Dave H Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 A game we may have struggled with at the start of the season. No games in 3 weeks with the winter break, Morton finding form in recent weeks - I was expecting a tougher game. To win 3 nil and could have scored more is very pleasing. Thought we played well enough, to remove any rustiness. Still a few mistakes and how some players cant make simple passes is beyond me or knock it out of play that frustrates the hell out of me. Gulf between the teams was evident from my seat. Worthy winners. Good game to dust the cobwebs off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Obvious from yesterday that May & Kane were not on the same page. It could be that given time they could build a good partnership but I doubt it. Debate probably unnecessary as I doubt Tommy will play 2 upfront unless we are we are playing lesser teams.

Very little mention of Booths goal but Clare's goal for Hearts almost touted as goal of the season. Mind you I think Booth could have hit that with his right foot another 10 times & not hit the target but you could say that about most spectacular goals.

Linky Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team win 3-0 and yet play so poorly. Long balls from the defence, aimless passes, May & Kane running on top of one another. That said, a win is a win. Good points: Tanser looked ok on the left-wing, this will give us a bit of confidence, May took his goal well (& showed once again what he can do if given the right service). I really hope that if Kennedy does go, we use it as an opportunity to play in a way that suits May. We have to build the team around the player that is potentially our best, rather than repeatedly trying to stick him in a system that doesn’t suit him. This means balls through the middle, and ditching the out-and-out wingers. Unless new players are signed, MOH has to be the player that feeds May those balls, playing through the middle.

Abernethy Saint Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) I saw some stats the other day, on twitter I think, which showed the number of goals scored from crosses (and, as a result, the number of goals scored from headers) was way down right across football. Through the middle is kind of the modern way. Found a different article saying the same thing, but focusing on the EPL. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/10/16/crossing-heading-dying-art-premier-league/ Edited January 20, 2020 by Abernethy Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either we start with Hendry (& another striker who’s game is focussed on heading) each week, or we change the way we play. We’re not going to start scoring until that happens.
