Geoff Kilpatrick Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Zlamal - 6 - Ok. Pity his defence didn't listen to his shouts. Smith - 7 - Bonus points for a screamer of a strike. Otherwise he was below par. Mulraney - 4 - Awful. At fault for the goal and couldn't cross the road. Souttar - 5 - Didn't look comfortable in the back 3 Haring - 5 - Best contributions were going forward and yet he missed two free headers Berra - 5 - Possibly his worst game since coming back. He looked troubled anytime he was on the ball or challenging for it. Bozanic - 4 - Not sure what he contributed but whatever it was, it didn't leave a lasting impression Lee - 4 - See Bozanic Lafferty - 4 - Looked as slow as a week in the jail and went off injured. The fact we were better with him off the pitch says a lot Naismith - 5 - Was actually better without Lafferty and when we went to 4 at the back as he drifted into positions to get onto the ball Burns - 7 - MoM. Never let the head drop, stayed hungry and generally maintained possession. He's a good find. Subs: Keena - 5 - Offered more than Lafferty Morrison - 5 - Few good runs stretched the Raith defence. Crossing wasn't the best though. McDonald - 5 - Should have been on earlier. Had the vision to unlock their defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 For me Zlamal - 6 no chance with the goal. Good saves in the penalties too Haring - 7 like the look of him. Good tempo passing and a bit of urgency throughout, always wanted the ball too Berra - MOTM 8 a few shaky moments but I felt he did alot right and cut out some dangerous moves for them well Souttar - 6 defensively he did fine. Good penalty as well Bozanic - 6 he looked ok. He has a terrific passing range Lee - 6 did some good things. But he didn't control the midfield like I thought would. Burns - 7 I can see him improving rapidly here. Great set pieces and great energy Smith - 6 quality strike. He redeemed himself and I do think we could get a better right back Mulraney - 7 looks a good footballer. A bit more confidence I think he could be very good Naismith - 7 I think he had a good game. Made some good runs and was just waiting for that killer pass. I hope our wingers and creative midfielders can improve as he is still an excellent footballer Lafferty - 5 just a bad day at the office. Bad choices and really he missed a sitter for him Subs Morrison - 7 looked excellent the whole time he was on Keena - 6 caused them a few problems. Some nice footwork McDonald - 6 nice wee flick into Smith and he looked direct and energetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campbell Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Is there an alternative universe where we played them as well, we had a 8 for Berra and a 2 for burns! I honestly worry about some of our supporters Berra, Smith, Souttar. Lee, Bozanic, Naismith, Mulraney, McDonald , Keena 5s Zlamal, Haring, Burns, Morrison, 6 lafferty 4 Levein 5 waited to long to change it to a 4 at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamhammer Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Zlamal - 6 - Looks mental. Swept up well. No chance with goal. Commanding. Smith - 6 - Great strike. Tendency to hold on to the ball for too long still. Mulraney - 4 - The goal is entirely down to him not attacking the forward pass then jogging back to play the goal scorer on. Has pace and nowt else on this evidence. Souttar - 6 - Better than Berra Haring - 5 - Should have scored Berra - 5 - Seemed to struggle. Nothing wrong with his goal though Bozanic - 5 - Got involved more than Lee Lee - 4 - Hope this was just a fluke. Was looking forward to seeing what in impact he will make. Anonymous. Lafferty - 5 - Slow. Unfit and disinterested. Again hope it's a fluke because we will need him Naismith - 5 - Better later on and seems to play better without Lafferty, which is a concern. Burns - 7 - Looks a find. Certainly not out of his depth. Subs: Keena - 4 - No service Morrison - 5 - Gave us a bit of energy at least. McDonald - 5 - Hope this Billy Big Baws chat is just that, chat because he looks like a player. Levein - 5. Of those available I can understand the team selection but he needs to stress to these players that THAT level of performance is NEVER acceptable here.

Cruyff Turn Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Burns is the only player who gets a 7 out of 10 over the 90 minutes. Bob Zlamel did little wrong. Haring, ok, solid enough.

Debut 4 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Zlamal 6 Berra. 6 plenty dig as usual Haring. 6. Looks reasonable in possession once in midfield. Caught out of position in defence at times. Souttar. 6. ------------------ Smith 5. Great strike but otherwise hides. Safe, ordinary player who never busts a gut. Bozanic. 6. Puzzled as to why he got subbed. At least plays with energy and willingness. Lee. 5. Not too mobile, has touches but not involved enough. Burns. 6. As Bozanic but not much end product yet. Mulraney 4. Technically poor on the day, seems a bit soft. Holds back in tackles. ----------- The Duke. 4. Not at the races. Naismith. 5. Must show more given his quality. ------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramrod Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 First look at Bozanic and Lee and they both looked dreadful tbh . Lee basically hid the whole game in a very influential position and Bozanic looked awful . Burns didn't really impress , same with Mulroney although his first 15 mins were decent . Goalkeepers distribution was far to slow and laboured in comparison to Big Jon . A truly awful performance with very little positives apart from a great goal from Smith .

Maroon tinted glasses 2 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 It seems that the majority of the players had an off day today which can happen but its early on so I won't start judging already. I only hope this isn't going to be a continuation of our brutal away form over the last two seasons though. The pitch today was really bad and a great advert of why they shouldn't be allowed in professional games as the bounce was dulled and each pass was painful to watch as it was like kicking a ball through custard. My biggest concern is that we still seem to lack pace up front and although we do seem well set for set pieces ect I would still like to see a bit of bite through the middle of attack if needed.

Regular John Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) We clearly needed more depth in centre midfield with us relying so much on the likes of Cochrane last season, however Bozanic and Lee look nowhere near the calibre we already have. Haring looks like a diet Augustyn, not that impressed and the keeper looks like he should be playing for a pub team, doesn't look at all comfortable with the ball at his feet. Overall only the boy Burns impressed for me, the rest look absolute gash. Edited July 21, 2018 by Regular John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Form Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 For some reason I don’t think Naismith and Lafferty click. They very rarely combine successfully which is a major problem. I’d say Lafferty needs left out on Tuesday after today’s non-performance. Time to try other pairings up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogan3012 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Zlamal - 6 didn’t have anything to do for 90 minutes smith - 4 gets a plus one for the goal apart from that didn’t even know he was playing for the 1st 70 minutes mulraney - 5 hope he just needs more confidence because he was terrible today, is not a LWB and couldn’t cross his fingers constantly lost his man (see cove rangers goal). Berra harring soutar - 6 poor were against one striker and still struggled some of the passes were beyond bad hope it’s just lacking match sharpness lee bozniac - 5 anonymous really struggled against journeymen midfielders totally out worked burns - 7 tried his best and when moved to the left put in some decent crosses naismith - 5 poor when up top with lafferty then started dropping deeper and deeper lafferty - 5 don’t know if he was genuinely injured/unfit or couldn’t be bothered but was pretty poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have played it differently, could have kept Morrison in from the start because we created nothing down the right in the first half, but I don't know what they've been working on as it clearly wasn't working today. Lee and Bozanic were poor, you'd think they'd have the ability to create through the middle. Naismith was shite, Lafferty was dug piss, maybe he was right to call them out but the way we played probably did effect everyone until the change, which was a bit late in the day. it'll be interesting to see if he preserve s with 3 at the back of scraps it and plays with 4.
