Spit_It_Out Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Poorest we have been all season looked like we went back to the first ten games of the season when we were trying to get to grips with what was trying to get implemented.The short passing was terrible and our big players this season majority had off day it happens. But give me this season anytime its been absolutely fantastic and seeing stands full again,folk buzzing to get Fir Park just brilliant. The progress has been bonkers to the point If I see anything like Kettleball at Fir Park again I could slip into a football coma! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybingo Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago If the team can have a collective off-day and still not lose, we're doing not too bad. I think everyone needs a wee break, not just the players. There seemed to be a collective anxiety around the place on Saturday, with the prospect of losing a third consecutive game at the end of a fortnight that kicked-off with such high hopes and expectations. Maybe a mental reset is needed before the run-in, just as much as a physical rest. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a mental reset is needed before the run-in, just as much as a physical rest. I think there is that little bit of pressure on the supporters as well as the players when we turn up to Firpark with the expectation of a win rather than simply the hope of one. I think the pressure of the potentially massive prize on offer did get to everyone and as you say there is possibly a mental tiredness as well as a physical tiredness associated with that. Now that the talk of league titles is over the pressure may ease from everyone a little bit. Having said that, I am not convinced that the league title is completely dead in the water and I don't think the players or manager will have given up all hope either. Beat Falkirk and Hearts and things could suddenly look very interesting again particularly when the OF look less than convincing. It may still work in the teams favour that we have been written out of the title race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were always looking for one pass too many. Thor should hsve been on earlier but as a few hsve said, we didnt lose so it worked out just fine in the end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt really think we were in with a genuine chance of winning the title, but just talking about the possibility and thinking about whether I could handle that had me quite emotional. Saturday, I was just fully focussed on 4th place, so there was a nervousness attached to that as well. All compounded by the fact you could see Hibs were forcing us wide and instead of bringing Eythor on to attack crosses we continued to play through the middle. The Scotland games will be a welcome diversion for the next 10 days or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
