Orinoco Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 One of those games that we produce when on a run. Breaks went for a poor county team and they comfortably saw it out. Just as well the next international break is in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 Looking at that starting line up. If you want our isolated striker to run about until we bring on others to help up front. You start with Robinson and bring AP on later. We created nothing for AP to attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its impossible to tell how good he is. We're hanging him out to dry and not playing him to his strengths. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 I’m pretty much resigned to us producing performances like that now and again but it doesn’t make it any easier to take when it happens. So that’s about 2 in 12 and if we can keep it at that ratio or better we should still do pretty well. Need to bounce back against Hibs next week. Probably not happening but I’d be looking for a more aggressive line up from the start. I’d replace Halliday whose been more invisible than bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it doesn't tell the whole story but the clips of stama when he signed showed he's very much a penalty box striker,he scored a number of goals for his previous club from crosses into the box but yet we're playing him to run about doing the donkey work up against big centre half's,we have obviously scouted him,looked at various video clips and used all that data analysis but like you say we're hanging him out to dry,considering we paid a pretty good fee by our standards to sign him,questions should be asked of how he's being used.look at his goal at easter road,it was a well worked move into the box and he scores.we really do seem to make things more complicated at times than it needs to be.

He must be wondering why the fuck signed for us. If we keep doing this to him I can see him asking to cancel his contract. We are doing nothing to help him enhance his reputation.

One to be forgotten safe travels to the fans coming home , they deserve better. Disagree RC deserved their win, Oxborough brought off 3 really good saves. RC keeper could have had a deck chair and a fag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 I honestly think if we went with Stam and a partner up front he would bang them in for fun sadly he is going to be on the first flight out of Glasgow come January and i dont blame him either. The use of Stam is some next level shit and we spunked a load of money for pleasure of it aswell its been an absoulote waste of time. I dont blame the player as you could put any player in that postion and Kettlewell has no idea how to use it properly i think he tells Robinson or Stam just run about thats it.

grizzlyg Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 I have been saying same comments about Stama for weeks. There is a player there but Kettlewell is clueless how to play our strikers. However......before today we had won 2 previous league games. All teams have bad days so we move on to next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 The main positive from today is that at least we're not Hibs. I'm not sure we can keep blaming Kettlewell for Stama, though. I'm in no rush to judge him, but I'm also in no rush to apply the blame to SK. It was afterall SK that quickly changed our formation that led to KVV's record breaking tally, and it was SK that developed Bair. I will, however, blame SK for not figuring out how to get any urgency out of our players after an international break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post. Stama needs to play off a big target man as part of a front 2. Playing as a lone striker just isn't his game. Surely the management must see that?
