GorgieFifeLife Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Good first half with a lot of good movement going forward and making chances albeit we were wasteful in front of goal. The second half was a dreadful performance. Very little in the way of good link up play and too much passing along the back line before Berra shells it forward. Cowdenbeath got closer to us 2nd half and we couldn't handle it as we don't move the ball quickly enough. Plenty work to be done yet and you could see Levein was furious with some of the play in that 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Robbo Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Yeah second half was worse and they did seem to press us more. As CL said after the match we should really have scored a few more. Thought Halkett looked solid at the back, good goal and a bit of pace. Burns was probably the poorest player out there tonight but to his credit he never hid from the ball.

It was hard to tell against that opposition, but he looked to have the tools to play there and he wasn't overawed by a physical team. We'll need to see him against better opposition and alongside Haring or our new midfielder to really judge, though. Bozanic was his usual self, good work rate and a useful player, but not quite top four in the Premiership good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanwilson1970 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Thought McDonald was excellent and Zanatta also for most of the game, was really good to see and with these 2 and also Walker, Mulraney, Morrision and Conor Smith we are well covered out wide. Bozanic and Clare we solid even though I was hoping to see Cochrane play tonight. Still think we are missing a decent right back if Smith gets injured. Rest of the squad looks really good, tonight was good for 65 minutes and then we took the sting out the game. Also surprised that none of our young or fringe players have went on loan yet.
