TheOak88 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Combination of Halkett and Zlamal, but mainly Halketts fault. We have signed players who are simply just not good enough for this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLTFTh Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Halketts fault all day, should have cleared the ball and not play schoolboy football. Bobby may have continued to come out but retreated correctly, (imo) this closed the angle but the guy finished well. Bobby would have a "get him dropped post" if he had progressed out past the D and got rounded easily. Imho he chose correctly to retreat. The guy cannot win...

BigAlim Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Halkett had a torrid time dealing with the pace and work rate of Long, particularly in the first half, I do worry about him dealing with any striker of that ilk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Halkett for taking to long to pass. Bobby for coming and stopping.

1874robbo Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Bobbys starting position is too deep!! he needs to be out near the edge of his box especially if we are going to play a high line. he needs to act like a sweeper at times!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Certainly as a defender you can be judged by your mistakes. The shame about Halkett is, he can actually be good but you can’t keep slipping up like he does. It shows you the fine line that exists at the top level. The likes of Webster, Pressley etc... just never made these errors. If they did, it was very rare and you probably couldn’t remember them.

Without a doubt the starting point was Halkett taking too long to just play the ball forward but I do think there was an opportunity for Zlamal to get to the ball before the goal was scored.

Cruyff Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Halkett's cost us more than a few goals this season, 4 times v Motherwell alone this year. He was decent 2nd half but again at corners he was nowhere near. Will need better Centerhalfs next season, far too many mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeskaboyuk Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 my opinion was that Motherwell got the lucky break. The ball somehow seemed to drop almost exactly between goal keeper and striker and as expected the ball favoured the striker who got there first to finish. We are pish and unfortunately these are the sort of bad luck breaks we are goings to get until end of the season . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jardine, Levein, McPherson, MacLaren, Weir, even a young Paul Ritchie, Webster, Pressley and Berra pre injury. They probably never had as many **** ups in their career compared to what Halkett has had so far in his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo_No5 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Halkett made the initial mistake then Bobby should have came out and dealt with it. Instead (not for the first time) he comes halfway and gets scared and ends up in no mans land. Just come out and take everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Every cloud and all that...Halkett clipped Long’s heel (possibly unintentionally) and it was the only time in the game that streak of piss stayed on his feet. I’ve no doubt if Bobby had came out and looked like he was beating Long to the ball then Long would have thrown himself to the ground. Halkett off, probably a loss and down to one fit CH and Michael Smith for Paisley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyrood_Hearts Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Haven’t seen it back yet but if Bobby wasn’t going to make it he was right to go back to his box. We couldn’t risk him potentially getting sent off, losing yday & having to play Pereira against St Mirren and losing that as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a11ank Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Halket screwed up. No argument there. Bobby let us down badly though. It looked like he was easily going to get there and changed his mind. He is the last line of defence and yesterday didn't do his job. Before anyone starts having a go at me, please tell me the last time you saw a goalie head the ball out of his own box! Unfortunately he is still the best goalie we have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had gusty wind(not me personally) out there yesterday funneling thru at that location from the southwest corner. That might have been a factor in the way the ball held up...It happened second half,at one point the ball looked like it was suspended in the air.
