mfc Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 There was minimal contact but ward should be catching that every day of the week,that's definitely a worry going forward he can't claim a simple cross under very little pressure cause he will be getting them fired at him every game.

weeyin Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Agree about Ward. It was a foul, but keepers get away with GBH when they jump for a ball he and needed to be bullying the Killie players out the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Having watched the highlights was probably a bit harsh on Ap Stam. Great play from him for our equaliser. He's quite frustrating at times. O'Donnell had another perfectly good game. If we could combine the JBA play with the Wimmer press we'd be formidable. One thing that is slightly getting to me is that we're a yeard off the press at times and allowing crosses in. Another good performance tbough and infinity more watchable. Just need to be a bit sharper in final third and cut out the needless errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Also said on Spoftscene that Slattery had 'A knock', which sounds far more promising that initial fears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’d be great news, we really missed him yesterday. Said did fine but the 4 of Watt, Fadinger, just and slattery play really well together.

El Grew Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 8 hours ago, star sail said: I have just watched the highlights and Ward definitely gets nudged in the back. The Killie attacker is actually very cute about it making no attempt to play the ball. He just pushes with his arm into Wards lower back to unbalance Ward and push him underneath the flight of the ball Wee Dougie Arnott had this off to an art form. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Might be a very interesting season ahead. Results so far would say very little between all of the non of the old firm teams, even Morse so than usual, and perhaps not as much of a gap between them and the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 A goalkeeper should command their box and deal with threats before going for the ball, either by clearing them out or being more aware. With the protection they get, there is no excuse. Foul or not on Ward, he has to be stronger in those situations. Maybe he just is not capable of it. And he has butterfingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw today both of them looked really poor. Obviously in all likelihood they will both pull away from the rest in time given the budget difference but that looked dire stuff from the two of them. Hearts under McInnes and with the Bloom backing would be the most obvious side to challenge the duopoly and they have had an excellent start to the season (even though we let them off the hook last week). It’s certainly a very tight league and I definitely don’t remember the last time you had three teams (Us, Kilmarnock and Rangers) all drawing their first four fixtures.

robsterwood Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 What does Hendry offer at all? He's done nothing in both games apart from hit a free kick well over the bar. Appears stamas work rate is significantly better. I can only hope he's getting match fitness back but early signs not promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCC made good initial impression with good running and degree of skill and Priestman looked like a real battler, he even won a header against the Killie giant. Yes will fully assess Hendry after a few more games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 Watched highlights on YouTube, if ward starts next game it's last chance saloon, absolute embarrassing. I hate slating players as they are human like all of us but 3 of last 4 goals conceded his fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to put strikers off their shot with a well placed wee shove in the back - allegedly. If I was a keeper, though, I'd be barging players out the way and elbowing any around me, because that seems to be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
