Cagey Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 24 minutes ago, RandomGuy said: Play like that all season and we'll be talking about the top half, completely dominated the second half. Holt is a tremendous player. Ralston looks an upgrade on Duffy, but not as good as Foster yet. Holt the best midfielder we've had since Millar, maybe even better going forward aswell. May struggled to get involved much but there was a clear drop in the ball sticking up front when he was replaced by Hendry, who couldn't hold the ball up at all. Even Willie Miller said we dominated second half. Seems to have been the case that we have been the best team in the second half of most games we played. We have usually been poor in first half. Tommy has to get it sorted. Anyway I thought we would get a result today . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously in the course of a game you have to go long. Its just seems to the first instinct to punt. It will be as much fear of losing the ball & thinking the ball is better at the other end of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were multiple occasions of us playing out from the back, even under pressure. I've genuinely no idea why you've decided to ignore that to claim we're constantly hoofing it.

Correct, no one was commenting on 2nd half performance. Although Saints played okay in the first half, there was quite a few long punts to our wee players.

Pat McGroin Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Good result today. Never a bad point up there. What worries me most is this trend of starting so slow. It seems like we’re always having to correct our style of play or shape at half time in every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Good point. Disappointed that Negative Tommy only started with 3 attacking players and 4 four more on the bench. cristo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmuirton Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) When the referee restarted the game after reversing his own "mistake" at the penalty award I can't understand why Aberdeen were awarded an uncontested drop ball. Saints were attacking when the ref screwed things up. Surely we are at least entitled to contest the drop ball. Can anyone explain this decision for me?

They are now awarded, uncontested, to the team whose player last touched the ball before the stoppage, unless it’s in the penalty area, when it is always awarded to the defending goalie. All other players have to be 4 metres away. The ball is in play when it touches the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristo Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Good to hear the reports about Holt. I presume he won't be available next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 A good display today, liked Holt and Ralston, although Ralston was a bit shaky at the start he did work into the game. May looked sharp as did MOH. Overall a lot of positives to take out of today, a wee result next week please, Cagey didn't read all of the randowmguy/Cagey spat but from what I did see. First half we were playing the long ball and were wasting it more than anything else. Second half we started to keep the ball on the deck and got it moving about. Can only hope that the new Aberdeen stadium will have a better view for visiting fans that Pittodrie, not helped by 3 saints fans that were determined to impersonate a brick wall for most of the second half instead of sitting on their bahookies. Thanks guys for sitting when asked though. Johnny B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
