DMAA 3,658 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Just now, Frankie said: Possibly. Kent and Ejaria are young guys but picked the wrong options too often. They have to work on their first touch and final ball. True about his decision making but I actually thought Ejaria was really impressive. Kent impressive in flashes but really frustrating. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,948 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Phe-e-e-ew. A more close run affair than it ought to have been, as we are not composed or clinical enough in front of goal. It was a good test, against a technically proficient side, individually and collectively; they can trap, pass, move, read the game, work hard, and are, partly as a result of those traits, well organised. In fact Easyjet are typical of any no, of "Continental" sides, whom we -and other Scottish sides- have struggled to contain over the years. McGregor has certainly returned with his "A" game intact, and may well have been MotM. We are making headway. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent impressive in flashes but really frustrating. Ejaria has lots of talent but there are flaws which I hope he works hard to eradicate. Like I said earlier, we have the quality so just need to apply the finishing touches. Hopefully that will come over time as we're not far off. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I said at half time that we were comfortable, and that continued throughout the game. In recent years, I'd have been watching that through gaps in my fingers but I just feel confident in the defence and midfield. Morelos looks dangerous again, although Ejaria and Kent should be feeding him better balls. Hopefully that will come. Katic and Goldson look solid again, and of course the goalie behind them must also give them confidence. But for me, Jack and Coulibaly just controlled that game. I really really hope we've got an option to buy Coulibaly because he is pure class. At times it seems like there's are three of him on the field. He seems to be everywhere. Jack was clear,y missed last season and he's going to be a big player for us this season. I bet we are all now looking forward to the game on Sunday. The pressure of extinguishing the past Europa league nightmares has lifted so I hope the team can press on from here. The future is bright ... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc 280 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 That was tighter than I would have wanted at the end but we are through and that's all that matters. Work in progress and we are lot further on than we were at the same stage last year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I totally disagree that this was a sweat party. We controlled the whole second half up until a lucky deflected goal from Bandheidyvic. Yes the last 4 minutes were a bit bum biting but we seen that out easily too. This was far easier than I expected. Roll on Sunday 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Gutting that it’s a clean sheet lost and goes down as a draw because it should have been 3-4 nil. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played ourselves nicely into trouble a few times Edited August 2, 2018 by colinstein 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
