mitch41 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Watching Arbroath at Alloa was better entertainment than watching Hearts. We’re playing in the Championship and we are playing crap. Ryan Stevenson told the BBC gadgy that Hearts were a shambles and he was spot on. Neilson is one lucky guy that the fans are not at the games because they’d be calling for his blood. There must be a manager out there that can get our team playing decent football no matter what league we’re in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jury is still out on a few of the newer guys, but in my opinion the only ‘honest’ players we have are Gordon, Smith, Kingsley and at times Boyce, although he’s never the striker some think he is. The rest think they are tickets and need a slap. Sick of seeing moaning greeting faces when they are just playing shite. Edinson Cavani... on paper some would say he’s past it. Guy doesn’t need the dosh. He certainly has nothing to prove to anyone. But at 33 he goes out and plays every game like it’s his last. Compare that attitude to our lot - night and day.

Said exactly the same when Cavani came on as a sub last week , they just don’t seem to appreciate the privileged position they are in , frustration is heightened when you see guys binned as not the right quality succeeding elsewhere workers Callachan and Edwards not the most gifted but exactly what we needed last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch Wighton next...and if Boyce leaves watch him. Something has been rotten about our build up in the final third for so long. There is no creativity from the middle, no runners to receive the ball and too many whimps that are easily moved off the ball. Crap pitches and dodgy refs don't help but we are our own worst enemy. We bring in players that have skills in specific areas and we don't play to them. We have done this for years. IF you have a penalty box striker why is he dropping deep all the time? Because he is not getting the service. If you have a winger who likes the ball in front off him why play it behind him? This is the sort of thing we do all the time and have done for years. It doesn't seem to matter who we bring in the style of play is still the same. We need two maybe three dynamic creative central midfielders who can set the tempo to bring our striking players into the game in the way that suits team to get the best from them. Clogging about passing the ball sideways and backwards just plays into the hands of the teams we have faltered to particularly away from home. Halliday, Irving and Haring have all shown that they are all far too slow to do this so I know a lot of people willl disagree but we need to replace most of these players. We can afford to have one of those types in the middle but not two or three. Judging by the fact that Robbie has hooked Irving in the last couple of games suggests to me that he is on his way out whether by his own personal choice or Robbie is maybe giving him a helping hand. We still need to strengthen big time in the middle of the park otherwise if we are promoted we will be straight back down again with this team.

Our strikers are suffering from lack of service and being criticised unfairly. We could have three up and they would still be ineffective. We have no engine room.

My lad suffers from poor circulation and has problems in winter conditions. One of the reasons he moved to Arkansas to play with the Little Rock Rangers was that soccer is a summer game in US. In Scotland his hands would turn white/blue in cold weather. He would not have coped with the weather at Ayr and Dumfries. I remember him playing for Academy against Rangers at Milngavie. The coach sent him to the changing rooms before KO as he was shivering violently. I suspect there must be other fair weather players out there.

JALBO Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Digging up an old thread, but interesting to see a penalty claim in the Leeds v Southampton game tonight that was similar in some respects to the penalty that QofS earned against us. The Southampton attacker stuck his leg out to make contact with the Leeds defender to try and earn the spot kick. No pen given, and Souness afterwards said it was absolutely the right decision and the boy who tried to buy the penalty should have been booked. A different game.

All and sundry on that bbc broadcast said it was a penalty, if I remember rightly. Can’t remember any mention of the causing contact by sticking his leg sideways, although I could be wrong. To be fair the the referee, he’d be struggling to see what the player did without a replay to watch. I blame Jamie Vardy for this kind of thing.
