St Mikey Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 We've been used to defending and playing a negative 4-5-1 formation so why are we conceding soo many weak goals? That's 3 again tonight, 2 against Trnava and 1 v Luzern. We used to be decent at defending but now we are throwing goals away to the opposition to easily and no sign of any new bodies is depressing.

St Mikey Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Pish result. Glad I couldn't watch it Don't. This is why I don't go to the game against them or The The Rangers. Is get arrested as we never get anything from the "unbiased" "fair" referees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 We are still good at defending but making silly mistakes. Celtic were slow and ponderous in attack. Especially in the first half we just mopped it up no bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Some mistakes have happened and been punished. It will even out. Not time for the wetting of the knickers just yet imo. HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 At least we know TW sees the same things we do given Miller has been benched last two games. (And yes I know he obviously sees things much better than we do) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggets Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Watched the game today live on sky, yeah Ando messed up for the first goal, but the other wear not down to bad defending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 4-5-1 is not a negative defensive formation, Individual errors not tactics have cost us, Just one of these things where we are getting punished for every mistake we make.

Pelosi Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 The spy from Maribor must have left with a lot of confidence...watching that disaster of a Celtic defence...the little pressure we applied made them look very susceptable to losing some goals!

patsy Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'd much rather Mannus made a mistake like that when we are already beat instead of a game we are winning 1-0 craiginasaintsstrip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saints Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I think we came down to Celtic's level in the second half?! Also, we had 3 games in less than 7 days...whereas they had Saturday off!? Up until Ando's mistake I thought you would be hard pushed to tell who had finished top of the league! I am sure we'll beat them next time...we made them look average! COYS⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ sleepless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just one of these things where we are getting punished for every mistake we make. That about sums it up. Every time we slip up the opposition seems to be scoring from it. Two in the last European games, County and last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkeld Fury Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Boring Feel free to align yourself to the "Miller shouldn't be dropped" camp, I'm quite happy to not represent that lot I've not heard of that camp mate and I'm not in it, but I think people missed your point as I did at first reading. Gaz Miller was dropped and rightly so, I think even he would agree? he seems a decent lad? Tommy has said many a time in interviews his professionalism is first class even when being benched for long periods? The team won on Sunday, so you do not change it, however more mistakes have been made so others must be 'punished' accordingly, you must set a president! It's early in the season, standards hav been raised by this team, expectations are high and the nervousness will take a few games to settle down. Things will get better, plus we've lost our top goal scorer. Everybody will have their favourites, but you MUT admit when they have had a stinker.

OldPoster Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) The Defending last night was the best i have even seen saints execute Yes 2 individual errors and a dodgy pen cost us the goals but this no way reflects how they played The shape of the defense / midfield and high tempo pressing game up until about the 60th minute was unreal and if we can put in shifts like that every game we will be top 3/4 this season Edited August 14, 2014 by saint_markperth Seannachie, Broon and byebyedundee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I mentioned Alan Mannus and his kicking early on last night and wondered if he was carrying a niggle. He also made a movement during the game, whether it was making a save or not I can't remember, but when he landed he seemed to pull up sharp or favour one leg as if he was hurting. To me it looked like a thigh strain but it may have been my whisky induced imagination as no mention has been made of him or his display. Just did not look happy last night.

ancientsaint Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I just bought a Gary Miller top signed by the whole squad AND it FITS me ! He must be a big bugger -anyway he is going to come back better and stronger. Saintdunc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scobby_SJFC Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 You cannot legislate for the mistake Ando made, he could train all week and never do that, same as Mannus. I'd rather he made that error while 2 down that when we are 1 up or drawing. The rest was a result of cheating and a poor Ref Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 There's a difference between good, solid defending, which we did, and a couple of howlers, which we did. swindon saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
