We don’t play Richardson or kennedy, and we put mccrorie in midfield. You’ve surely heard me express my frustrations with Barron and clarkson together, I feel we are a better team with mccrorie’s drive, workrate, and presence in midfield. While it has been rangers and Celtic, nothing this week has told me our defense has become better, and all I’m hearing is the negativity about multiple areas of our team. Why not give Milne a shot?

Definitely a big game now. Lose this and what a shit week. given goodwin said we were tired yesterday, surely things will be freshened up. roos Milne Stewart scales Ramadani vinny mccrorie clarkson hayes ramirez duk please. 2-1 us, mccrorie and duk

It has absolutely everything to do with goodwin. We were fine until the 65th minute or so when he subbed, went with no forwards, and changed tactics. That changed the game and it was his doing. Who else can you blame?? after the second goal we should have gone with our strength, which is more attack than defend. Be brave. The Huns were there for the taking at that point. Going with no forwards and sitting back suited them perfectly and just like the Celtic game, it was only a matter of time before they scored. last night was also a game where experience was needed. Bring on Ramirez who would have offered so much more than morris and put wadkins wide. That’s a no brainer to me. Again, Goodwin’s call.

Someone please explain the subs? Mackenzie for coulson I get. Why morris instead of Vinny or Duncan? Seen nothing to suggest, defensively or in attack, that morris can do more. In fact, we’ve all seen morris is total shite and has nothing to offer. I’m not wrong here. surely to defend for 30 mins you do need a forward. Why not Ramirez for miovski, at least to give some sort of attacking threat?? This is up there with levein and his 4-6-0 game. I can understand Watkins for duk, speed and physical play to support the attack. But there was no attack to support and he had nowhere to go when he got the ball. lastly, maybe it’s just me, but bringing on 3 subs at once, especially with a tactical change. That’s tough to adapt with new tactics and personnel changes all at once. I’m sober and totally stunned with our subs and tactical changes when the game for the most part had gone well up until that point. I cannot understand what explanation goodwin can say??? Baffled that he fucked this up so badly. Really badly on the back of a huge embarrassment against Celtic.

I’m not disappointed or gutted. Just angry. Saw it coming on Saturday and again tonight. We’re weak defensively and sit back against the best two teams in the league we’ll lose. seriously looks like over the winter break goodwin has become mcinnes. And there’s a reason we sacked him. ideal game to bring Ramirez on, but how do you counter attack with no forward for 30 mins? We looked like a kids team in attack, dribble or kick ball for the last 30 mins, both resulting in us losing the ball. Criminal the Morris run that finished with a cross to nobody when we desperately needed to keep the ball upfield and Morris easily could have done. Right before their second goal too. ramadani was good tonight, but needs help. Can’t get over it though, managers subs and tactics cost us. Morris should never play, Watkins isn’t a center or attacking mid. The lack of depth at center mid killed us today too.

Very quiet today. Fuck Jim Goodwin. Tactics shit against Celtic and his subbing and tactics cost us that game. All season we’ve been shit defensively so let’s sit back and defend. At 2-1 kick on against a very average rangers. Awful to play with no forward for almost 30 mins. Criminal.

Goodwin learning fast that mcinnes tactics are shit. And the fans don’t like it. Fuck off.

Ha. You wrote my post!

Morris????

I’d chuck ramirez on in 10 mins is miovski doesn’t sharpen up. Give Ramirez decent time.

Nice free kick and 1-1 at half is about fair. Some decent stuff at times, but as I already mentioned, a huge hole in midfield crying out for a center mid. We're playing a bit like kids. Lots of huff and puff and silly fouls. Will be surprised if we finish with 11.

Ramdani should have scored. Ugh. 100 miles an hour stuff, no real composure in midfield. Clarkson and Barron don't work as a pair, we must get a central midfielder who can pull the strings. To be honest I don't think we get nearly enough from Barron. It's not bad though, but it's a lot of huff and puff but still limited in the final ball and quality..

You know your football so I assume you are meaning the Brazilian box midfield there with width from fullbacks Cafu Kennedy and Roberto Carlos coulson? I think mccrorie has an influence in games in midfield so I’d play him there, but I still don’t see Goodwin dropping miovski. 2-1 us, duk and mccrorie.

Richardson is certainly the target of many, but I don’t think he’s as bad as people say. Then again I don’t nearly see us play as much as you all do, but he’s also a young guy that can be developed. My issue is we have a large squad and Richardson, mccrorie, even Kennedy can play right back or wing back. If our midfield is better there’s less pressure on the defense, a better midfield results in a stronger defense. We have no central midfield depth, or competition for places. No experienced/influential presence. We’re much more direct/long ball as the season has progressed, we need a midfielder running the show. Ramadani is purely defensive and we’re relying on two young kids. That’s not good enough for us IMHO and our increased directness is a product of a weak midfield.

After watching that shite today it reminds me how much we desperately need a central midfielder. Barron and clarkson aren’t the combo, it has to be one of them and a more experienced head. While today was extreme we went 8 at the back and 2 up top for the most part, bypassing midfield and going long. Definitely a hard position to fill but a Jim Bett type that will run a game from midfield. We lack that player/experience/leadership. All the noise we’ve heard is defensive signing focus in this windows but we have a large squad with a number of players who can play wing back or right back, we really lack any sort of depth in center mid.

It was a 100% mcinnes tactical performances when we hold on as long as we can but eventually lose the goal. While it hurts to lose a goal so late it’s totally what we deserved. We didn’t try to win, don’t recall us having a shot, and it was 2 up top with 8 defenders for most of the game. 1 and 9 when miovski went off.

We gave them 80% possession for the game and they had 33 shots. It took us a month of prep to play like that!?! Defensively we didn’t look too bad but now scales comes in during the week so it’s now change. Plus let’s be honest, Celtic did miss a few chances and 4-0 wouldn’t have been unfair.

Harsh. He’s a good player. No point in playing him today if this is our tactics, not the game for him at all.

What a horrible game to watch. Hang on for 90 mins and hope. Thought being done with DM meant we’d not see this shit. I don’t expect us to out play them but this ffs.

Well this is shit. It’s just a matter of when.

Anyone know if the club shop is the only place I can buy this years strip? Looking for a home top in large and seems like they’ve been sold out for a while.

Belter of a goal, long corner played out to the edge of the box, cracker of a volley from clarkson.

Critical I know, but says a lot about the competition when Matty Kennedy looks our best player. Morris is such a panic buy, yet to see anything from him this season that suggests he’s good enough for us.

Pretty dire stuff. Playing Atlanta B and youth players and their keeper hasn’t had a save.

But do we need a right back since we seem to be a 3-5-2 team now?? Don’t we have bigger priorities? We have an abundance of wing backs/wingers at the club…..although most are shit to be fair.
