Well if Simo wanted to explore the hidden depths of our player pool he instead found the putrid shallows.
Lets just hope it was one of those nights where everyone was off form.
Cover for Defense and midfield look good but I think we need another forward for the striking position. We currently only really have two with Lloyd in reserve and his fitness seems suspect.
I remember in the Ormond era the chant about we have Freddie, Freddie Aitken on the wing. The new Spanish guy might be more difficult to integrate into a chant with a name like that!! Should the ability to fit into a chant not form part of our signing criteria?
A big difference to me is they Partick seem to get a lot of late goals to either win or draw a ha,e while we often concede late. Off the top of my head away to Queens Park, away to Dunfermline and of course home to Partick.
Alarm bells ringing after that one.
we seem incapable of playing more than one half in a game
build up slow even turgid
crossing very bad with lots of wild over hits.
None of the forwards give us what Sidibeh did.
Other teams have sussed us out
We still create chances on only one side of the pitch
on the other side of the fence, Partick do not have our quality especially with their key injuries but
look more like scoring goals than we do.
crossing is far superior to ours and forwards take advantage of it
I think Patrick would have won that game today even if they had gone behind.
To quote an old Only an Excuse joke - we seem to have turned a piece of piss into a precipice.
Arbroath next week will be hard.
We really do not another striker n the window. We have goals in our team but a real poacher could make the difference between automatic promotion by a distance ot some nervy moments and slip ups. A few injuries and suspensions could really undo us or indeed lose someone critical late on transfer deadline day.
If we keep being this good it can only be a matter of time before Trump starts claiming credit. Not sure I am looking forward to looking over at the Donald Trump and Geoff Brown Stand after he renames it.
