Performances have improved since Davor was given a run and he will get better with Miller beside him. This is my take as well. Those two combined really well today..

Nice to see you giving SOD pass marks and Gent. But seriously. Kettlewell is thick and Kelly is a tit .. and apparently Spittal is a shambles even though he scored yeah? Just as well everyone else doesn't agree with you. Was Miller a shambles too? Thought butcher had a decent second half,seriously if butcher starts we will lose,if only football was that simple.

MelvinBragg Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 3 minutes ago, Stevie73 said: surely has to be Mugabi’s last game, guys a nervous wreck, absolute bomb scare every time he’s near the ball. It was Butcher that cost us the goal today and elsewhere this season Casey has been no better than Mugabi. Am I saying Mugabi is good enough? No but based on this season, of all our defenders probably only McGinn is good enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2plus8 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Apologies if this has already been covered? But did the commentator on MFC TV say Obika is away to Southend? Or was that wishful thinking on my part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats the footie equivalent of yer maw telling your your hamster has 'gone to live on a farm' when you were wee 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purestate Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 By no means a perfect performance but the objective is to get to the next round and we did that. Despite some of the comments during the game at no point did I think we wouldn’t win. That must be the first goal Sammon scored at Fir Park and tbf if was a good finish aided by an uncharacteristic Butcher lack of challenge earlier in move. Other than than an a weak header Alloa offered nothing other than some enthusiasm. We won’t be drawing St Johnstone or Ross County in the next round.

GazzyB Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Plenty of lower division teams in the hat for the second round. Another nice easy home tie would be perfect, feel like we're due a wee bit of luck this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Leaving aside his goal, Gent was by far our best player today. Really good to see someone take the initiative and keep pressing forward. Miller made a difference when he came on, thats another big plus. Sadly the rest huffed & puffed but lacked any kind of quality. (Ok, Spittal managed 2 flashes). First half for some reason we would not commit men forward when we are attacking. At most 2 men trying to support. The other 8 hanging back. Second half to be fair to them we put a ton of good balls in the box. A number 9 would have had a field day. Big Theo is a trier, but he has no natural (or even learned) instinct, in where to go in tje box and get on the end of things. A striker really has to be a priority signing now. Through to the next round so thats the main thing but we are not looking good right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davkel Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 1 hour ago, steelboy said: We switched to a back four for ten minutes and in that period we scored and won a penalty. We missed the penalty and reverted to a back 5. Mind boggling. Bair made an arse of 4 sitters laid on a plate by Gent. The purple patch is clearly over. Gent played well and SOD was decent the rest of it a shambles. Callum Butcher is a busted flush and if he starts at Perth we will lose. Montgomery was a shambles .. ok .. you obviously know what you are talking about !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will remember his missed penalty Blair Spittal will remember his missed penalty judging by his reaction after scoring the free kick. Looked genuinely gutted that he didn't get the hattrick.

I think Spittal is a very underrated player in the same way Slattery is. Both have had noticeable dips in form but we would be much poorer without Spittal in my view 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybingo Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 You don't need that many decent players to survive in this league. If we can add two or three of them in the right positions we should be ok, starting up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep him to 25-yard screamers only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
