Johnny B Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Again making his back 3 work MOH wing back and Rooney centre back why not play 4 at back with Middleton and MOH wide in midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south inch Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Not up on the rules but whether or not we might have wished to play one or two of our more promising youth players was not an option as they have a cup final today. Hope none of our certain starts for Friday picked up an injury. At least the likes of Zander, Hendry and Hallberg were nowhere near the action.

Cagey Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Great confidence boost for Friday . 6 shots on target 4 goals. James Scott who hasn't scored all season and isn't rated by the fans scores 3 goals. Why do non scoring strikers always manage to get off the mark against us.

yahoorsir Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Gutless performance (again). Hopefully a number of these players won't be with us next season (except MacPherson unfortunately). Would not be surprised if the way things are going we resign Parrish but he seems incapable of saving any shot that is on target. Why Sinclair wasn't given a a run out is beyond me. That abject performance will have given ICT a lot of encouragement and yet again the supporters let down by a number of players players who look as they couldn't care less. What a total wate of day. If we are anything like that on Friday its hello Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Actually thought we were playing pretty well for the first half hour. You’ll never win games if the defence can’t compete for crosses and you’ve basically got a goalkeeper that changes direction slower than oil tanker.

I think it shows where we've been this season that the first half probably could be viewed as decent. We at least managed a few passes but then were heavy in midfield with both strikers dropping in rather than being in dangerous areas. We still didn't have nearly enough width. If you look at the five shots we had in the first half, they were all from outside the box. We had one touch inside the Hibs box (and it was unsuccessful) yet, I can't disagree that given our standards, that first half seemed alright. What a poor reflection that is on Saints.

south inch Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 From the moment the ref called time on Wednesday Callum has made it crystal clear that his only concerns about the Hibs game were to try and avoid injuries and suspensions to key players in advance of the playoff. That must have come across loud and clear to the players especially to the fringe guys who must have known they were only on the pitch to protect the likes of Zander and Hendry. Given also that Callum would have difficulty motivating a nun to go to mass is it any wonder that after a fairly bright opening an attitude of indifference eventually prevailed? pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought midfield was ok for the first 45 - Butterfield and Cammy were getting time on the ball and controlling it well enough - the problem was the lack of movement up front. Cifti was drifting in and out and I thought Middleton drifted too wide too often. It meant that the short quick pass wasn't available as often as it could have been. Add to that the wing-backs not getting forward (Cleary/Rooney definitely have a communication/linkup problem when playing together) and it explains the inability to turn possession into real chances.

rik2304 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 None of the wider squad showing any interest in stepping up and challenging the "regulars". Did Callum pay attention the years he was Tommy's number 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav69 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 What is it with our keepers who can’t collect a ball at any post . Zander is pish at it . Parish do you have hands ? Mannus was pretty poor at near post / far post saves . Look back the last few seasons and you will agree at the manor of goals we lose at the posts . I can just imagine the team talk from away managers ! Auch just aim for any post with a drive !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those goals were anywhere near a post, unless you mean Parish was a post in the middle of the goal? A very embarrassing goalkeeping performance.

blueheaven Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I think that game demonstrated what happens when we actually try to play some good football: i.e. we're even worse. Back to parking the bus, creating nothing and praying for a miraculous scrappy goal out of nowhere it is, then. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
