Would be nice to get some form going, though, to just remove any doubt. Vital that we beat Dundee and Ayr the next couple of Saturday's. For this forums collective state of mind, if nothing else. Oxymoronic term! No "collective!" And as for mind, no amount of therapy can deal with brain farts! Quote

His ball into the box for Boyce's goal shows he's always thinking of attacking. It's not what the purists on here would probably call "good football" but he hit a poor free kick then instead of playing a safe back pass or trying to trap it and do too much pass to keep possession he lumped it into the box asap knowing that Halkett and Popescue would likely still be lurking there. Result: Halkett knock-down for a goal. Said before, I wish we would go more direct like that more often and look for knockdowns in this league. It's not the place for patient possession football IMO. Thought that myself when I saw it. It’s almost a naive way of playing - just get it in the mixer - but effective when the defence has to quickly reorganise itself after a set piece. Quote

Its because we are better, pretty simple to understand. we need to improve big time for the big league. Quote

No need to wait for a gap , the short pass or to get to the by-line every time Diagonals, second balls, get in in the box as often as possible and shoot when in range. Tbf We have been getting more balls in the box recently, shit finishing and a bit of bad luck maybe stopping us scoring a few more. Being a bit more patient might help in the top flight tho, for example v hibs and Celtic, the defenders and goalies are better and You don't want to give possession away to cheaply as then they can hurt you and won't give it back as quickly as teams in this division. In this league we win it back recycle it more often than not as our general possession shows along with efforts ( way wards) on goal. Get it in the box, win the second ball, get it back in. hit a shot now and then. Don't **** up at defending set pieces or give shitty headed back passes to gift goals - jobs a good un! Unless you have players who can unlock right defences with clever passes then patient build ups don’t really work. We don’t have such players (since Bruno?) I don’t think we should be sticking Popescu up front or anything but we do need to get the ball into the final third as quickly as possible. Constantly recycling the ball allows their defence to reorganise and that kills us, even at Championship level. Your last paragraph is the template for success in Scotland. Quote

martoon Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Hard game to call. Extra time seems likely, to me. Not at all fussed who wins but, if forced, I'd maybe just prefer St. Johnstone. If they weren't at Hampden today it would be Hibs. St. J after aet and penalties. Quote

Malinga the Swinga Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 With Charlie Adam testing positive for Covid on Friday, and presuming that keeps him out for next week, Dundee could be in danger of being dragged into relegation play off place.
