I was worried when we kept giving free kicks near our penalty area after the 2 late goals they best us with at Midden. Johnny B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 May & Hendry did nothing when they came on. How lucky are we that we have a partnership that can work together in Guy & Kano. Hopefully to get us into Betfred final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, good two days for us - 3 points and Motherwell and Hamilton denied their freebies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Would be happy with that team with Craig in for Bryson next week. Happy with front 2 & defence. Think Rooney is fine at wingback & better defensively than Danny Mac. Could do with another McCann in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 We've played better this season and lost, but at least we got the 3 points. All the players that I've been complaining about all season actually did well: Kane, Bryson and Clark. We looked more assured with Kerr back. Melamed had an ok game again. St. Mirren didn't offer much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints11 Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 I think today sums up what I find most frustrating about Kane. Not faulting his work rate, nor am I complaining that his goal has secured three points. However, I know this may be petty, seeing as he’s scored two in two, but his lack of composure in front of goal is hugely frustrating. Good run & positioning for his shot which led to the goal but looking at it again he’s bloody lucky with the rebound which he almost hits back into the path of the keeper. Shoe on the other foot Zander would have been slated for doing the same. As for the shot at the end, again lack of composure, plenty of time but he’s leaning back and the shot is always rising. I’m sure plenty will say but he’s scored, we’ve won, but for a great save he’d have scored two, give him a break. I just think he doesn’t have the composure and over a season he’ll miss far more than he’ll score. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Melamed will help him & partnership can only get better. By the way even if he isn't scoring I would have him in the team as he contributed in other ways.

Stevie looked a shadow of himself today,slow,lethargic and not working hard enough imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yesterdays performance was consistent with our performances most of the season. One big difference was we made very few mistakes which gave us a clean sheet. I remember one horrendous one by Rooney with a short pass back but this time it did not result in a goal. Keep scoring and cut out the silly mistakes and we are good for the points. I also think this is the best formation 3.4.1.2 and we should persevere with it. We got a draw against Hibs at Easter Rd so no reason to change for our next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellowBox Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Big 3 points. Kane and Guy worked well together. Guy fairly puts himself about as does Kane, which give us a presence up top. Zander has clearly been working on coming off his line more as he was much more commanding of his box. Hopefully breeds a bot of confidence all round for a huge game next week.

crieffsaintandy Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Think the Kane Melamed pairing look more threatening than we have had all season, at least getting in positions and yeah Kano will miss a few, but just watching May yesterday just looked a yard short. At the moment Kano and Guy offering far more than the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he looks like he is running in sand & because he hasn't got pace is getting caught offside by trying to get behind the defence. crieffsaintandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very clever little back-heel to Bryson (who should have done better) at one point. We have brilliant competition for places up front at the moment, and look so much more dangerous now that we're playing two strikers and occasionally attacking through the middle.

The last sentence hits the nail on the head. I never feel threatened by a team playing one up front. There are exemptions of course but mainly because they have a team of exceptional players such as Man City . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
