deejtee Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The bar is so low for those defending Sibbick by mentioning Atkinson and Rowles. Rowles just about gets by with better players around him but Atkinson's lack of ability and Sibbick's lack of awareness and at times lack of aggression mean neither should ever be first picks and probably not even stop gap players if we need to keep the best of the rest tag and try to get closer to the old firm.

If Toby needs the keeper to tell him of the danger then this will be the highest level he’ll play at. He doesn’t close down Murray then ****s about trying to shepherd it out of play. Watch the highlights and you’ll see County have a chance before the goal that shows up his lack of awareness. He kept us in the game 🫣. Aye its his fault Dhanda had the freedom of Dingwall.

Bongo 1874 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Anyone blaming Toby for that goal is clueless,it's a straight forward shot that Gordon could of saved with his baws,and Zander palms it out. ****ing rubbish goalkeeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty basic to know that you don't mess around in possession in your own box. Just absolutely smash the ball out of play. No need to take a touch. I mean, has he not learned that from the derby. Clear your lines ffs What even when the managers instructions is to play out from the back,rather than hoofing it up the park. You can quite clearly see he was given no shout. Folk making it out like zander isn't at fault. What about this ? Does this look like a keeper that tells you man on or to clear it!!! That will be Tobys fault anaw. The straw some have for the likes of Zander and Lawrence is amazing. We owe it all to them. No we don't.

Rowles can be weak at times, but is improving, but he's excellent in the tackle and blocking, he also has decent pace. Kinglsey is similar, maybe better at carrying the ball. Kent has poor distribution, but is strong and a good defender. Halkett when fit is strong in the air and is a bit like Kent. Sibbick has good pace and technique, but is weak in the air, lacks awareness and concentration and makes costly mistakes far too often. Had that opinion for a season now. It's likley why Sibbick is only used when other players are injured. Sibbick needs games to improve more. He's excellent in the tackle and blocking, he also has more pace that any of our other defenders. He is good at carrying the ball, and has decent distribution. He often wins balls in the air. Many of his errors occur because of other players not being where they would be expected. His confidence will grow with support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played about 150 senior games and after 3 seasons with us and about 70 games he's getting worse. He needs to practice somewhere else , not I our first team. If he improves great but at he's 5th choice cb and 4th choice rb so he won't play much unless we have injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo19 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Don't want to turn this into a Clark vs Gordon thread but Clark doesn't command the area like CG. One that sticks out was the derby last year when we lost 1-0. Over hit cross that Clark doesn't come for but nobody shouts to Akka to let it run. Akka heads out for a corner to which they score from. Same at the weekend, should be a shout of man on or get rid. Did that not happen with Sibbick at Hampden vs Hibs too? 2 up through Simms and Kingsley then we let them back into it?

As for the wages of these top, top, players? This un's is a brammer:- https://www.facebook.com/share/v/CtVypc2o9SRQjgva/ Well, no takers? I still think that that ☝️ outdoes anything (well, almost anything) we've been 'guilty' of this season. One of a multitude of ghastly faux-pas by players so far out of our league. A 'Hearts-style' throw-in, a big defender getting out-muscled by a slip o' a lad, a 'keeper in no-man's land, and the pass-back to end all pass-backs. Don't forget the transfer fees & wages for these two ... 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 x 10³ See if that had been Sibbick / Rowles + Clark? 'Nuff said ...

That the keeper's fault here too? the guy has mistakes in him,that I don't dispute, to say he's a liability is wrong. The term has been branded that he needs babysitting. Do you know how many players I played with,that didn't have the confidence to make that first shout. And regularly needed kept on top on,because they either didn't have the confidence or a lapse of concentration,some really good players too. That's why you have leaders and captains. Shankland shouldn't be captain. He's not a leader in my opinion. And Zander is not our best goalkeeper, that's not being nasty it's fact. Toby doesn't play centre back if either Kent or Halkett is fit. To build a team you need knowledge,Toby has good running power,and good passing range. That why i say he's a sitting defensive midfielder,with two others just ahead of him. Ask the lad to break up play be solid, nothing more nothing less. Keep it simple.

Nookie Bear Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I think some people watch so much EPL/Champions league/La Lige etc etc and forget we are not playing the same game. Only the absolute elite can get through90 minutes without mistakes and even they mess up from time to time. You can't buy a steak from Lidl and expect it to be as nice as from a Michelin-starred restaurant. For the time being, it is what it is and we will make mistakes, be a bit slow in thinking and generally just a second slower than the very best.

Certainly no communication in that 2nd goal, the striker had time for a cuppa prior to his shot. 😧 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
