Narrow escape.

 

 

Need to do much better when we are in control.

[johnnyk 158]

great win, poor game, seen these performances all to often last season we need to be much better than this…….

[Gribz 919]

Bosch a Ruud Guilltt Esk header by Goldson to save the day.

 

3 pts but its on a dodgy pitch and we dont know our best team. Need to get better though.

Thought you were expecting a comfortable 3-0 win ??

 

Over confidence is just as bad amongst the support as it seems to be amongst the playing squad.

I was expecting a 3-0 win but I’m more intent on 3 points. And I’m still confident they will get better. What we just witnessed was no different from the multiple times the yahoos dug out a late winner last season.

We have played our get out of free jail card.

 

The entire second half, we trundled the ball from side to side

[Frankie 8,663]

That was incredibly poor today and the manager has to address the lack of urgency in the last two games.

 

Once or twice we were playing the ball in wee circles at walking pace, when we should have been countering quickly.  Completely unacceptable lack of responsibility from key players as well.

 

Didn't help that Tav, Davis and Arfield were so poor but surely other players can step up but, no we played the ball backwards to Goldson far, far too often which then resulted in a punt for us to lose the ball anyway.  Awful.

 

Fortunately, we did show good character in the last five mins but that's a tiny positive from a performance that should see Gerrard call it for what it was.

[Gribz 919]

Aribo started too deep for me. Its obvious he has a license to go forward but I think he should start further forward and know he has to go back when needed. 

 

Arfield in that role - not sure yet albeit the goal.

A lot of room for improvement.  I'm very relieved we got 3 points. 

[der Berliner 3,808]

... that said, Frankie, Jones and Stewart should have come around the 60 min mark, as we were losing any grip on the game rapidly. Aribo and Ojo were largely empty jerseys in the 2nd half (and probably have to adapt to Scottish football), but the passing from Tav and Co. was also becoming ever more erratic, as was decision-making. 

 

Was thinking we opened up a little after HT to let them come at us and thus have more space, but we never got back into it. Here is where the manager needs to act and he let it run far too long, IMHO.

 

Lucky three points and soon to be forgotten.
