No point in emulating the Dundee side of the 1960s who played fantastic football but more often than not got beaten. We are one game in and we need new players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy H Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Well that was different from the usual defend and try to hit them on the break. Too many slack passes at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Patience is the name of the game. No idea where we will end up but it's far more entertaining. Today was always going to he tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Frustrating. Not playing badly as such Taking a touch and putting ourselves under pressure at times when a first time ball would be better. Incorrect pass choices Half-hearted pressing at the top end of the pitch sometimes. Naïve fouls, particularly by Maswinhise. Player running back towards goal and will vlearly go down under any sort of challenge. Lack of final ball. Should arguably have had a foul prior to Rangers' corner. Still very much in the game though and a few decent passages of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit_It_Out Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Such a poor goal to gift them but the passing needs to sharpen up a bit and i hope JBA is ripping them to bits over the marking for that goal totally shocking. Its going to be an entertaining season thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I think just is a player but I think he’s really powder puff at times, I think he will come good but it’ll take a wee while and quite a number of gym sessions before it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Yes we have made Mistakes but we will get better. Bad decision from McGinn to give away the corner but I think him and Gordon struggle with us trying to play a passing game. Fadinger struggling a bit today against better opposition but if we can play our new style against rangers it should be “easier” when we play other teams. Longelo had two opportunities to get god shot on goal but his first touch let Him down leading to poor efforts on goal. I’d like to see us give TJ more of the ball and have him go at full back.

wellsince75 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I’m pleased to see us having players in midfield who can pass . Overall lots to be happy with . Slattery for me is key to pulling the strings . The new style of play will take time to bed in but against the majority of the league can see us having a fair amount of success . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Plenty to work on. Probably need about 3 new players. (Spine as said earlier) but in general I’m pleased with what I’ve seen in aS much as we are trying to play football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Rangers to their credit have worked very hard to close us down. Compare this approach to their approach at ibrox last season where they stood off us. As others have said our passing and movement needs to improve. Just seems to float about. Perhaps Said being stronger might work better today in that roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mccus28 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I just hope the players get up to speed with this style of play because some of their choices of passes have been horrendous, finding a man who is marked by 2 just for the sake of passing. Just looks shell shocked Fadinger and Slattery look off the pace Johnny K and longelo look good Not convinced by Ward in goals Saying all of that, we are still in it and the manager has said we will look to get more players in who i assume he will have picked, combined with better fitness and hopefully it will come good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much at all between the 10 teams outside the OF. If we can improve a little bit we will pick up a lot more points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 The manager’s preferred playing style is laudable but our midfield is too soft and easy to play through and we don’t have defenders that are capable of playing this way. However our season won’t be defined by results against the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
