Oh no, to the contrary. What we did is to fill those spaces freed with people incapable of playing the football required. Instead, all those DMs and the CM sat back and we played virtually on top of our defence, instead of keeping them occupied in their half - something creative/attacking players would have caused.

 

Likewise, Borna and Tav didn't provide any attacking threat whatsoever.

We are trading on having a goalkeeper. 

And, em, that's it.

Maybe good for Europe against much better teams who will dominate the ball but domestically we need more bodies up the pitch.

No, not really. They were playing up to their capabilities, and fair enough. We seemingly are looking to find our capabilities and for weeks run about blindfolded.

 

I do not know what Beale's plan with the substitutions were. Either they were rubbish or the players simply didn't comply, maybe a mixture of both. This sort of stuff doesn't do anything for our confidence, and the confidence of the players in their manager. It was really, really grim to watch. If we manage to get kicked out of the cup by Livingston, this might be it for Beale ...

 

Best player (and so far acquisition of this transfer window): Jack Butland

 

... closely followed by Lundstrum and Lammers. Good to see Wright back, he was again shifted all across the pitch).

Scott Wright was absolutely diabolical today

MOTM will be easy again this week......

Maybe of unhappy fans should copy the action of the Ajax fans today

Cheese n Onion ! that was freakin awful again. I almost picked up the news paper on my Dads coffee table three times during that hideous game. I know we got the three points, but it is merely polishing a turd.

Dreadful performance. Replacing Matondo with Souttar is unexplainable. Everything went downhill from then on as the team had so few attacking options. 

 

Going with a back 5 and 3 defensive midfielders at home against Motherwell is just crazy. 

[yuddie 1,693]

Brutal viewing.

 

I think Beale wanted the defenders and Lundstram to carry the ball in fairness but alas, they're shit scared.

 

Writings on the wall. Pains me to say that because we're back to square one a year on from Gio.

[yuddie 1,693]

Let's start again with Butland as the first signing and a different manager haha.
