sjh1874 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Months of good work doesn’t become undone after one defeat. Don’t let it Fester. Allow it to motivate and build another good run of results. Crap start yesterday then we start to get some traction then Rowles has a brain fart and the rest is history. We have given ourselves a fantastic platform and must now dust ourselves down, lick the wounds and get back on the winning trail. Nowt better than a derby to get back in the game. I’m sure training will be feisty and lots of hurt egos looking to right a few wrongs. Oh and Naisy rightly or not you now have the opportunity to drop the goalkeeper, not really looking to point at Zander too much but any keeper shipping five would feel the heat. Make that change now.

Tough call to make for SN, Clark didn’t have a nightmare yesterday although I thought he could have saved at least two of them but he did make some good saves as well. If he brings Gordon back in for such a big game and it goes tits up, he will get pelters on here for bringing him back too soon no doubt. He won’t know whether to stick or twist on this one.

To be safe throw in Harry Stone then if we concede ZC & CG are blameless 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamb04life Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Spot on; I didn’t expect to get a result anyway but the manner of the defeat left a lot to be desired. Massive opportunity for players to redeem themselves on Wednesday (those who keep their place anyway..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ1977 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I’d put Gordon back in but I could see naisy waiting until 3rd is sown up before giving him a run off games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post mate. Hibs is the perfect fixture for us to have next. Nobody needs motivating for that match and the fans will be up for it. A win on Wednesday and yesterday will be forgotten about. We've been on a great run and got done by an in form Rangers team. There's no point in navel gazing too much and allowing one awful result to bleed into three or four bad results. We just have to move on and get back to doing what we've been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more surprised than anyone with yesterday's result especially the way we performed the last time we visited Ibrox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Agree with the OP, if we let defeats from the OF derail our season... Important the players shrug it off and go out on Wednesday with a point to prove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't rely on the same funding sources as either of the bigots which we all know. In my opinion despite yesterday we are in good hands and we move forward. Incremental steps.

Pasquale for King Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 As long as we learn the lessons as we go, freshening up the team will help too, starting with Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you gather 28 points in 30, it's easy to see that over confidence could become an issue. The management will keep the players feet on the ground, granted, but players can start to believe their own hype very quickly .... And look, to a degree, you can't blame them. But, your lessons learned point, which is spot on, is probably already happening. Maybe a little shock to the system is what's required here so we don't have any expectations from incoming games and we learn that we have to fight tooth and nail, every single week to get the right result. The actual thing that we were doing which put us on the great run of form in the first place, and which you could maybe argue was missing the other day.

Benny Klack Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Superb OP. The only thing I’d add is that (rightly or wrongly) Clark isn’t getting dropped off the back of that. Clark will remain as 1st choice keeper for league games and Gordon in the cup. This will be the case until after 3rd is seen up mathematically and it’s well after the split - Gordon may get some game time then but that also depends on how far we progress with the cup run.

Berrassobad Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Fortunately (as I see the knives are out on the versus h1b5 thread) NaIsy doesnt pick his team or drop people based on one bad performance (specifically Rowles) 1-0 or 7-0 we got fek all - fact is were on one of the best runs ever - and what a fantastic time to get back on the train at Tynie. COME ON !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillidigits Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 As 5 - 0 defeats go this one is timed perfectly. Why ? Because it's the best early reminder about what happened last season. This early wake up call means we double down from here on in starting Wednesday. The gap we have from those below us must be maintained but we have to play as if there's no gap there at all. To treat every game like a cup final and show the composure expected from the third best team in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the collapse at Ibrox shouldn’t be unceremoniously swept under the carpet. I’ve still to see an explanation as to why “months of good work” didn’t continue at Ibrox last Saturday.
