FirParkCornerExile Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Right now wish I hadn't got a ticket but that will change by Saturday. Right now Id bite your hand off for a point considering we follow up with Celtic and Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Lots of hard talking required between now and Saturday. We need to be much more structured and disciplined to allow us to play our football from a solid base. We also need to be running harder than the opposition, particularly when we lose the ball, to win it back. Do these things and we can win on Saturday. Dont do them, and we could be on the end of another loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 3-0 home win. We are ineffective and the ball is burst. Last night was not a blip it was a sign of things to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Unless the manager sorts out the starting XI and gets the team playing with some sort of coherent tactical plan, I expect more of what we saw against Rangers and Aberdeen. The plan seems to be to retain possession, which is fine and what we want, but beyond that I can see zero effective attacking plan, loads of possession with no end product, weakness in the turnovers, a pathetic press, and a complete lack of ability as a team to win and compete for second balls. The complete opposite of last season. It does make me wonder what he spent the 10 days between those two games drilling into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did well enough in the European games, the HJK home game was a highlight. Hibs away wasn’t great but a massive win and a brilliant move to clinch it. Dundee Utd at home was a very good performance, our best of the season albeit we were playing against ten men from an early stage. Falkirk 0-0 was insipid and dismal, St.Mirren away was a capitulation after a good start and only a great goal at the death saved our blushes. Rangers at Ibrox was a pumping in everything but name. And last night v Aberdeen was a pumping, in both name and in the way we performed. I know people will point to them only having x amount of efforts on goal but I saw nothing from us that was in any way effective whereas Aberdeen were.

mio Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 It’s the most important game we’ve had in a while, we really need a reaction after that horror last night. last season after the St Mirren game we were pretty shell shocked and scrambled a 1-1 at Aberdeen the week after before we found our feet again. Dundee are decent but a bit erratic in their performances. As much as I think we could win this, I think I’d settle for a draw. A clean sheet preferably 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always love the analysis that consists of downplaying the wins and positives, but absolutely playing up the losses and negatives. Can't beat it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulson SOD JKL MM Williams Fadinger Hodge Said Lowry Longelo PH Similar lines to what I’d pick, possibly Levitt for Hodge and I think I’d go for Thor up top. I think he has something to offer more than PH. I’d maybe also shift SODs and JKL my concern with Alfred is he’s potentially blinkered a bit by Sparrow’s effort v ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Thor or PH up front, either one is worth a try although I think PH is a bit more mobile as first line of defense when we loose the ball but if we are going to throw crosses in perhaps Thor is the better choice there? I’d also be fine with Levitt instead of hodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellup83 Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 O'Donnell has surely got to start at the weekend. We need a stable 'old head' at the back to keep things organised. Also, I'm not sure what condition he'll be in but when's Mcginn back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a worrying lack of experience in the team and we're short of a right back. SOD's best days RB days may be over but surely he's a better option than Sparrow there? Our defence in the league this season has been poor and we need to shake things up in that department. Paul McGinn. At best months, but will he make the first team again?

That said i would be starting Sod, Bjorgolffson, palmer Houlden and Said as we need to have more of a threat up top and some experience at the back, after Tuesday nights shambles.
