Frankie 8,562 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 After an OK first 15mins, we've not offered anywhere near enough since. Our incredibly slow interplay between our defensive players is turgid to watch. Yes, not every pass can be an incisive one but at least move the ball quickly and with purpose. In a general sense, we struggle because we're far too predictable. We don't play with tempo so teams can sit deep and nullify our creative players fairly easily. Worse, when we do get space, our quality on the ball just isn't good enough. We simply have to offer a lot, lot more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,089 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Bucking the trend, but that was OK first half. Great goal (well worked and brilliant / brave header) but come at a cost. St Johnstone offering nothing thus far and happy to brake game up and make it scrappy. Hopefully get a 2nd and finish game off today was always more about result than performance IMO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,293 Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 Can someone tell Lundstram and Raskin that you win the ball with your legs/feet, not your arms. I'm a bit disappointed in Raskin - hasn't really improved since he's been here. I was hoping he'd be the type of midfielder to take the game by the scruff of the neck but he rarely does. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,744 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) We are god-kings of passes between defence and defensive midfield. The time it takes to get the ball into the final third is horrendous, as are most "short" passes into midfield to players covered. At some stage you wonder why the ball isn't played long, to put Saints defenders under pressure. Our front three hardly get anything to work with, the half has virtually bypassed Ridvan and especially Lawrence, as nigh all is done through Tavernier and Raskin on the right. Lammers the one creative spark so far. You hope that we snatch a quick second and go on from there. You see why the Scum couldn't beat that lot at home, but likewise, we should not lower ourselves to their* level. *That includes both them and Saints.

Bill 13,717 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I thought the first 15 minutes or so showed promise but then it was the same slow, miserable square passing. Disappointingly, there’s nothing new here. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
