So no signs so far that we’ve improved, yet. Replace Dundee United with St Mirren, Livi, Dundee from last seasons and it’s the same story repeating ........this finding solace in mediocrity is killing us. Tonight if we fail to win it will be “it’s a crap park”, “wait till Naismith is fit”, “Uche isn’t match sharp” etc etc. There where some positives from Friday but ultimately nothing to get carried away with as it all added up to us failing to beat a championship side. If you want to find negatives you will, Hearts will win tonight whether we play 442 or not. And I'm not sure fans opinions of performances is killing or making us tbh.

Not injured, played on Sat in bounce game at Tynie, just left out he interesting to see if he is in squad tonight. Would like to see more of McDonald in these games he looked sharp against ICT.

Fans acceptance of 5-0 defeats to Livi, back to back 6th place finishes etc etc and the acceptance of the excuse culture we’ve created is killing us. That in turn makes us drop the bar of expectation. I agree about tonight but I’d still like to see a change in shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naisysback Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 7 hours ago, WheatfieldWarrior said: In that case, Zanatta, Moore, Wighton( if fit), Edwards or Burns would be possibilities. Probably Zanatta is most likely. McDonald the natural one to come in for Walker, none of the others played in that position. Burbs a lb, never a midfielder, Edwards a cm, Moore a wide left as is zanatta and Wighton is a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Would quite like to see Clare and Bozanic playing together. Think they could compliment each other really well. Bozanic is a grafter who likes to win the ball, pass, then move. Clare likes to drive forward when he gets the ball. Be interested to see how they operate together.

We have also played it in every pre season match, we’ve only won one match. 442 didn’t work on Friday. IMO of course. We didn’t fail to win because we played 4-4-2 though! We failed to win because we didn’t take our chances. There was more creativity, inter-play, link-up and fluidity in that performance on Friday than in any game in the past six months. The formation worked really well. The fact we’re halfway through pre-season meant we were rusty in front of goal. A similar performance tonight with better finishing will see the game buried by half time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpruceBringsteen Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 From what I remember of last year, Cowdenbeath were a team of neanderthal hatchet men. Without Naisy, I unfortunately don't see many in our squad that would subtly rattle one of their jaws should they start their hammer throwing shite again this time. Still predict a comfortable 4 or 5 goal win, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will most likely be commentary only, home games are streamed because we have our own cameras, away games are generally only if the game is being shown on TV (BT, Sky,, BBC, Alba) as we can tap into their feed OR if the home team have their own feed and allow us access and i doubt that Cowden have that.
