Friday will hopefully give us a better idea of where we stand. Unless we sign one or two quality players for in the middle of the park, I predict Friday, and the rest of the season, to be a bit of a slog.

kimosavi Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I don't take friendlies that serious but taking into account our abysmal run of form under Craig i was hoping for a massive reaction even in these friendlies that could fill me with some sort of hope that Craig could turn this around this season. He may do but I'm neither confident or hopefull it will happen under him even with the additions of walker, Washington and halkett. I'll reserve judgement when we play competitive games but next Fridays game against robbies united looks like being an utter borefest game and another mediocre season awaits us all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseyjambo Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 At the end of the day, friendly results mean nothing. Yes it’s nice to win and give the fans a bit of a boost but in truth it is for trying out players and formations. I’m not fussed about the actual results if we are trying to work out our best starting 11. What I do have concerns about is that we are on the eve of the start of the competitive fixtures for this season and the midfield issue still hasn't been fixed. We are still lacking a playmaker and a winger. We almost look like we are again building ourselves up to be reliant on Steven Naismith and that for me is worrying due to his injury record.

Seymour M Hersh Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) I'm not sure I care anymore. Certainly not about todays result as it's only a pre-season warm up game. The game in Scotland is set up for two teams only (and we know who they are) since the blue bigots were liquidated the response from the people that run the game (for the two teams previously mentioned) has been entirely predictable as it is desperately sad and annoying. Why would should get overly angry about performances and results is now beyond me. We will never genuinely challenge the bigot sister and neither will any other "diddy" team (as Cosgrove and the other one like to call us all). The game up here is a busted flush and I despise the GFA and SPFL to the core for it. The pathetic crap from peope wanting Levein sacked or not is irrelevant. No matter who is in charge the best you can ever hope for in Scotland is 3rd. How ****ing depressing and embarrassing is that.

Apparently they had a falling out last week as she wont sanction the signing of anymore players this summer. Could be total BS but hopefully its true.

Kiwidoug Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 For years now we don't seem to have friendlies at home against good oponents where the likely first team has a run in a competitive type of fixture. I think if I was the manager I'd want that. Not sure that fielding around 20 players against very modest oponents achieves much. I honestly believe the club regards the LC group stages as pre-season.

I’d like to think the management have a couple of signings up their sleeve, particularly in midfield. (Which gets repeated daily umpteen times). I am one of his harshest critics and had hoped his words about more creativity was something he was going to resolve. As of yet, and the way he’s been talking, it’s not. It just looks like the same as last season where we are looking towards Naismith as our go to guy. All very well but he’s not available for the LC games. To get any form of favourable last 16 draw we need to finish top of the group and I’m sure that RN is going to turn up on Friday with a point to prove and going into that game with the same midfield as last season worries me due to its lack of movement and guile. 9 minutes ago, Nookie Bear said: I got laughed at for calling that a ‘must-win’ game, but I stand by that. I said pas soon as the draw was made that if we failed to get past the group stage in the LC, he needed to be treated the same as Cathro and got laughed at. Sorry but it stands. Cathro got punted for failing to goals us past the group stage of the LC so any failure on CLs part should be treated the same, especially in light of the poor performances for most of last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is set up for 2 teams only and referees, administrators, wherever they live , are never far away from OF fans. The best solution for us though imo, is to appoint a manager from outwith Scotland, someone with fresh ideas, to give us the best chance of challenging them.
