Rousseau 10,039 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'd like to see us make the foul when they break. A couple of times we've had an opportunity to bring the guy down, but let him go. Not yellow worthy tackles, but a little nudge, or niggle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,254 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 This mob haven’t lost more than 2 goals in their last 15 European games , stuffy I think best describes them . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,613 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Cheats’ main tactic is to get one of our players sent off by the looks of it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Well that's 45 minutes of my life I wish I had spent doing something else. This is barely a training session for us. I know Progres are packing the midfield but we could play through them quicker. We started to do that in the last 10 minutes. Before that I felt we hadn't even got into second gear. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,369 Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Not overly impressed with us. We've been OK on the ball but we're far too fussy in attacking areas, taking too many touches and usually, the wrong option too. Arfield and Defoe haven't got into the game at all. Meanwhile we've again been slack a few times defensively and you could argue Progres look more dangerous due to us being left man for man too often. On the positive side, Aribo and Jack are again the best two players on the pitch and we just need more from others - especially Tav and Barisic to help stretch the game and create space. One goal is all we need to put this to bed! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
917 191 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Deja vu.. 0-0 at half time. Against anybody else I’d feel comfortable but.. we badly need to step up a gear. The pitch is terrible, but even worse is Stephen Craigan’s commentary! Giving us a full preview of who we’re playing next.. we’re not through yet, & a very very similar game to 2 years ago. Possibly not as many Gers fans this time though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,616 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'd take 0-0 and get out of there without any injuries. That place gives me the fear 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,994 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 It took until the 35th minute before we forced their keeper into a save. The only time we worked their keeper in the entire 45 minutes. We are not getting in behind Progres, we are playing in front of them. I suspect the surface is not the best; however, surely we can move the ball quicker, particularly when moving between their lines? Barisic has been cautioned, been involved in another couple of minor incidents since. Prudent management would suggest we substitute him before a situation is manufactured. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very unlucky to be booked and the same at the second foul he made but generally he's been woeful and caught out of position once too often for me as well. Would happily see Halliday for the second period. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
