Popular Post LargsTON Posted March 2 Popular Post Share Posted March 2 I hope if today is the day the run goes the fans don't turn on the team. If anything they deserve acknowledgement for a tremendous effort. This wasn't going to last forever. Fingers crossed we can turn it around though. 5 "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hej Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 This is very reminiscent of the early season performances when Oakley was injured. We're clueless in possession without him, Muirhead is not a centre forward in this system. He is not making the correct runs and can't hold anything up Chocolate wrists MacDonald is pish btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) We have looked toothless up front. Too many players out. Need to see the highlights but first impression was that Macdonald could have walked over to get that shot at the post. I have no confidence in him.

TRVMP Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 They could give us a corner every minute until the end of the game and we wouldn't test the 'keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee could have been the second coming of Pierluigi Collina and we still wouldn't have won today. Far too many players underperformed from the first minute, French and McGrattan shut down our right game side all by themselves.

Agreed completely, we've been very poor and even though the second half is a slight improvement there is still no chance of us properly testing them.

SassenachTon Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 What a shame. I fondly hoped that our unbeaten run would end in a blaze of glory against Hearts. Sad that it's ended in a whimper at the hands of teuchter relegation candidates. But nothing will ever take away from the magnificent run. Huge admiration for Dougie and the team. Let's hope that our key players return soon. Mon eh Ton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Bad day at the office, without Oakley we have no threat, back to the drawing board. No point in tears and snotters, we just had a record-breaking run and now we're back down to earth, it'll happen. Got to stay right behind Dougie and the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Inverness are a bunch of thugs. Must get it from their manager. Today shows we have a very decent team but lack of squad depth kills us when we get injuries to key players. And I recon with Mullen in goal we wouldn’t lose that one.

HamCam Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 It had to end at some point but we could have at least put up a fight. The injuries gave those normally on the bench the opportunity to step up and make a claim to be starting but sadly they fluffed their lines. Memories of our start to the season came flooding back. Hopefully with the fans support we can bounce back quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Busby's Moustache Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I can deal with the run being broken. What gives me the fear is how we cope without our missing players. Worrying times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I don't think many individuals actually played that badly today, we just looked completely devoid of a coherent gameplan. Muirhead can't play as an effective target man, its just not his strength. Hopefully Imrie can come up with a tweak to the system to compensate for Oakley missing the next handful of games. Otherwise we're going to be under a lot of pressure if we're not carrying an attacking threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 A bad day and defeat was inevitably going to come after such a long run, but unfortunate that it was today considering the upcoming fixtures. The concern is if that's going to be typical of performances without Oakley and Wilson: without them we have no physical presence to speak of outwith the centre backs and every team in the division could bully us the way Inverness did today. Inverness well worth the win, managed having an early lead superbly and outwith the disallowed goal we created absolutely f**k all, because they didn't let us.

Otherwise we're going to be under a lot of pressure if we're not carrying an attacking threat. When the system works properly, we don't rely on Oakley as a target man. We also get the ball back from pressing and winning second balls* in dangerous situations on a regular basis. The bigger issue today was that the four players behind Muirhead didn't press effectively at all. Garrity was the most effective of the four on the ball, whereas McGrattan was both anonymous in possession and a headless chicken off it until he got a bad hit and came off. Blues and Crawford looked a yard off the pace too, which at least in their cases could be seen as the impact of the fixture list. You can't have both game plans completely fail and expect to get anything from the game, but there's no decisive reason why that plan shouldn't still work in Oakley's absence. * Not just a midfield issue: we lost too many 50-50s and second balls in every area of the park in the first hour, including at the first goal. It was just a write-off performance all round.
