Comments on here so predictable. First loss at County in 11 games I think. Fine lines. Better to lose 1 game and won 1, than draw 2. 
VAR ridiculous. Score a goal and lose momentum because it takes over 5 minutes to give not offside. Should be automatic. Opponents get chance to reorganise and we try to  keep warmed up. 🤬

We must be expecting a very tough game. 6 defenders in the starting line up 

6 defenders. 1 up top. Zero attacking midfielders.

Stama isolated. Wingbacks not making runs. Useless punts and pings. Second to every ball. Even the pies were shite. 

I may provide a fuller analysis of the game in time. Suffice to say, however, Kettlewell is a donkey and we got exactly what we deserved yesterday having set up like that.

Utterly appalling and predictable pish from kick off. County deserved their win. Wish I hadn’t bothered with the massive dangerous journey.

We lost 3-0 there last December, in an appalling game. Fine lines as you say though, and we've won quite a few games narrowly.

I think whats upsetting many folk is SK's overly cautious tactics and seeming inability to learn from his mistakes. Its not the most exciting football to watch but in fairness has been reasonably successful so far this season. Recurring weaknesses include defending too deeply; failing to achieve clean sheets; weak midfield; isolated strikers; and over reliance on set pieces to score. We're reading these comments week after week.

Now I get that some of these weaknesses are down to a horrendous injury list, but some are down to recruitment failures, especially up front. Usually a manager will try to source a wide variety of different types of a striker to give him various options. That doesn't seem to be the case with SK. We'll look at Vale, Stama, Ebiye, Robinson, Maswanhise, Tavares and Watt. Vale, Tavares and Maswhanise are all fast, can play outside the box but are lightweight. Stama and Ebiye are penalty box strikers but lightweight. Watt is more physical, bit is not  a prolific scorer.  Robinson is quite talented but very lightweight and not a scorer, despite yesterday's goal.  In my opinion only, Robinson, Tavares and Watt have disappointed. SK loves a 3-5-1-1 formation and thats not a recent thing; so why have we not recruited a big target man?  Like it or not defenders are becoming bigger and bigger.

We had a fortnight to prepare for yesterday's game and SK should know Ross County inside out. So why did he get it so wrong? I get the players too had an off day.
