Scozzie Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I watched the live stream and I thought we were the better side going forward .... the penalty was a stonewaller which could have made it 2-2 and we probably would have went on to win it... unfortunately you can't beat luck and I thought QOS had a lot of luck today.

HamCam Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Despite the drizzle and the result it was such a pleasure to be back at Cappielow. I thought we deserved at least a draw but a combination of poor defending and a lack of squad depth led to our demise. Most of the team played ok yesterday including the young lads who came off the bench however three starters disappointed - Muirhead, Hynes and Lyon. Muirhead just does not do enough to justify a start against anyone other than maybe an outfit from the seaside leagues, Hynes got owned ithroughout the first half lmost obviously in the lead-ip to the penalty (MacPherson's tactical analysis was to holler at Hynes to "snap him") and Lyon, once again, failed to take his opportunity. Despite what MacPherson has stated we clearly need a creative influence in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungoTon Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Personally I thought we were dreadful. Long, high balls loosely aimed at 2 big guys ain't my idea of football. No guile in midfield. And no pace anywhere in the team. When Knowles came on at least he offered something different, however we then stick Lithgow up front weakening both defence and attack as we then reverted back to big punts up the pitch. Another long season ahead with our customary relegation battle looming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 We need a box to box midfielder to link up our attack to defence as well. When things are working up front we are creating enough dangerous opportunities but we are too easy to play through and the team became disjointed when chasing the game. Lyon should be stepping up to that role by now but he was anonymous yesterday. We cannot rely on either him or Blues as a first pick and if/when Jacobs is unavailable then we'd be in all sorts of trouble.

Mr.Blue Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Thoroughly enjoyed that yesterday despite the result. Just being back at cappielow with a decent crowd and a game full of goals, incidents and needle. Thought a draw would have been fair but as I've already said we cannot allow those defensive lapses to continue. Really felt for Hamilton who was left exposed by his defence and to his credit did very well. The sooner we get McLean back in the team and ledger goes to full back the better as I think it'll make us more solid. I also think strapp is being wasted when he's playing as part of a back 3. Yesterday showed that we are really short of any real depth, experience or quality and the changes from the bench just were not going to have the impact needed. We especially need at least another central midfielder and a winger. Russell did well imo as did Knowles when he came on but I do worry that we are going to be overly reliant on Ugwu and Queens played him really well yesterday. As for muirhead the less said the better. I really like Oliver playing in that free role behind the strikers but ideally he needed to be subbed yesterday as we chased the game and he tired.

A pretty toothless display from us. Put a lot of good balls in to the box and just didn't take advantage. I thought the Oliver foul was a pen at the time and still think the same.

BishopBrennan Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I don't think it is a penalty, Oliver goes to ground anticipating the contact (which is the right thing to do), but he either mistimes his fall or doesn't want to risk the full force of the contact. If there is contact (which I'm not convinced there is), then it's minimal and happens after Oliver has fallen, which could quite easily be seen as simulation given Oliver has fallen in anticipation of the contact. I think the ref got it absolutely right, if Oliver is going to go to ground then he has to make sure he forces the contact. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!

He would have just been clattered by that haddy in real time and it would have been a clear as day penalty.
