Plastered Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I suspect there is also an element of pressure. Remember it wasn't many weeks ago he was all over the media being touted for a big money move South, and a future goal scorer for Scotland. There must be an element of self inflicted expectation, and going a few games without scoring could easily knock his own confidence. This could mean the difference between passing and going for a wild shot at goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstar101 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Bit of vindication for Stevie's shoot on sight policy? As exciting as it is when May gets the ball and you can feel the anticipation of him 'having a go'.....tonight's goal for me doesn't entirely vindicate his recent approach of rarely passing and just trying speculative efforts all the time. Thing is, maybe, say, 1 in 10 (being generous) go in (and tonight's by all accounts was down to dodgy keeping).....that ratio could perhaps be increased (to 2 or 3 in 10) if he made the correct decision whether to shoot or pass to a team-mate in a better position more often. Of course, that is a thing we can never know as you can't rewind time and see what would have played out if an alternative choice was made Edited March 12, 2014 by Edstar101 Inchcolm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiangsu Sainty Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hope it doesn`t go down as an OG by goalie. Based on the angles given by the highlights it could well, but not conclusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broon Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Needs a rest and after tonight wide left is not where we should be putting our prized striker. He was more effective when he went out there though! Was a bit crowded in the middle with country packing the defence!

Cagey Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 He was more effective when he went out there though! Was a bit crowded in the middle with country packing the defence! Agreed.He did more in the last 10 mins than in the whole game & should have had a pen.He was hirpling for 10 mins after that tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 If current form continues, could we see his hypothetical value falling more towards the bids that were actually made? I can't see any bids coming in of the value some were talking about around christmas as it is right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) My Saintee-Vision 2000 tells me that SPFL defenders are singling Stevie out and he is being kicked about mercilessly just now and is getting little protection from a succession of poor refs. Or he is starting to go down easily and too frequently now. Thoughts? Edited March 30, 2014 by rik2304 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mad referee Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 My Saintee-Vision 2000 tells me that SPFL defenders are singling Stevie out and he is being kicked about mercilessly just now and is getting little protection from a succession of poor refs. Or he is starting to go down easily and too frequently now. Thoughts? Could not agree more Rik2304!!!!! When SM broke into the 1st team, he was an unknown quantity! Now that the defences up & down the country are picking him out for a bot of rough treatment. The referees you mention dont help the situation and they need to be looking at the way opposition defenders are singling SM out for the rough treatment he has been receiving of late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
