aberdeen1970 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 On the positive side I thought the defence and central midfield played the ball out well today. The attacking options are a real collection of misfits though. Link to comment

A talented but injury prone player who wants out. There's many more issues in the team that Hedges won't be able to fix. Hedges would make a huge difference to this side - only player we have that can beat a man and create. Need to be binning useless cunts like Ojo and McRorie and offering their wages to Hedges to stay Link to comment
RUL Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Fairly awful performance I thought. The midfield 3 doesn't work, no pace, no creativity. Front 3 doesn't work, leaves defence exposed in terms of on the wings, no quality at all going forward. Thought bates looked good and mccrorie was decent beside him. Gallagher got to do better at goal. Depressing as fuck overall. We've run out of ideas. All hope on Hedges. Ojo is shite. Link to comment

What position was JET meant to be playing? He certainly wasn't supporting Ramirez. Ferguson looked disinterested. said to my loon today - “here’s (34 years old) Hayes and McGinn on to save the day.” Link to comment

I'd keep him because he's trying to play the right way, and it's currently not working, and hope it works. I think on this current trend we can maybe afford til November before he'll be excused. Happy to wait and see. Aye but remember how long Man U gave Fergie blah blah blah. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Can we get this Samuels boy to the same place that Gurr and Jenks have ended up? Every time he got the ball you just knew he was heading down a cul de sac. Easy to defend against. Slightly annoyed that they finally sussed on that they needed pace up front and then gambled everything on this rookie. Link to comment

That said, while I'm not downplaying this rotten 7 game run, the initial impact seemed a good one, so why has it gone so drastically wrong so quickly? I also fear we are in danger of repeating history, in that we point fingers at a manager and overlook the wider problems that contribute to the rot. We must not make that mistake again. It’s been downhill since the rookie mistake at Raith. Any positive momentum was derailed there and then. Ramirez scored 4 goals from his first 5 chances. Dropped at Raith looked like Darren Mackie reincarnated since. Couldn’t hit a coo’s erse with a banjo. You don’t drop an inform striker. Basics Link to comment

Today's performance had no redeeming features and very difficult to see anything that can be improved. It may have to get a lot worse before it gets better. Cormack's inadequacies are glaringly obvious. Is he any better than Milne? Should never have appointed his pal but can’t fault the backing he’s gave him. This circa 30 man squad must be costing an absolute fucking fortune in wages Link to comment
Joe pike Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Terrible performance today. Slow and lacklustre. Lewis - Looked slow going down for the goal but yet to see it again. 2 fullbacks very subdued , especially Ramsay. Bates looked steady McCrorie still looks like he has a mistake in him. Brown steady game ,did'nt waste much. Ojo. did nothing positive. Ferguson- I've seen tankers turn faster than him.,did nothing of note. Ramirez - shocking.Did nothing but foul and dive. Jet - Frustrating Samuels - Decent 1st half.Give him a try through the middle. 3 subs all shite. 1 Link to comment

Ramirez does drop to the ground a bit easy - maybe a "cultured" player that we have been lacking. Although most of them back it up by getting wired in. I feel bad for him though as I think he has goals in him in this league but is having to come back to get involved. McGinn - why bother. Maybe thru the middle but doesnt appear to be an option anyone wants to try. Link to comment

I would try to disagree with you as I thought his hold up play was decent enough. But we've not signed him for hold up play. We've signed him to score goals. When he had the opportunity to score today, he fluffed his lines badly. Link to comment
S2RDS Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I mean let's face it, he isn't going anywhere before Christmas that is for sure and perhaps to an extent, he shouldn't. I hate the culture of sacking managers after winless runs, especially when they haven't been at a club very long. But like many others, I was wary of the appointment initially and it looked like most of us were wrong about him at the start, but Raith was the game where I started to fear that Glass wasn't the right appointment. We have done absolutely nothing since we beat that Breidablik, nor do we look like we will and our initial new manager bounce has long since frazzled away, leaving us with a side that looks unlikely to do anything this season. That squad must be costing an arm and a leg and I had concerns about throwing money at Glass when we looked to be struggling financially through Covid. The books wont read well, that I am certain of and the more this charade carries on, the worse it will be. DC seems a decent enough bloke, but i dont think he has a clue about how to run a football club and even someone with half a football brain could see that Glass was a massive fucking risk, one that i cant see every paying off. Maybe a bit pant pishing, but I am concerned about the season ahead for sure. Link to comment

Asked about the 7 game winless streak & if it worried him… ”I’d be more worried if we weren’t getting in to situations”. what situations is this? We’re creating very little. Also a bit tetchy in general. Tyrone said “you were promising attacking, swashbuckling football when you took over”… Glass snapped back “you’re putting words in my mouth - I’ve never said”. Sounded snappy & an under pressure man to be honest. If he’s never said that then he can definitely get to fuck Link to comment

Yeah, I do remember 1 bad pass, but otherwise broke up countless of their attacks. we were solid enough with McCrorie and Bates. worrying thing for me was the players fitness. Samuels off at 60 mins (probably protected) McGinn on for JET. They wanted to take Ojo off, but couldn’t as Bates had to go off. Brown had to get the substitution stopped.

aberdeen1970 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Was Ramsay asked to cool his jets today and play more defensively? Wasn't as swashbuckling going forward as previous games. Seemed to have the shackles on a wee bit. Link to comment

REDRODDIE Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Disappointing afternoon but not fully unexpected. Bates looks comfortable the only real positive. Not really getting the hate for Mcrorie I think they could do well together. Ramirez was a waste of a shirt today, fully worse than a man down had 2/3 good opportunities you’d expect to at least get on the end of and make something happen. He had a pitiful dive at one point and I almost felt sorry for him. He looked out his depth- Efe ambrose must’ve enjoyed playing against him. We are completely unbalanced the whole Jet and ojo swapping positions when they felt like it did absolutely nothing. Only width on the right hand side was Ramsay- team expecting an awful lot of him at such a young age. Samuels the only real threat wouldn’t have minded him swapping wings at times and trying to get inside instead of always outside on the left but credit to him he was lively and always looked to get on the ball. Not panicking yet like but we’ve had a fairly easy run of league fixtures and not come up with the goods. Link to comment
