redordead Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 The penalty kicked us into life. Now gutted we never won it. Makes for a big one next week. That has to have dented hacken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Think defence was our weak link tonight,but a work in progress.Looked great in spells going forward.Lot of good signs,McGrath and McGarry showed promise in the wee spell they were on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 What an ending to that one. Caught the second half and have to say that the subs changed the game tonight. Great to see McGarry doing McGarry things, was positive going forward and I was impressed with McGrath. Great energy, they were lucky to have 10 players left imo, but we should have nothing to fear next week. start that team that finished the game and we should be ok.

tom_widdows Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Miovski's control for this goal is a thing of beauty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 If the team that finished the game, except Sokler, had started it I think we win that comfortably tonight. Pretty confident we should put them away at home. Only concern is Miovski’s performance tonight may attract some bids before the window closes. As has been said he was outstanding tonight.

tlg1903 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) That Miovski finish was world class imo, he knew exactly what he was doing. Agree with Rico, I now have the fear someone will try and poach him before the window closes next week. The most key introduction for me was MacDonald and moving Devlin to rwb (and Devlin is starting to look great business incidentally). All of a sudden we became solid and when mcgrath and mcgarry came on they couldn't handle us at all. I think we will batter them at Pittodrie 2bh. Pen is a joke btw, you can't even say for certain it even hit his hand. I don't think we will get a proper feel for what this team is all about until sometime in October but they clearly know how to fight for a result and that encourages me greatly.

OrlandoDon Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Of course I knew I was right! Said earlier in the week devlin at right wing back and we’ll see goals and assists. Although what’s he doing at the #9 and most advanced position for his goal!?? a week of training with mcgarry mcgrath and Jensen, plus I’m sure they’ll see minutes against st Mirren on Sunday, and that’s three solid additions for the 2nd leg. Assuming Jensen isn’t shite. Looking forward to the team we put out next week, plus a solid result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Fans were superb tonight from what I could tell. Was Miovski getting pelters from the home support, because he (and Devlin) both made a point of gesturing to the fans behind that goal when we equalised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 As someone famously once sang "Oh What A Night" that was. On holiday and watched the game via a stream in a taverna with a bunch of bemused Greeks who have now adopted us as their Scottish Had to watch the end with sound down as volume turned up on big screen for PAOK game. Got to confess to more than a little bit of a sore head this morning. Miovski was outstanding last night. McGrath is going to make me eat my words if he continues like that. McGarry very positive looking also. Devlin's finish superb. Ross who ?? Morrice and Duncan didn't have great games, Polvara the weak link in the middle. Squad taking shape nicely and good times ahead. Anyway, two hours ahead here, it's my round guys, anyone want a Mythos or an Ozuo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he is, McKenzie was very good last night. Defensively very strong, and once MacDonald provided the balance, he began to get forward a little. He gets zero marks off for the penalty, which is just a failed change to the rules that nobody seems to accept. One shite cross field pass in the second too (which Morris neither went for, or tracked back after), but otherwise solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Agree McKenzie was solid last night but plenty in our fan base will still have him as a scapegoat. Penalty decision was fucking ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 First half we were a defensive disaster mainly due to playing Morris and Duncan as wing backs. We basically had no cover in the wing back areas which they identified playing numerous high diagonals into, in particular, the right wing back area, dragging our centre halves wide to cover and putting us under pressure. When we moved Devlin in there in the second half and brought on Angus McDonald the problem was sorted. Second half Miovski and Devlin were both outstanding, Shinnie covered every blade of grass and the McG's were both excellent when they came on. I also liked the look of Sokler. Overall there was plenty to be positive about but we cannot start games with that line up very often and expect a result, particularly in Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem with Sokler is that it's difficult to tell the difference between him and Miovski. The club have either got to stop playing them together or force one of them into a drastic haircut. Miovski was here first, so it really should be Sokler that takes the punishment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Went on to buy my tickets for Hacken at home and the traditional away end was the only section with tickets left, and even then there wasn't many left, so expecting the sold out signs up soon.

Panda Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 That Hacken red card might be slightly harsh. Makes up for the penalty I guess. ed195724-a8c2-40a5-a0e8-40feac389132.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh booking, we'd be raging if it happened to us. Had it been a straight red rather than a second yellow, VAR would have overturned it.

It was a deliberate pull back and would be a yellow most weeks. I agree that the player makes a meal of it. There were a couple of times prior when Rubezic was in a similar position and he let the player go, which is what their defender should have done here. Great to see Miovski taking them on though, he should do more of that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
