Skacelsid Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Daniel was not happy with the second half display, and will address it. He did comment we defended "so bad". We are pushing on but our defence was all over the place, mainly due to Souttar and Halkett having to continually sweep behind Clare and White, there is plenty of attacking options in front of the four, the WBs do not both need to be out of the defensive line at the same time. they need to be smarter. Every team will counter-attack us. There may be a case for a three, and either of Sibbick, Smith and now Langer could be used. We have though four points from Gers and Perth, difficult games, that is more than acceptable. We will not defend our way up the league under DS, the philosophy will not change, our players are still adapting and will improve. It may also be that it is more demanding playing the press on bigger playing dimensions away from Tynie. We move on and go again, Killie will be difficult and is massive ( especially with Hamilton playing St Mirren ) as is every game for the rest of the season. 3 pts.

Anybody else feel that the second half disappointment was due (in part at least) to Sibbick having been injured at the end of the first half. He wasn't anywhere near as effective after half time, allowing St J more into the match. Edited February 3, 2020 by Horatio Caine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blair835 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Anyone who couldn't see that once Sibbick got the injury on Saturday which affected the game so much shouldn't watch football. The guy just wasn't the same which put the defence under alot more pressure than required. Clare and white are more than welcome to. Bomb forward but we need a fit Sibbick or Smith in there to step back and cover them when they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E6 Inc Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 We'll always play the same system, it will just take some getting used to and we will have some dodgy performances until we do unfortunately. What we will have consistency in the player selection though. Our CM's weren't good enough in the second half and I would imagine Smith or Langer will come in to offer more protection - potentially for Irving who has been brilliant but really struggled last week and may be protected. Better performances in the middle of the park will make our centre backs look better. Apart from that I reckon Meshino will be replaced by Avidjij. Same formation, two like-for-like changes. Don't think Stendel will tinker any more than that. No need to panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandjambo3 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Should we (Daniel ) have a plan B and change formation, tactics, swap people about etc at any point in the game? Im no football genius but, from the history of CL’s time in charge we pretty much laid our cards on the table and literally every team knew exactly how we were going to play and how we were going to change (if we ever did) during games, they were able to counter everything we did and more often than not beat us. Is Daniel showing his cards to early? In the second half of the farmers game I’m Not sure if we abandoned Daniels style of play or if the farmers kicked us out of it.......or both.

ramrod Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Think we will need to alternate Sibbiick and Langer maybe 60/30 mins each until they both get up to full speed. Once they're both firing there could be an argument for playing both of them away from home . We could slot Smith into right back and push Clare further forward that's another option to tighten things up at the back . A front four of Clare. Naisy Connor Boyce looks decent with Mishu, Donis ,Hendo and Uche as options . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I would put the young lad Stone in goals. Look at the options - Pereira doesn't save anything, palms the ball to forwards is basically a sweeper. Zlamal will make a mistake and cost at least goal, may save a shot or two however. Massive game for us but could be the making of the lad, Stone wouldn't be the first young keeper to be thrown in and handling the occasion.

tian447 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 We should just do the half time draw a bit early, and the winning ticket can go in goal. Better chance of keeping a clean sheet that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there are nuances to our style but our plan B at the moment is sorting out our defence when we don’t have the ball not having a different style of play it isn’t working That is Stendel’s whole modus operandi - our way is the right way and if we do it properly we will win. We change for no-one. This is hugely important otherwise the players won’t properly buy into Plan A which will be counter intuitive to them at times.

The players need to be committed to Plan A and that’s just it - if they aren’t we’d have lost against Rangers for example.

Absolutely, it’s risky and we will be caught out but the players must learn from their mistakes. I think most people are loving the new style and enjoying going to games again.

jambonian Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'd just like us to play players in their most natural positions. For me Clare is a back up right back if no-one else is available. I'd actually drop Pereira and bring Zlamal in. Hopefully Smith will be fit. Anyone know what's happening with Brandon?

Strap yourself in mate and don’t buy any planes, that’s all I’d say. Oh and we’ll always need some luck to beat Rangers or Celtic.

gnasher75 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 From the press conference it sounds like Smith and Hickey will both still be out for Killie and there's a chance of Smith being back for Falkirk. But Stendel doesn't give much away. No mention of Garuccio so it could be White again at LB. (Brian McLaughlin wasted time asking pointless questions asking about what might have happened in the transfer window re Thiam, Washington and Damour). When invited to wax lyrical about Clare, Stendel said it was a good goal but that he needed to defend better. Sounds like he has been giving them all a rollicking for the way the defended second half in Perth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
