ranger_syntax 4,893 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 1 hour ago, Rousseau said: I feel we lack runners off the ball. Our front line is far too static, so even if we do get Hagi, Aribo and/or Kent in good positions, in between the lines, there's no one to pass to, there's no movement. We need runners in the channel, overlapping full-backs, our Defensive-midfielders (and Centre-backs, to be fair) breaking the lines by carrying the ball past a player etc. The fundamental problem is the number of touches players take before moving it on. Nobody will move if nobody will pass. Aribo never controlled Hagi's pass last night because he never imagined he would receive one so soon. Need to hope that the teams gets on Hagi's wavelength rather than the other way around. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hope is that the games prior to that game seem somewhat kinder to us (on paper). Hopefully Aberdeen or Livi can do us a favour and even come up with a draw? Draws are as good as defeats in tight race I'm clutching tbh... Neither will happen. Either would bring us back in to it though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply trying to look ahead and try to see a positive. Last night was utterly depressing as I genuinely thought we'd put ourselves in the box seat after the OF game. Oh well, it must true what they say...it's the hope that kills you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Greg Stewart’s done ok with the limited time he’s had but the likes of Barker& Ojo have failed miserably 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 We have dropped 2 points with barasic and tav playing and 14 or so with one or other missing. We need better back up at full back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need better back up at full back. We need better players. Some of our players can play very well at times but the mark of a very good player is consistency and we don't have enough of them. Good players cost money and we don't appear to be generating much of that at the moment or producing players through our youth system. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
