It’s very satisfying seeing pant wetters like yourself lose the rag at a team selection. Bit of advice for next time, just relax If you think merely saying it was an uninspiring team line up is "pant-wetting' then perhaps it's you that needs to relax.

TexasAndy Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Good win against a team who came to sit in and hope to hit us on break. First half we played in to their hands by turning back too often when attacking. The early goal second half was perfect for us. They came out a bit more and left gaps at back that we maybe should have exploited before we did get the second. Overall a comfortable night.

Its the same as the fact that a headline, rarely tells you the full story of a football match. But the headline stats are the actual contributions to the ball going in the net. It has become a way to recognise the importance of an unselfish player where previously, only the goal scorer got a headline mention. It annoys me when folk say it’s pointless. The point of it is, it’s a headline stat reflecting a direct contribution to the scoreline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This creates space for other players who can then get more space and time. It's a team game and although GMS isn't great and may be replaced in the summer or next, he adds to us and has scored goals and won penalties for us at key times.

grumpyespana Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 My thoughts on the game last night were great result with other teams below us dropping points but we badly need a main striker but Gino did well with his two goals but he is not a central striker, as for Souttar he played okay but it would be better for all if he moved in this window. What can you say about wee Barrie get him on a longer contract he was outstanding last night overall we seemed a bit flat at times maybe because of distractions or been off for about three weeks but hey ho roll on Saturday.
