Hey ho. Onwards and upwards.

 

What's everyones feeling about this game 

 

I'd stick with the side that did us proud tonight, should put Hibs to the sword no bother and claim 3rd.

 

C'MON DONS

 

 

 

 

I can't agree with that atall!

 

I thought Mair had a very conposed game, I was surprised when he came off, although - it was for an injury?!

 

As for Mulgrew, woeful again! Also, him and Smith seemed to have an arguement every time there was a set piece. For me Smith > Mulgrew with a dead ball.

 

I won't be there Saturday, but i'm pretty confident that Hibs will bare the brunt of our backlash, which sets us up nicely to fail against Motherwell, when i'll be there 

 

I think the international break is coming a week too late for us.

 

I agree re: Mair, I thought he didn't do anything wrong at all and was raging when he got subbed (but was later told he was injured) so thats fair enough. I wonder how many folk who actually have tickets will not bother going this Saturday.

I can't agree with that atall!

 

I thought Mair had a very conposed game

 

Aye, what could Mair have done in the game?  I don't think he put a foot wrong and he did what was required when put under pressure, got rid of the ball or played it to another player in red.

 

The centre of defence was pretty solid, Mair and Diamond did all that was asked of them.  In actual fact, defensively we did alright last night, it was going forward that was the problem.  As soon as the defenders played the ball forward the attacking players had no f*cking clue what to do with it.  I turned to my mate after about 10 minutes and said that we were lacking an urgency in the game.  The time it was taking them to spread play was painful to watch.  For some unknown reason the majority were guilty of holding onto it for way too long.

 

Aluko tried to stay as wide as possible for most of the game to stretch play and did alright when he had it.  The amount of time he was standing free shouting for the ball but not getting it was unbelievable.  But again the movement when Aluko did get the ball was shocking.  No angled runs across defenders, no runs in behind the defence, no-one screaming to collect the ball.  No-one willing to stand up and take the game by the scruff of the neck.

 

It was horrible watching so called professional players stand in the middle of a pitch looking for a pass whilst his team-mates just stood around scratching their arses.

 

I really felt sorry for Kerr as there was a number of times he had the ball looking for a pass and there was absolutely no movement at all from Mackie/Maguire/Smith/Severin.  I can't even think of a time where Severin ran past him to give him the angle.  Even the fullbacks would run up in support then just stop when they got level with the player on the ball.  There was absolutely no drive or direction from anyone bar Kerr, Aluko and Diamond late in the game.

 

This continued for God knows how long until we started playing the long ball, an absolutely disastrous tactic considering we had Maguire and Mackie up-front.

 

F*ck sake, I've just wound myself up again... :hammer:

 

 

Out : Miller, Mair, Mackie - possibly Smith and Aluko

(needs to talk to the latter two apparently.. ken fit talking i'd be doing a rocket fired up the fuckin arse..

 

I'd go with the following -

 

Langfield

Foster Severin Diamond Mulgrew

Young Kerr McDonald Aluko

Smith

Wright

 

If Aluko out then play Considine at LB with Mulgrew LM

If Smith out then Maguire behind Wright.

 

Options are pretty few and far between...

The game is on Alba.

 

We're doomed.

i noticed that too, thought i'd keep quiet and hoped no-one would notice

We're doomed.

 

Have we not won when our game has been on Alba?

Utd and Hibs didn't beat us?

Not thought about this match until now as Im sorting out the tickets for tomorrow. Strangely instead of people dropping out the phone keeps going with people looking for tickets 

 

 

I reckon it will be -1 each tomorrow. 

Pretty certain we've lost everytime we've been on Alba 

 

Was the St Mirren game not broadcast on Alba, the Saturday night after it was played, in which if it was the answer to your question is No.

 

Mind you, we were a baw hair away from it

Remember and do your predictors folks!

NO1 BI-POLAR FAN 

Team:

 

Langfield

Foster

Diamond

Considine

Mulgrew

Smith

McDonald

Severin

Kerr

Aluko

Wright

By the sound of BBC radio Foster is playing ok

Going by the stats, JC's half time team talk seems to have had completely the wrong effect. 

What was Kerr sent off for?

Headbutting Jones the Giraffe

 

No - I'm still completely steamin from last night - tried to keep pace with the girls and they were drinking doubles, should've stuck to pints 

 

 

 

1 point more than I thought we'd get!

ditto

I thought we played some nice stuff today but again we were absolutely toothless in front of goal. Kerr and Smith played well (apart from the sending off) and it was good to see McDonald back in the team.

 

Mulgrew however can go, I couldn't care less about his supposed ability from set pieces since he hasn't scored from a free kick in ages and apart from that he offers absolutely nothing.

I was very surprised we didn't concede today by the sound of things on the radio, but it did also sound like we were good going forward, just again absolutely horrendous infront of goal. This needs to be addressed big time and FAST!  Still, a point more than I expected from today.

Hibs were getting space in behind our defence, but they have Fletcher and Nish up front, so they were never that likely to score.

Haha yeah it did sound like they absolutely honking infront of goal today! Just worries me though, if we actually play a team that can score goals we'll  get a hammering  Ah well, at least it was sunny I guess eh? What were the players reactions after the match Padre? Any banners like there were ( post that game last season) at smeltic park last season?
