blueheaven Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Isn't it because of our insistence on playing wing-backs who aren't really suited to playing as wing-backs? They're left with way too much to do on either side of the pitch and opposition teams are seeing that and exploiting it. If we played more traditional full-backs with wingers/wide midfielders in front of them, we'd probably be a lot better equipped to stop other teams from getting crosses in. I noticed particularly in the Ross County game that County were hitting a lot of balls over the top of our wing-backs for their attackers to run onto and send crosses in. We got a bit lucky in that game from the fact that County weren't good enough to get anything out of that tactic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMac Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Dundee shredded us down their left hand side the whole game , first half especially, but nothing was done to change it, by the coaching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did try and change it a couple of times, to be fair to them. Got it badly wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the present coaching team made any changes this season that has won the game. Just asking for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern saint Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 (edited) Levein knows we have to stop crosses coming in so I think he'll be prepared accordingly. Mitov, McGowan Keltjens, Olufunwa, K Smith, Gordon, Considine, Gallacher, Robinson Phillips(if fit to protect them.) Probably Max but for Sprangler in this role. Kimpioka I truly hope for a four four two but at least we have width over the park. Edited February 17 by Northern saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingston won today, and next 2 games are Ross County and Motherwell, then its us. We play Rangers, St Mirren away, and Aberdeen away before that game. A very real chance we are just ~3pts off the bottom come that match. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are so wrong! Gallagher and Considine should never be on the pitch at the same time - so limited! Considine hobbling about like a 70 year old man and Gallagher treating the ball like it’s a land mine. As for Max starting against that Rangers midfield - god help us!

Saintdunc Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Can anyone tell me what our heaviest defeat ever, at home, is? Radford would know, but his visits here are now rarer than cows being seen flying over the moon. Today Rangers will be at it from the off. Couple of Stagecoach buses parked on the goal line couldn't protect Mitov today from whatever our defenders get up to today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was a pretty good saints team. Rangers were star studded with the likes of Van Bronckhorst, Kanchelskis, Albertz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know why theres is a line up while ours is just written down, but aye, that looks a very good Saints team that would beat the current one IMO.
