But by end of February we need to be in a better position. Playing a few teams around us so we have to start picking up wins in those games. Draws are not going to cut it. Expand I didn't think we'd get a point from either game, so we're a point better off than I'd anticipated. Some more winnable games coming up but I'll be happy with a point at Dingwall; three would be better of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a doing off Hamilton, picked up points in the next two, lost today. I doubt Ross County's scudding at Ibrox will help us on Wednesday.

texanwellfan Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 For the next couple games I’d be tempted to try Watt in midfield in place of Polworth. I’m betting he would be much more effective. I’d start Smith as well. He looks strong and can actually control the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erskine Alpha Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 We aren't that bad maybe some poor decision making from us but the ref ended that game of football with some poor calls. I reckon the ref may need to to the lower divisions to re-learn his trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally every piece of promising attacking play comes from Tony Watt. Expand I like Watt as he's a grafter and offers IMO a lot more than any other striker in terms of all round play.

Expand The thing is anyone can state that a team did better against another team, they did better against Aberdeen, we did better against Rangers, just the way it is. People say it’s a relegation team, I just think with a couple of addition it’s not. Results would back that up but I don’t think results will remain that bad, I just think we’ve hugely underperformed. The defence and goalkeeper should be about the best in the division outside the old firm for a start, of course we lost half of that for most of the season up to this point. We have also lost a very influential midfield all season who I believe would have made a difference. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoF Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Jeeso man, has lockdown sent some folk a bit mental? Alexander has realistically had two games in charge. He got a great point against Rangers, and today we created more chances in the first 45 than we did in the last 5 or 6 games under Robinson. We've been undone by a moment of absolute stupidity from a player who should know that there are options coming back into midfield, so Alexander doesn't need to tolerate shite like that. He's made what looks like three decent signings so far and we already look like a more cohesive team than we did for most of 2020. I'm definitely feeling more positive after today than I did a fortnight ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand For the very first time, I am starting to have my doubts. This team should not be in a relegation fight and yet it is and every week we talk about bad luck and poor decision making. Today was a big game, Wednesday is now massive. I am just not sure this team have the wherewithal to get themselves out of this. I don't think ability has ever been the issue. There is something else missing. Determination, guile, intelligence? I don't know but it is the same every week. I was reasonably confident about today. I thought a draw would be likely and that we might just sneak a win. Aberdeen are not a great side. It was the same story again however. No goals and a game changing mistake on our part. I can't see what it going to change it. Polworth reminds me of Vigurs. Full of ability with a very questionable temperament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All games are winnable, and other than the Old Firm, nobody's THAT much better than us on any given day. But it's up to the manager and players to change the trajectory of our season, because right now we are a play-off team at best. Decent additions will help, players up for a fight will help (Kelly ticks both boxes), the new manager will hopefully help (though the repeated fiasco at short corners today is concerning) - and getting shot of certain hopeless or gutless wonders will definitely help. Wednesday will be huge, given the psychological effect defeat could inflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
