Orinoco Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Brilliant 1st half. Decided that 2 nil will do and that was that. As easy as you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Poorest half of football I’ve seen us play in a while but in the end apart from a couple of wee slips at the back, pretty comfortable. fadinger and Priestman didn’t put a foot wrong. I’d love to see their passes stats. Must be about 98% success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think JBA will be pleased with second half I'm just wondering if that's JBA asking the team to sit on a lead and see the game out as practice for playing against the big teams. Can't see any other reason for such a poor second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Second half not up to our usual standards of this season but other than Wards brain fart when he tried to dribble the on rushing forward they never really looked like scoring. Hope JK is alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some slack passing amd control. may not get away with that against other teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opponents aren't perfect either, so don't always score when they get the chance. Of course we want to minimize them, but not every mistake costs a goal.

texanwellfan Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Edging closer to clinching top 6 place Aberdeen need 6 games to overtake us amd only 9 games till the split. Although Dundee Utd might turn out to be the team challenging for top 6 rather than Aberdeen since Utd have games in hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, there's also a parallel universe where we lost half of the games we drew - sliding doors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago The draws at the start of the season were part of the development process. You can't implement a completely new approach and have it work immediately. That was as true for someone like Klopp at Liverpool as it is for JBA at Fir Park. The key will be can we maintain and improve next season now that everyone knows what they are doing. If we can, then it will be an exciting one.

I don't think it is quite over yet. I still believe that Hearts will fall back into the pack a little. IF we get a win against Dundee, the Rangers game becomes huge and could potentially drag us right back into the fight. I know it is a long shot but this season still holds much excitement. We still have to play Rangers, Celtic and Hearts twice. I am making an assumption now that top six is secured. Unbelievable to be making that statement in January.

texanwellfan Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Top 6 not secured yet but getting close. Definitely not given up hope of the unthinkable yet, especially if we win our next two games against Dundee and Rangers. everyone in the top 6 is capable of taking points off any other team.

I haven't given up, and I think we will certainly have an impact on the final winner. At this stage, however, I'd rank us as very much a long shot. A legitimate chaser, but still a long shot. Might be different by the end of Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
