Bazzas right boot Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) I don't know,but football isn't played on a spreadsheet or played by the crowds. Apart from the Glasgow visits and the 3-0 v Killie every game has been in the balance. We aren't scoring first enough, I can't recall when we last done this in the league. It's huge in Scottish football, really shapes the game as most games are very close with little in the actual play between the sides. We have done this far too little, below the law of averages. We need to sort that, it's still an issue. Hopefully with a fit Naismith, Walker and Boyce joining that changes soon. Teams also score very easily v us, the gk is a massive problem right now. Inspires no confidence, saves little. Celtic game changes nothing, but v Hamilton and St mirren we must improve. The 2-3 Killie summed up our season, played well at the start, never scored then found ourselves 3-0 down with them not breaking a sweat. Surreal.

The honeymoon is over for Herr Stendel. Doubts are creeping in about his ability to turn this round. His insistence on playing Pereira coupled with his insistence on zonal marking at corners cost us three goals last night. Hiring a manager with no knowledge of Scottish football was always going to be problematic in a relegation battle with no room for experimentation. A couple of victories against Hamilton St Mirren will do our confidence the world of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no evidence to back up this claim and the fact Hearts were keen to bring in Gordon suggests its nonsense. Is it a fact that Hearts we’re keen to bring in Gordon, another myth really. When asked Stendel dismissed it by saying GK was not a priority position. His biggest mistake so far I would say. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51309296 https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/1-2-3-4-we-will-see-hearts-boss-daniel-stendel-hints-more-signings-and-speaks-craig-gordon-1380536 Edited February 13, 2020 by Pasquale for King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettigrewsstylist Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The winter break was about refreshing the squad with some quality. We did, but nowhere near enough in my book, and using winter break to assess squad and figure out strategy for top flight survival. Think we are gettjng it wrong currently. We wil never score enough to survive at the rate we are conceding. Celtic, Falkirk, Killie, St Johnstone could all have scored far more than they did if luck had deserted us.

The new manager keeps playing Pereira, who everyone can see has lost all confidence and shouldn't be in the team, so Why is he playing. There is considerably less pressure and expectation on both the managers and players at clubs like Motherwell, Killie, St Johnstone etc comparative to say Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. Also, despite the fact we have a greater budget to spend on players each year, we are searching the same market for new additions however we ultimately pay that little bit more to acquire them (they demand a higher wage from us). Aberdeen went through a torrid time in the 00's despite spending 250k on the likes of Steve Lovell and Barry Nicholson and recently spent 400k on Stevie May who turned out to be useless. Hibs spent a fair amount on "Ginger Pele" Doyle and he also turned out to be a flop. Football is very much a game of psychology and some players don't have the right mentality to handle the pressure of playing for a bigger club where you are expected to win most weeks. Might be a load of nonsense but its just my opinion. Edited February 13, 2020 by HardcoreJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
