Another goal for Clare. Morale booster for the players. Got to look at the positives tonight lads 👍🏼 The BBC match report says "Naismith took a knock..." and was subbed. Always ominous when the words "knock" and "Naismith" appear in the same sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseyjambo Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Let’s be honest, this was already a potential banana skin before we were playing in a monsoon. Conditions were dreadful. Plastic pitch in those conditions is a lottery. Did we play well, in parts yes but we did also ride our luck especially the first chance that hit the post, but we took the sting out of tie by playing good possession football after that in those conditions. Job done. Wednesday is a free hit. Let’s get ourselves ready for the battle next Saturday and make sure we take the 3 points. Another plus is Midden will have a replay in the midweek before we play them on the Friday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that’s ok then because the 3 off the woodwork came in a 5 minute spell? It’s more of a spell than we had in the whole game. We didn’t trouble them at all until Henderson missed a sitter when they were pushing for an equaliser near the end. Let’s not butter that up, that was an abysmal performance and if we played like in the league every week we’re going down. Take the maroon tinted specs off, we were lucky as **** tonight!

FJT Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Smith and Clare were standouts. Thought Clare and Boyce got some hefty targeted treatment especially in the first half. impressed by Walker in the time he had - I have a feeling he’s going to be increasingly important for us again Garrucio, Dikamona, struggled. Goalie... still gives me the fear. Feel for the guy but he isn’t inspiring confidence Awful conditions. Tough opponents with no pressure on them. A good win. We’re through. Good to get a bit of luck at last too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 It was a cup tie and there was only one outcome that counted today, and that was being in the draw for the next round and we achieved that. We didn't play particularly well but I never thought the final outcome was going to be any different. Michael Smith made a big difference at the back for us and Walker again added something to us when he came on. The conditions meant it wasn't going to be a free flowing game and while it wasn't pretty at times it can be marked off as job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5jambo1 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Potential banana skin that we overcame. Most important thing was a morale boosting win to lift out confidence after the defeat mid week. Winning becomes a habit and it’s amazing what it does for your confidence and mentality. dont like three at the back and never have. We looked more comfortable playing a flat 4. We still look a bit shaky at the back, don’t think dikamona helped but we need to try and fix this and become harder to create chances against or we are going to keep giving away goals. I would play 4-2-3-1 and play smith and Sibbick/Irvine/langer in there with him and always makes sure at least one of them sit. Our full backs are always really high so in possession if they are pushed on then smith drops back to sit in front of the two centre halves and the other centre mid doesn’t venture too far forward. In this scenario we still have three at the back but we have all other players influencing the game up the park. You have your two full backs as wingers, your wide men can tuck in and play closer to Boyce and you still have your number ten and other centre mid in the middle of the park. In possession we have looked so much better in terms of keeping the ball and actually have numbers forward. The problems always seem to come when we give it away and are out numbered on the counter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
