Charlies PaPa Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Over the last few home games I paid close attention to the "shoot in part of the warm up" Frankly the percentage number of shots on target was woeful, (including Brophy) The only consistent player was Sow. Is this down to technique or temperament. In Boyd we had one of the most successful strikers in SPFL history. Surely it would by worthwhile to get him back 1 or 2 days a week to work with our forward players on technique and movement in the box. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't read much into that, watching us all the way back to the mid 90s and I always thought we didn't score a lot in those kind of training drills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee_Eck1979 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Exactly, it's the back up keeper. Don't want to knock the gks confidence by letting in goals before the match, but going by our shooting it wouldn't make any difference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD'sGingerLorry Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Gary Lineker once said that he was so superstitious that he wouldnt try and hit the target in the warm up in case he used up all the goals he was going to score in the game before it even started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies PaPa Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 WE need goals from other players as well. Midfield in particular are more likely to hit any birds in the end stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H75 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Our midfield is severely lacking in goals and more concerning is we don't really take any shots either but what do you expect when we play defensive midfielders constantly. Even when chasing the game, we seem to always substitute El Makrini who looks the only one prepared to take the ball forward. Plenty of games this season he's been the player subbed when others around were struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My priority would be a midfield player with a degree of creativity, which would also provide chances for the guys struggling up front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Getting Boyd to work on finishing isn’t the worst idea. Can he teach that natural killer instinct though. The other thing is confidence. Boyd didn’t seem to care if he missed. He’d get back in position for the next one and try to do better. At times you can see our forward players confidence take a hit when they miss chances and sadly with the way we were playing they didn’t know when the next chance would come. I agree with above we lack goals from all over the park. Looking at other teams who have a CM who will contribute 5-10goals a season. We are lucky to get that between four or five players. Very few seem to be willing to take the shot on despite evidence in the past that we get joy. Thomas, SOD, Burke, Power, El Makrini, Rory a**** others have goals in the last couple of seasons from taking a dig but look less and less likely to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken T Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Nisbet certainly knows where the back of the net is but I'm told his movement makes Boyd look like Mo Farah, would need to change his attitude big style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCM Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Nisbet's goals on Youtube look alright, certainly knows how to score, his confidence should be high at the moment, unfortunately so will the price tag for Killie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve missed the boat he’s on contract till 2021 and would cost £200k plus. Couldn’t afford Shankland either for same reason. Wages would also be an issue. Agree he would be good signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are shocking, But they know its a training exercise and try TV type shots, Curling it , placing it , rocket it....but during the game they don't get into the same positions most of the time they shoot when they should pass. Brophy in particular shoots to often , bit one on one with a keeper he is better. during matches we have a lack of numbers in and around the box, A lot of our goals attempts are from half chances , A loose ball or defensive mistake, Not as a result of good attacking football. Where do goals come from over a season and then look at our's. corners or set play - not many crosses from winger - not many Pen's - need players in the box to get a penalty - so not many one / two between forwards - can't think of one and so on. So getting in a Striker or only part of the problem. Creative players and a midfielder with a box to box ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if her can translate that into game time scoring....it’s good news for Dunfermline! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie89 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 It annoys me that Dicker and Power very rarely seem to take part in the shooting practice before games. God knows they could do with it, especially Power. It’s almost like it’s been drummed into them that they shouldn’t be hitting shots. I know it’s not their primary role in the team but their goal return is rubbish - all very well when we’re scraping out 1-0 wins as we were last season but it becomes annoying when you don’t have a goal in 6 games. You never see Brophy, or whoever is up front, holding the ball up and then laying it off for one of our midfielders to have a shot at goal. I’m no tactical genius but I feel like it’s something we should be doing more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
