Not sure Kjartansson should be on the pitch, he's not there yet.

Just about to say that. Also looks a bit slow. 

[BigAl]

Fuck off

Switching off at half time

 

[Nordicus]

   Karlsson needs to play

forwards have no control of the ball  

 

[RicoS321]

Clearly someone practices set pieces. Just standard blocking.

[BigAl]

Yet another goal conceded from a set piece

This could get nasty in the second half I fear

I think we are seeing why him and Bilalovic have had limited game time so far.

[The.Moog]

Our defence and defending is just a disgrace.

Our coaching of set pieces and basic defending is a disgrace.

Our lack of ability to do absolute basics is a disgrace.

Complete reset required - again.

We need to clean house, clear the decks all over the park and start again.

Depressing stuff, again…

Bilalovic min,think he might be a bit thick

Possibly first time in front of a crowd that size.  Just needs to calm down.  Has made great runs. 

[wee toon red]

Our intent and work rate has been much improved. Sadly our defending and attacking have remained garbage.

[ErchiePlum]

Same ball from same side and we have lost 3 goals in recent games

very poor

He scored at parkhead 

[Jormungandr]

Our set-piece defending is not even Highland league level.

Curious to see Lurtz ranting away to Leven on the touchline.

[The.Moog]

Ive seen us worse than this down there amazingly enough.

We are unfortunately encumbered with a bunch of players who just cannot do the basics well enough and are just not good enough all over the park.

The “defending” just defies belief…

[redordead]

Half time.  Terrible goals to give away.  Could've scored a couple too. Still a bit soft and disjointed.

Young boys look like the occasion is a bit much for them especially with the added pressure of a new coach.

Defensively I'll give them time to work on better tactics but mitov totally undermines any good work. Easily cost us a dozen points this season already.

Thats a striker with zero confidence.

It’s also a perfect example of how poor we are across the park at the absolute basics - just honking…

He’s a winger anyway, not a striker. 

[ErchiePlum]

We have had a couple of decent breaks and could be going in with a much more positive scoreline ....but

Just keep it respectable boys and have a  real go at them on Sunday

I was talking about Nisbet. A fully firing confident Nisbet takes that ball into the box and buries it…

[Panda]

Despite everything, it's two corner kicks that's the difference. If we just did the basics right we could have been frustrating them while growing into the game.

Think the three at the back is again a waste of time, and our midfield are coming so deep we've six players all in the same area so can't break. Armstrong going on little dribbles outside our own box is achieving what?

Polvara into midfield, Armstrong further forward. I'd actually go 4-4-2.

[BigAl]

Switched off

Simply can't watch any more of this.

Away to watch paint dry

Is it something we're doing though? Are we zonal marking rather than man for man, for example? Two very good balls in it has to be said, but the first isn't something you can address on the training ground, and the second seems to be a switch off. Robson seems to think we should have a guy on the edge of the six yard box. I'm not sure.

Ah sorry my mistake. You’re spot on

Defensively we’ve been an absolute shambles since the Pollock, MacDonald, Scales 3 was broken up.

Too soft, not big enough, not physical enough, not able to do the absolute basics, totally unable to win a header, totally unable to win a challenge against an opponent no matter how big or small they are (Raskin ffs) or clear our lines.

They are also clearly not well coached, its been the same issues and basic errors week after week for literally years now…

I think we're doing man-for-man but being slower to react than them every time. That second one was dropped right into an area where someone should have been, but the hun forward raced onto it first.

Aye, he should have had one thought on his mind there. It was honking from Bilalovic, obviously, but the pass was also way too early and into his feet so he would have had to take a touch and Souttar would have then got there. Nisbet neither looks for goal or draws the defender right across, it was poor from both players.
