Pasquale for King Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 10 minutes ago, colinmaroon said: It was an inference for a wide player to allow Vargas a free role and that for most of the game Forrest was missing-in-inaction.

Totally agree +. showed for the ball constantly and made good runs inside the full backs numerous times, and not once did anybody attempt to find him. Faded a bit in the second half when the game stretched , but I really like what he brings to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 In the end, an uninspiring performance after a reasonable first half. Again, I feel many of our players toil in-game to respond or realise when the opposition have upped the ante. The midfield fell out of it. A combination of work rate dropping in possession and movement off the ball being a large contributing factor. We suddenly became static at throw ins with options and movement at a premium. Pretty disappointing we didn’t capitalise on a dominate start and lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibbick was a player we could of done with just infront of back four. Take off Grant for Sibbick,take of Shankland for Oda and go 433 instead of 4231. As kilmarnock were coming onto us. Unfortunately Sibbick wasn't even on bench. And it appears Shankland can't be subbed. Pace upfront kills that game today. Get Gordon back in goal ffs.

I thought he had a good game with only a couple of errors. I noticed this, which I think is significant; at least half a dozen times he picked up or won loose balls in midfield, passed it to a teammate, and immediately ran into an attacking position to take a quick return pass into feet. Very frustratingly, he wasn't given the ball which usually went backward or sideways. I think that as well as his skill he's got a brain that might be a bit too quick for some of his teammates.

I thought he gave the ball away a bit more than he should have, tbh, I counted four occasions, one of which ultimately led to Frankie picking up a yellow, IIRC, but he's definitely not short of confidence to try things.

Nelly Terraces Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 We are 5 first team picks short of a decent team, that's clear as day. The manager is also not the finished article by a long way, McInnes stuck an extra body in his midfield 35 minutes into the game & Kilmarnock controlled the game from that point onwards.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 6 hours ago, Maple Leaf said: The only positive about today's game was that Killie needed to narrow the gap and they failed. Our second half was very poor. Every cross into our box is an adventure and I wonder why our defenders are so poor at jumping. And we give the ball away far too easily. Kingsley as a CH in a back 4 doesn’t work for me. He’s very good in a back 3 and he’s very good in the air but he’s not that tall and having only Kent as a box guardian makes it easy to avoid him.

Hearts1975 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Tbh take Matty Kennedy and Danny Armstrong out that side, they are nothing but a well drilled machine. Those 2 players add a bit of flair. A draw was probably a fair result. Bit disappointing as we took the lead but they did have a right go at us, so can't really begrudge them a point. They really needed the points more than us, and we didn't lose the game, so no real damage done, in the end.

gregzy2k7 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Just watched the game back, I thought we were decent first half and deserved our lead and we could have really turned the screw and went further in front, but we just didn't have that final ball or composure that resulted in a second goal, Killie definitely came into it more in the 2nd half and I would say they matched, if not bettered our play in the 2nd half whilst scoring a wonder goal and we're unlucky with a couple of other chances in the match, It was one of those games where it could have went either way and a draw was clearly the right result, Positives for me were Frankie Kent being back in who made a huge difference to our defence and also Vargas just looks like he is getting better and better.

Normally he can still do something with that but he lost out a lot yesterday. I agree if we had an alternative we might have taken him off but none of our forward players contributed very much. Forrest , Vargas, hardly anything. Oda and McKay nothing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
