He cleared most of the crosses put into the box. Most, if not all the guyās we can afford will have faults.Ā Every player we ever have will have faults , it's the consistency with which they display those faults that determine whether they are any good for us and for me Mugabi makes too many basic errors. He's not alone we have quite a few we should be looking to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted February 17, 2024 Report Share Posted February 17, 2024 Mugabi has proved time and time again that he just canāt be relied upon. His concentration and position sense are woeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really sorry for the folk paying every week particularly away games to see us lose but if we need to stutter our way over the line so be it. And if we go down we go down. I hope we won't but I'll support the team no matter. It's out of my control. All I can do is back the teamĀ We will be fine this season, trust meĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best back 3, as a unit, and I stress as a unit, is probably McGinn, Casey and Blaney. SOD and McGinn shouldn't be in the same back 3 except in a dire emergency.Ā Now I'm not saying that it's a good back 3 but only that it's our best and that's a different thing.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted February 17, 2024 Report Share Posted February 17, 2024 If we offer Butcher and Obika any terms come end of the season then we have just threw the money down the drain.We will never ever get a full season out of them ever again. Ā Big Bev for all his faults is worth keeping aound easy target for alot of people but none of the backline can hold head up high this season but then maybe its poor denfence coaching thats to blame who knows.

We do so many good things in a game and then feck it up by doing some really stupid shit. We defended well as a team today for tge most part. Hearts have some gifted players and we kept our discipline well and made them play round about us. The only save Kelly had to make in the first half was McGinns header which he was trying to deflect over the bar. Second half we started really smartly on the front foot and put them under a fair bit of pressure. There were a fair few chances to get the ball in the net but we couldnt take any of them. Ultimately we paid for that. Hearts made some positive changes. Vargas being the pick of the bunch. He looks a dangerous player.Ā That said the first goal is typical of our season. Straightforward free kick and we let the best striker in the league get a free header at it. I like Mugabi, but his one job in the team is to win headers and he let Shankland get the better if him. The second goal is a sucker punch in injury time. We were throwing everyone (even Mugabi) forward. Thought SODs was pushed in the back in the run up. Maybe he should be stronger, but Decine got given a foul against seconds earlier for literally nothing. There is no consistency with these things and it makes a mockery of VAR. Overall, decent performance at a difficult venue. Spittal would have made a difference. Hope whatever his issue is it isnt serious and we see him next week. We will need him.Ā Not sure what more SK can do about our defending. Team were clearly well drilled today on their gameplan but individual errors keep costing us. Just need to tough it out until the summer until we can change personnel. Good post Joe and agree with all. We look well drilled but I felt his subs were poor. If and only if gent was injured he could have brought on buyabu to keep same balance.Ā After that was hit and hope from him .Seriously bevis rather than obika when chasing game up top. Shankland difference as he's a top playerĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star sail Posted February 17, 2024 Report Share Posted February 17, 2024 I see that Stephen Robinson got involved in an argument today with a fan. Steelboy must have been taking in the Livingston v St Mirren game and was given it to Robinson for old times sake!! Seriously though, it shows that it does not take much for any of the managers in the league to feel the heat.Ā Disappointed today. I actually thought we could sneak a result. Proof positive that a decent striker can be the difference between 3 rd place and a relegation dog fight in this league. Hope Spittal is fine and back playing soon. Tough week ahead. I would take three points from the next three games however they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
