Deevers Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Looked far better when we went to a flat back four. For me 3-5-2 just does not work in most games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB52 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I can't see how anyone can play football on that pitch. The ball was bouncing 10/yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's high time the SFA got to grips with this issue. Some of these synthetic pitches kill the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Burns, Naismith, Morrison and Smith. Ninety minutes of that on Tuesday please. I'm afraid it was more to do with the situation of the game. We had to come alive at some point but at the moment it doesn't look like 2nd nature for us to play that way from the beginning of matches. Most teams react in any game anywhere in that scenario. There's a lot of convincing to be done in respect of changing our approach to games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t adapt to different conditions week to week ? That was an altogether shocking performance and I have one player with pass marks. One !! If that’s not a one off and this is where we are as a team, we are in serious trouble. THIS IS NOT PRE SEASON Sorry but it's absolutely preseason, these cup games have replaced the endless preseason friendlies we use to have against lower level teams(some of which we would lose) I know these games are competitive and the cup is important but it doesn't detract from the fact these games are still about getting the players up to speed, bedding I'm new signings (an entire team in our case) tweeking and doing all the things we would usually do pre season And I'm sorry but that pitch absolutely had a baring on the game today, it was absolutely brutal If they turn in a similar performance at tynie this week then I'd be worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Would put it down to them being knackered, Chris Sutton mentioned that in the commentary. Really need to be less predictable in the final third, they knew we were crossing it every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulraney started on fire but drifted out the game and was at least partly to blame for their goal. I thought Berra looks uncomfortable on the left of the three at the back. The interplay today was non existant. Thought burns was well out his depth but being out of position didnt help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like the 3-5-1-1 or whatever we started with today. Makes us narrow. Yet it didn’t against Cove. Anyway. Shite performance, must improve - but a new team can’t gel in two games.
