Betty Swallicks Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 With 5 minutes to go GMS put in a superb cross after beating his man and there was one player in the box. McLean should be busting a gut to get in the box from that situations, it's one of the reasons his goal tally is so low since he signed. We look a lot better when Tansey plays I'd say. He's got the best dead ball delivery in the squad also. Never going to happen. Some gut to burst that. 1 Link to comment

GDON21 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 A lot of bed wetting going on here. We've had one bad result and it still didn't end up in defeat. Wins away to County, Partick, Hamilton(cup) have all been good results when not at our best. October will be massive especially with us at easter road, either a semi final or at sevco & celtic at home will really test us in the space of 2 weeks. Every other club is being tested though and you only have to look at sevco on Friday night and hibs on Saturday. Our squad rotation just now isn't great but over the season having all these options can only benefit us. Sevco, Hibs & Hearts squads are thin on the ground with a few injuries. Link to comment

mavv1903 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Deek needs to find out his best team and quick, play same team and let them Gel. All this changing for every game is not good. We were shite on Saturday, actually I don't think we have played well all season and been lucky with some results. Now we have to step up and actually start playing teams that will finish in top 6 as up to now only played bottom 6 fodder. (maybe except hearts). We should have taken maximum points from our opening games. Link to comment
NEM Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Shite. McLean had a decent game today. Dunno what game you were at but Mclean was f*cking abysmal, as per usual Link to comment
dave_min Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Dunno what game you were at but Mclean was f*cking abysmal, as per usualAberdeen v Kilmarnock. If you look closely, it's actually the thread title. lol 2 Link to comment
DelMonte Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 he doesn't try ambitious passes, for good reason you really, really are not very brightReally, you've missed the point completely and made yourself look like a mong again. I thought I was blocked by you anyway? Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I reckon Mcinnes should stick with this back four for next few games. Thought the defence did pretty well considering how exposed the midfield left them. Link to comment

The Hulk Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 McLean went mental at Stewart after the equaliser. Them and logan were having a heated exchange for 30 seconds shouting and pointing about positioning. Stewart is a lazy bastard tracking back, he'll follow his man back for a bit then he just stops and leaves Logan with 2 people to mark. Yes, and for anyone not at the game, the BBC highlights didn't air the Greg Stewart shit show 20 seconds before the goal, where he give the ball away under zero pressure and which led to the passage of play that gave Jones his chance to score.It's fine margins for us at the moment, we're only playing well for 20 minute spells and things aren't coming off for us during those spells. If we'd been 2 or 3 up after 20 minutes Killie couldn't complain. We're not getting the ball in the box enough, we're trying to play through the channels too much and not testing the keeper, taking too long to get shots away or make a killer pass. We're a split second of sharpness off the pace. Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's obvious, there is no one capable enough to fill the role of breaking up play in the centre of the field and moving the ball forward, that Jack performed. There are too many individuals who are not operating as a team. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The theory though is surely that we're trying to play the game in their half rather than invite a shitload of pressure onto us as the rat used to do with unfailing regularity. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Fair point. In which case you play a settled back 4 with two sitting midfielders in front. In terms of suitability for that role you would list as a minimum Shinnie and Ball, possibly Tansey before Maclean gets the gig. Two sitting midfielders means only 1 advanced. There seems to be mutual agreement that that's Christie's best position. I've also seen Stewart play well there. Note the absence of Maclean. Nowt against and I've said elsewhere his attitude was spot on on Saturday. But he seems to be getting squeezed out (or rather squeezed in) at the moment and it's potentially hurting us, in an undefeated kind of a way. Link to comment

Stoneybloke Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It is the main issue. You are spot on.Who is ultimately going to fill that role?There is no one at present in the current crop of players. I thought Mclean would be a likely candidate, but he doesn't seem capable at the moment. Perhaps Tansey, although he might play too deep. It's a difficult one. Needs to be sorted urgently.

waldo5 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Dad's got to be the most optimistic poster going. Never a problem with him, only a solution. No matter how far fetched. What a great Dad. Link to comment
Reliablesource Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It is Tansinho Stoney; 100% record with that sexy cunt in the team. Straight in Thursday - biff baff boo; 8-0.Not quite how I'd have put it but that was what we all hoped for I guess. Tansey as a straight swap for the hun cunt. It'll sort itself out though. We have a strong squad and McInness will get them playing how he wants soon enough. Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 That was piss. Even someone who doesn't support a team felt the need to email me and comment on the "disaster" of a draw with killie. The bigger you are, the harder you fall, I guess. Link to comment
