Bair just needs to shoot

Putting ourselves in trouble

I wish we would bring Shaw on and give him a decent amount of time

Plus I am about to start watching the game so that should ensure a goal for rangers

I’ve reached the stage where I try not to get my hopes up and keep fingers crossed we don’t get embarrassed. Quite a few time we seem to handle them pretty well but then waste all the hard work with a silly mistake or the Ref decides to help them out

Champions league: 1 team from each country. No seeding. Straight knock out H+A europa league: 1 cup winner team from each country. No seeding. Straight knock out H+A conference league: same number of teams from each league. No seeding. Straight knock out H+A no dropping down to lower tournament. When you are out you are out. this would also help reduce number of games players have to play. would help to spread money more evenly. Only “drawback” is that rich clubs will stop getting as rich. Unfortunately I don’t ever see it going back to that as it’s all about money

If we do get pumped, it’s all your fault for buying a ticket.

Or 3 in the last two games I think?

See, that’s it right there! It’s the hope that kills you when, once again, we fail. Hence today I am resigned to the fact that we will get nothing. However, by Saturday evening I’ll be 100% convinced that we’ll be taking all 3 points.

Per normal if we can take any points for this game it will be a bonus. Hoping we can win or draw and come out with no new injury worries. COYW!!!!!

I thought his scoring effort in the first half was ok. His angle was very tight and well covered by the goalie so he went for a more difficult option of putting it in at the far post and narrowly missed. It wasn’t an easy chance. The one in the second half he just snatched at it as it came to him quickly.

SK view of the issue leading to their goal is not about free man at the back post so perhaps not really O’Donnell’s fault?

We had 20 shots, 7 which were on target and 1 that hit the bar plus we had 8 corners none of which we looked particularly dangerous at so I think those stats back up some of your comments. Sooner we get our “preferred” choice strikers in the better. Although I’m sure there will other games where if we have similar stats or worse we will score goals. It’s been a while since we had a midfield move the ball around like we did today. I also noted Mugabi dribbling on a few occasions but I don’t think I like that. 😳

Especially being light up front at the moment looks like we need to work on corners and free kicks. We really didn’t cause any concern for St Midden today from set pieces.

We can criticize and bemoan our lack of scoring power but we are a much better football team than we have been for some time. I am looking forward to a good season and while we will most certainly miss KVV I think when we have some of our injured players return perhaps even before then we are going to win more games than we loose

I would have brought Shaw on earlier but having said that he should have buried his chance. Unlucky for new kid hitting the crossbar

Had our chances. Played some good football but just not our day.

FFS don’t think we are scoring today

I’d bring on Shaw just now

Onside

I think Shaw might provide more of a goal threat than Bair. Bair had decent effort as the angle was pretty tight but just couldn’t steer it into the far corner

Think we just shaded the first half. Hopefully we can score a few second half

Bair certainly puts in a lot of work but because of that I think he should have been subd earlier as he seemed, not surprisingly, to tire. So I think he starts and wears them down a bit for Shaw to come on with fresh legs and take advantage. However, I think it will depend on how the game is going what changes get made. Probably different plan depending on if we are winning or loosing and how nice is it to have a manager with different plans ready to deploy!!

Or the manager !

What’s up with Spittal
