for substitutes !!!!

Lobey_Dosser Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 I may have got caught up in the emotion of the game but I couldn’t contemplate throwing any criticism at the players just now. I thought we were excellent, the players ran themselves into the ground and the last two performances against Rangers and Celtic have been miles ahead of the insipid performances that we’re routinely watched for much of the last 10 years. Full credit to Kettlewell and Frail for that. No harm to Theo who did well but we’re a proper striker away from being a right good team. Devastated today, that was up there with Kane in 2017 for me. Onto Livingston though, we need to return to gaining points rather than prolong a hard luck story. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played as well as we could against the strongest side in the country and largely limited them in terms of chances and goal scoring opportunities. Unfortunately though you know that they have that bit of extra quality and you expect them to score at any minute and that’s what happened today. That said hard luck stories get you nowhere in football. Had we a proper striker today like a KvV or a pre 2017 Moult then I think we win that game. However we don’t so we didn’t and worryingly for us that’s the third game in a row we’ve been saying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stv Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Brilliant performance in the second half especially really enjoyed the game . End to end stuff. Gutted about the result but to blame SK for anything is pretty poor , he set up the team well and nearly pulled it off. If it had ended 1-1 all the posts would have been about how well we played. Remember how much money that Celtic team cost compared to us. Sometimes a bit of perspective is needed. But i do get a laugh at some of the post tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bair had supporting midfielders arriving but by time Shaw was on he was totally isolated with midfield run in out of steam. I’d like to see them switch roles and start Shaw to see how he does with more time on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slattery and Miller were out on their feet and most fans thought that Celtic would come at us strongly in the closing stages. No one's perfect; everyone makes mistakes. He's young enough and bright enough to learn from that. To put that into perspective we're doing well and he's doing really well. We've just played the 4 best teams in the league. The next few games will be a test as to how we react. The encouraging thing for me today is that, apart even from our weakened strikeforce, we could have played better especially in defence. Butcher and Gent have still to reach fitness and have yet to come in. Given the players we had at our disposal I reckon we were at 80/85% of our potential. Defensive errors let us down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four games left to complete first round of fixtures Aberdeen plus bottom 3. These are the games we need to be winning but nobody is going to give us the points we will need to play well and score and win the points. We are capable of winning these games but we must execute.
