south inch Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 On a similar vein to Paulo's point. Is it just me or do we almost invariably start a match by rolling the ball back to Cuptie who then hoofs a high ball cross field to the left wing where one of the opposition defenders usually gets to it first? fazman1977, Miguel Simao and Dave H 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchcolm Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have taken this point up with managers/coaches for many years and never had an answer as to why teams do this rather than just pass the ball and keep it.It is a school boy tactic. The ball is usually put out of play as near as possible to the the corner flag. Then make it difficult for them to play it out. I too cannot understand why we do this rather than keep it.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) I was listening to Harry Redknapp waxing lyrical about Matt Ritchie having dynamite in his left foot, what about Kano?

Broon Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Couple of observations from the highlights. Muzz never tracked Smith for the goal which slightly detracts from his overall performance. Still MOM though.Kanes flick for our first goal was meant, it was a superbly worked goal. I thought it was lucky at the time. ex-montrosesaintee and croc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have been watching football for over 50 years. To me a big part of supporting a team is the discussion of starting 11, the formation, the substitutions, the how team played and the performance of each player. I believe their is more to supporting a team than going along watching the game and going home. To me Match day is just that a day full of anticipation, excitement, joy, sadness and listening to others opinion and giving my opinion. Yes this is certainly the best team I have seen and the best manager. But just because the are performing at the top of their game does not mean we cannot discuss or give our opinions on the pros and cons of 442, 433, diamond formation or who and why someone is substituted. Some may see it as hoo hah but to me its football.Don't see how watching football for over 50years make you more qualified or less qualified than the next man.A day at the footie for me home or away is a day out, few beers and gossip with my mates and a Saints win makes me a happy bunny.P.S. I could give you a few years croc and lethamsaintee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have taken this point up with managers/coaches for many years and never had an answer as to why teams do this rather than just pass the ball and keep it.i have tth same points raised by my 19s when we talk about centres. There first instinct is to pass the ball back to the full back and play the ball about. All they are doing is immediately putting themselves under pressure get on the front foot and play the ball in their half right away by playing it wide and make them defend. TThaat is mmy interpretation of why they do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Great hold up & back heal from Ando in build up to 2nd goal.I like Scobbie but he was at fault for their goal & he missed a headed in last minute that almost led to equaliser. fazman1977 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see it going in before Smith even jumped.edit - having just watched the highlights, Fisher didn't know if he was coming or going either.What about Spoony though, emulating the child of Jinky Johnstone and Cristiano Ronaldo on that wing for the 2nd goal!

He tracked the lads run and prevented him getting in on goal. He pushed him out wide and arguably his only failing is stopping the cross.Easton was not in position at that point which meant Scobbie was out of position out wide. That left Ando and MacKay in the middle. Ando chose to defend the near post ball and MacKay then had to push to the middle but he didn't, he was occupied by the lad at the back. Because the ball dropped in the middle the next danger is the runner from deep and that should have been picked up by Murray Davidson but he didn't track his runner.All in all this happened because we got caught square too high up the pitch and we didn't track our runners. double deluxe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Jack Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think it's just a pretty well worked goal from Kille. If you want to see shambolic defending, look at our goals!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Easton was caught out of position. Ando do pressed too high up. Scobbie was was wrong side of his man. If any of them do their jobs correctly the goal is prevented. As such they're all equally culpable. Plus Davidson who let Smith run off him.

livi saint Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Saints played brilliant at times and it was joy to watch. I genuinly get excited going to games now, even run of the mill games against Killie.Long may the good run continue.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Cummings could be out for upto 6 weeks. Very bad news... I was really hoping the core of our key performers would have a clear run from injuries until the end of the season just to see what this team could achieve. We a have proved we can survive the odd game without Macca or Mikey but 6 weeks without Graham Cummins is a worry for me.I suppose it really boils down to how dedicated and determined John Sutton is to nailing down a first team spot. I'm sceptical of that and I don't think we can rely on young Chris Kane for 6 weeks to perform consistently at the level of Cummins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to think it gives Kane the opportunity to show Tommy exactly what he can do. He's sat on the bench itching to get his chance, every time he's got it he's delivered, and now he has the opportunity to do it for a run of games. Report I saw said a month, with the international break taking up a week, so it might be as few as 3-4 games that he is out for.
