Popular Post MarkyMark Posted August 23, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) A lot of posters criticise our goalkeepers this season and last for our lack of clean sheets. However, when you look at the teamsheets we gained a lot of our clean sheets after Broadfoot departed and he only played 36 minutes against Aberdeen where we got a clean sheet and was replaced by Alex Bruce. After Broadfoot returned we started conceding goals again. Coincidence or is Broadfoot’s presence in the team an issue? I like his commitment but he makes mistakes, lacks pace, gets caught out of position and gives fouls away. He played a big part in losing the first goal yesterday as he jumped out to close Kent down with Alan Power. The ball went out wide and Roofe was unmarked to score. There was no need for him to jump out. He should have left Power to close Kent down. He should have stayed in position and when the ball came in he’d have been there to clear or challenge Roofe.

Mrangel08 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 At a more basic level the defence seems less organised or as cohesive as previously. Del Fab and Findlay seemed to have a much tighter relationship and the back four worked more as a unit and covered for each other when things went wrong. Findlay and Broadfoat don't appear to have the same quality of relationship and no one seems to be organising the line. Add in lack of pace, 2-4 new full backs, a new keeper and the impact of some appalling mistake - its hardly surprising that RFC waltzed into our box at will yesterday. This has to be sorted out in training and if it can't then there are others in the wings who should start. Finally I'm not a fan of Broadfoot in any case and felt that the treatment of DF when KB returned was poor. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino13 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 As long as we continue to have broadfoot in defence there will be no clean sheets. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why Dyer brought him back? If it was to organise the defence it isn’t working. All that seems to happen is he points at others or thumps the ground when we lose goals. If Dikamona can’t get a start in a team that can’t keep clean sheets then he shouldn’t be here.

Bigdaw Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 My issue with Broadfoot is he keeps missing tackles. He will step in or lunge with his foot and he misses the ball . Then he chases like a maddie to try and catch the guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyer brought Broadfoot back as he is good about the dressing room and takes charge of the dressing room stereo. Never mind clean sheets but big Kirk can pick out a decent tune. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmonty3 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Kirk did really well in his first spell with us. He was brilliant. It was not the right decision to bring him back. Looks a yard slower. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhamkillieken Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 we have a new keeper and two new full backs coming in to the back 4 (you could argue its 2 keepers and 4 full backs), back 4`s take time to settle in. I don't know anything about the back up CB`s so cant comment on them. however, we bring teams on to us as we have no out ball other than the lump up the park (which is too easily dealt with). previously we had JJ to take us up the park, and then stewart. these two helped us move forward and gave the back 4 someone to pick out. a simple pass to dicker is just going to put you under pressure two seconds later (similar with power). Burke is good, but not the ideal person for an out ball. if we can start to get something moving going forward we will take the pressure of the back 4. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Fabro and Findlay looked good together. Retrogressive move in so many respects to get KB back in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a new backline last season, only Findlay and SOD survived. We were defo harder to score against then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Bringing Broadftoot back after the way he left, and the fact he wasn't playing for St Mirren, didn't go far in convincing me that certain players were calling the shots. Lots of running though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Squirrelhumper Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 He should have never been allowed back to RP after his s**te last summer, never mind allowed to wear the captains armband. Was decent under Clarke (even then he was showing signs he was done) but he's completely done now. Liability and no surprise we haven't kept a clean sheet in the league under Dyer. with him in the heart of defence. Findlay has also regressed with him beside him. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 People say there is no loyalty in football but it could be our downfall this season. The club have been loyal to Dyer even though there are major questions over his ability to do the job. Dyer in turn has been loyal to certain players who haven’t paid that back 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 We seem to be caught Now with an ageing pool of players compared to rivals. I can’t see our current set up lasting the season without a freshen up of first choice players- the sooner the better. KB has reached the end of the road in Premier league terms and we desperately need him and the keeper (I’ll say again) replaced/upgraded to begin that process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
