I thought he worked hard and he won a lot, particularly second half til he went off. Waters has been surprisingly good. Haunstrup in front of Waters has to be the way to go. We came alive down that side when they were on together. Agree that Haunstrup has combined well with Waters in both games. Unlucky not to hold out but a draw probably a fair result given they hit the post late on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride_of_ayrshire Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Brophy was a miss. Certainly couldve done. With his striker instinct. Kabamba needed support. And we needed someone to pull the trigger when needed. On the other hand. Burke am speechless that man is an absolute machine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grambo Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) I think we are in with a shout, a win in the next game would go a long way. Edited August 12, 2020 by Grambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather see Kiltie on in that position, or just anyone who might look half creative... We're sorely missing creativity. Apart from the two goals that were created? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to turn defeats into draws and draws into wins. Saturday is important. Good performance and a win would underline the positives and give us a good platform. First home game with a near fully fit squad and with the new players having bedded in a bit. And hopefully not a keeper chucking one in... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heynow2005 Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Thought we played well over the piece. Not sure Dicker should be a regular starter anymore and would like to see Haunstrup play from the start looks good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki11ie Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 We will be absolutely fine this season. 3 games 3 good performances. Unlucky not to win tonight so poor refereeing maybe to blames. Haunstrup looks a player. First half kabamba far to isolated Pinnock got closer to him 2nd half and midfield played 10yards further up the pitch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Power and Burke we’re phenomenal tonight. Power was the real driving force from midfield and anything creative was always gonna be Burke’s doing. Haunstrup looked good again. Waters too. Pinnock looks like Invisible DT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look which you clearly have, I've commented further down saying I used a bad choice of words, but he showed his inexperience. I felt we had quality on that bench that would have been better options than some on the pitch later in the game. FWIW I thought his starting 11 was spot on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Not sure we can criticise Pinnock when he barely got a touch first half. He was a bit more involved 2nd half and seemed to be told to get closer to Kabamba. Early days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe bit early to judge pinnock as he was carrying injury and just getting into the system. Looks technically sound but certainly not quick. Lack of pace in the mid to front remains a bit if a worry. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Funny how after Sunday’s game Gary Dicker is immense and invaluable yet tonight some think he needs binned as past his best and other options are better? Fickle as f**k!! What isn’t in question is individual BIG errors are costing us points in every fixture so far and that needs to be cut out or we’re going to be the hard luck story that costs AD his job. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxyboy Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I think the fact the same players came out and had a completely different attitude speaks more to what AD has management skill wise, it’s easy to sit and criticise no making subs ( I do think we need to get better at it) but a lot of folk on here not appreciating that most of the time I takes a player 5-10 mins to get up to speed in a game that can cost you just as much as not making a sub. More so what’s cost us tonight is a few refereeing decisions - we should’ve had a pen & theirs looked a bit soft and an defensive lapse at a set piece. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigYin Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 It’s only 2 points from 9 but I think it’s not a bad return from a difficult run of games. We really need a win Saturday though to give us a good base to build on. Burke was phenomenal again & I worry about our reliance on him for creativity. Power was excellent as well. Really impressed with Millen again. Haunstrup impressed when on the ball and looks like he has a hell of a cross on him. I wonder if LM could be his position in a 442 if Waters keeps playing well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Is Brophy away? He’s been on bench and no featuring much. Dropped totally tonight ..? If so we seriously need two strikers. Burke and Power grabbed the game with scruff of neck and dragged us ahead. Power plays Dicker or Tish arguably Tish atm. Haunstrup looked really good again. Number 10 a Greg Stewart type would be a game changer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustration tonight is that we did something we seemingly couldn't under Dyer last season, changed the game and got back in front, only for an unfortunate pen to get in the way. Between that and the keeper error in the Hibs game it's so difficult to tell if things are any different this time around. Lineup on Saturday will be really interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casual observer Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 It’s all very well sticking another attack minded player in there, but we’ve conceded 5 goals in 3 games so far with players there protecting the back 4. Are we confident enough in them and the keeper’s ability to cope with less protection in front of them? I’m not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree looked slightly better 2nd half , do feel the players brought in from down south will take a few games to get match fit and adjust to the Scottish game ....just recall how it took Alan Power a number of games to show his best 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
