AlphonseCapone Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Cochrane. Moore. Sibbick. Boyce. GMS. Atkinson. Woodburn. Halliday. We've got a lot of players I don't think are good enough for where I'd like to see us aim for next season if I'm being brutally honest.

hearts00 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Very very poor. No matter how good we think we are, or how much progress we are making, it is really quite demoralising how much better they are than us. Nothing we don’t already know but still. Boyce needs to really get a grip quickly, his form is honking. His inability to keep possession hurt us today. And someone needs to sit Sibbick down and have a real word. This is not walking pace football, he does everything so slowly and without any conviction. Doing ma head in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 A game with nothing to play for, 3rd already secured and players cautious about a final coming up. That being said, if we don’t have defenders that can mark players and just allow the opposition to whatever the **** they like with the ball, we’re deserving a far bigger defeat than we just got. End of season meaningless game or not, that was outright unacceptable from players and coaches alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellczech Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 We have this ponderous core to the team right now Sibbick - Haring - Boyce. Haring I can excuse as he seldom loses possession and costs us but the other 2 weaken us at the back and cause us to be wasteful up front. Sibbick should've been given a foul for their first, but having not got it we were horribly exposed by him going down where he did. Boyce cost us the third, and I just cannot stand watching him, it's like watching football in slow motion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Disappointing. Thought we plugged away but the gulf in class is huge, especially when we are missing a few players. Haring was our best outfield player again. Get him signed up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snedescu Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Today made Robbie’s decision for his team for the cup final a bit easier. I can’t make my mind up whether Ginnelly or GMS are the most frustrating player we have at the moment. They both have the ability but their decision making is so poor.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Well, shows what I know. I really thought they would’ve taken their eyes off of it today, but fair play they were right up for it. Particularly in the second half they swarmed the ball in their half and we couldn’t build much except for that one 10 minute period before the third goal. They also managed to not do their 60 minute naptime which we’ve seen them do before. Amazing to have Kingsley back of course but an old firm game where we are depending on Taylor Moore and Toby civic to play major roles in defense is always going to be a roller coaster. Aside from Kingsley, Haring had a tremendous game. He frustrated me earlier this season but he did everything he could today. Frustrating that we still can’t take it to them in Glasgow, but at least this was a meaningless game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

132goals1958 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 A bit of perspective from my point of view. Celtic were on full throttle today as it was basically a championship day for them. Subconsciously we are gearing up for a game of the season and irrespective of what Robbie might say that game is predominant and I cant believe with nothing to play for today it must affect the performance. It was more or less the outcome I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
