LS180312 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Much much better tonight. Thought Kiltie was great in the no10 role. If we’re going to keep Kiltie behind the striker would like to see another winger in with pace and give us a different option which we’re lacking. McGowan with another good game, happy to see him getting a run in the team now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Great result tonight. If I'm being picky, I'd like to have seen us being more clinical in front of goal in the 2nd half and scoring another 2 or 3. With the benefit of hindsight, the first couple of pages in this thread make for entertaining reading ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like he was suggesting Mulumbu wasn't in because three games in a week wasn't there fitness wise yet, but that he'd be back in at the weekend... Mulumbu and Tsh? Hope not at the expense of losing Kiltie behind a striker. Finally playing Kiltie in his best position made a big difference so I’m sure he will start there again. what Kiltie and Whitehall gave us shows what we’ve been missing from Brophy and Kabamba for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJake Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I don't get why several posters on here feel the need to make derogatory comments about Nicke Kabamba. Ok he's been off form in recent games but he's also been MOTM a good few times earlier in the season. After tonight's game Danny Whitehall deserves to keep his place for Saturday. That said I'm sure Nicke will be back firing before long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudger Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 The Brophy love affair is equally as strange as the determination of some to constantly belittle kabamba. Not much between either of them from what I’ve seen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much between either of them from what I’ve seen. People love long range shots. It doesn’t seem to matter if they’re on target or even if they’re blocked straight away. It doesn’t even seem to matter that he scores less often than Kabamba, it’s the act of shooting from everywhere that elevates Brophy above his rival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncD Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Beat 10 men 2-0 and to some posters suddenly our players are excellent. Our squad is weak. Our manager is weak. We need to get rid of Dyer and bring in new faces to avoid a relegation dog fight. Edited December 31, 2020 by DuncD 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAG Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Whitehall must have by far the best goalscoring return per minute on the pitch of the attackers. He looked a bit off the pace initially, but grew into the game, not surprising on a first league start. We might not have as little goalscoring threat as we thought, having ruffled up the striking pecking order a bit. The Daily Records ‘Supercomputer’ has us in 6th place for the season on 47 points, which seems optimistic, but at least the rot has stopped and a win at the weekend isn’t out the question. 3/4 of the games in this season are 6 pointers, so couple of wins might make everyone feel a lot better and a bit less panicked! Team that panics most will get relegated this year. Cool heads and some more goals are required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCM Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I just can't see the love-in for any of the strikers at the moment. Brophy "the wolf" is hardly predatory, makes too many wrong decisions, when to shoot, when to pass, tries to hit the ball as hard as he can instead of picking his spot and steering ball in. Generally he is more direct and can argue you don't shoot you don't score. With so few games this season it is looking like he will be away first opportunity. Kabamba not a great header of a ball for a big guy no real physical presence, doesn't seem to have great upper body strength, seldom wins balls in air played up to him, not cute enough to get fouls off defender, gives away more fouls than he wins, can't seem to get ball out from under his feet, seldom shoots. Whitehall, had a reasonable game last night, no more, seems slow, his free kick and penalty were good. Looked jiggered after 60-70 mins, why can he not last 90 minutes after being in full training for six months. Strange giving him a start when deal is about to run out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Good result last night. The key now is building on the result and creating a run of form. 3 league games undefeated is the longest run under Dyer’s tenure. We have ended up with a winning team selection either by good judgement or luck but we also need to build on that with consistency of selection with changes only being made when there are injuries or suspensions or things aren’t working on the pitch. We need to start the game on Sat with the same 11 players that started against Motherwell injuries permitting. The result has bought Dyer some time but he and the players need to build on this or we’ll end up back in the position we were before the Well game.

Harrogate Peter Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 On reflection there were a lot of similarities to the game at Tannadice. Even uneventful start followed by a good ten minutes then home side on top from about 20th minute. The difference was Utd. then scored twice and we were clueless about how to come back. This time we kept them out our defence grew in confidence and then the excellent Kiltie scored. The penalty and sending off killed them and we should have had more. Both times the whole thing turned on a couple of events and the difference between success and failure isn't huge. If we can keep our heads and play constructively instead of long ball there are 7 other teams who are eminently beatable. A mid table season followed by the much needed clearout could and should await but we aren't there yet! Next two games are pivotal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also go with Mulumbu instead of Tish who needs a rest We need to try and find a settled starting lineup rather than constantly making changes. Most successful teams have consistency of selection. The players that won the game against Motherwell surely deserve the opportunity to start the next game. If it isn’t working against St Mirren or we need to counteract something they do tactically then we make changes. If the manager thinks there are fitness or fatigue issues with specific players that is the same as dealing with injuries but we need as much continuity as possible particularly when he have found a winning line up. This also creates competition for starting places. We have criticised the fact that too many players seem to start games regardless of how well they played in the previous game.
