grizzlyg Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 Not the most creative midfield but good to see Wilson and Wells starting. Come on well let's do this and remember its first game of season so if players are a bit rusty it's expected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretzel Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 It's great to get back to the real stuff. I think we have done relatively well in the group stages since they were introduced only real slip ups I remember are against Rangers and Airdrie and Stranraer winning that bonus point in pens obviously a few tight affairs in there. I don't know much about this Edinburgh City side but they had a really poor season last year and had many issues off it as well. Confident we should have the quality to get off to a positive start. A clean sheet would be most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t be like us to recruit another crock who spends more time injured now would it? Like I said earlier this is isn’t going to be pretty today even against such weak opposition.

steelboy Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 10 signings. 2 contract extensions. And we are trying to play football through O'Donnell, Halliday and Paton. A goal for Balmer now from a Halliday cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 Pretty standard stuff for this early in the season really, so no surprises there. I'm quite impressed by young Dylan Wells. He's looked good so far this game. Balmer looks good at the back and a threat at set pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of creativity is a big problem. Wells grew into the game and was impressive second half. There's not really much else to take from that other than Edinburgh City will be getting relegated again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 Not the greatest of first half’s , and more promising the second. Would have taken 3-0 before the game started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 We weren't even that impressive and that's probably the biggest mismatch of a football game I've ever seen. Don't think our keeper even had a cross to take, never mind a shot. First half was sluggish and a bit raggedy. Probably to be expected for the first match of the season against a side that wasn't putting any pressure on us at all. Pretty much everything we created came from set pieces, clearly the Edinburgh City manager is going to have to work on that cos I think we could have scored 5 today from set plays. The two young lads, while not pulling up any trees, looked fine. You worry though about the number of jobbers in the midfield. Fair play to Paton for constantly looking for the ball but he's not the kind of guy you want that high up the pitch. Same as last season O'Donnell doesn't really offer you any width in forward areas and I though Halliday looked laboured yet again. Goalkeeper and defence had the easiest day of their careers with literally nothing to do. Need to sharpen up, play at a higher pace, have better shape etc but you'd hope that will come with games under our belt. Think we do need maybe one or two players in though. A creative midfielder at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
