Treble substitution with McBain, Wyness and Wilson off and Niculae, Rankin and Morgan on.

Get Duncan off for Black we've got a team

ICT Defence just been described on Scotsport as a "Halloween Horror Show " :blush02:

Treble substitution with McBain, Wyness and Wilson off and Niculae, Rankin and Morgan on.

It only took till the 79th minute before Brewster noticed the game wasn't going our way  :023:

Ho Hum. We humped Gretna then Aberdeen hump us. Guess what goes around comes around.

Not looking forward to the Rangers game now  :029:

Defensive blunders are a problem but also with 10 shots on target it seems the players have a problem with finishing! Out of 10 shots only 1 goal! SHOCKING

They weren't even good shots. Langfield barely broke sweat.

diddy cup :010:

now we can concentrate on relegation I mean top six.

Drop Fraser anyone?  we just cant get out of the feckup defence mode can we?  Bayne aint up to it, lets face it the long ball crap is total pysh-forget it.

DOH - if you had an ounce of footballing sense  :017: We were back in the feckin game when Bayne scored - The subs came after the killer goal when we had to go fer broke.

NO don't drop Fraser, fair enough he cocked up with the 3rd goal but he isn't the only person to blame for the conceded 4 goals is he now?>

He wasnt  :024: - Who the feck was in goals then?  :017:

Aberdeen looked extremely quick, and had our defence beaten for pace with nearly every attack.  Our midfield was all over the place, none of them seemed to know where they were supposed to be. plus putting the long ball in with every attack becomes predictable and easy to defend. Crossing was extremely poor, wouldn't like to count the number of times the ball sailed over the box, or didn't reach at all.  Big mistake not changing the team earlier - we clearly weren't playing well (mind you, the subs had been waiting to come on for about 5 minutes when Aberdeen scored goal number 4)

Back to the drawing board I think... 

He wasnt  :024: - Who the feck was in goals then?  :017:

Fair enough he is our goalie but what is our defence for then? Are they not meant to help Fraser out?

All I have to say is that we need to start using more creative players and get the ball on the ground, get Rankin, Deano and Cowie in the same squad and lets start playing football.

We need goals, and there seems to be a player who is more than capable of scoring albeit in the reserves, pre-season, league 1, championship.........there is only one man for the job..............

What feckin defence ?

GUTTED :019:

Hang on a feckin mo - Am I being told that we played McBain in central midfield - Bazza on the right and Cowie on the feckin left.  :029:

Just back from the game.  We didn't have a hope in **** of saving the game after the second penalty.  We're being served the same cr@p just about every game....long aimless ball and giving the ball away too often.  Aberdeen could have scored six.  Fecking severely disillusioned.

for rangers, or any game... id go

Zibi

Rocoe - Munro - McGuire - Hastings

Cowie - Black - Rankin - Morgan

Nicolae - Bayne

For the Rangers game I am going to Brechins to get feckin hammered.  :011:

for rangers, or any game... id go

Zibi

Rocoe - Munro - McGuire - Hastings

Cowie - Black - Rankin - Morgan

Nicolae - Bayne

i'd go with that. cant see it though

Where was Black tonight ? did he get a bad injury at Gretna game ?

That was shocking tonight. Givivng away daft penalties, then ,and even worse was the goalkeeping. Trying to be smart and shimy the on coming attacker ! What the fek was he thinking about ? He just gets back in the team and he does that ? And worse was to follow. The fourth goal was totally his fault. He bottled coming for the ball and that allowed the lad into score. NO BOTTLE. If a keeper isnt brave he `s got nothing and I`m afraid this lad needs to go back and learn how to be a keeper.

Thats one of the worst I have seen. Aberdeen werent even that good.

Missed playing a game of footie for that. Would rather have watched Coronation Street than being subjected to that.

   

Get Hastings away to feck, put Roy back to left back we were winning till Hastings came back into the team ( cant count Gretna) they were PYSH.

There is something really wrong with this defence, Whether its the centre that have no confidence if Fraser or the other way about i dont know, we will not mention the D word anymore he is history and we need to look for answers from the management, they have had long enough to identify the faults in our back five and need to sort the problem.

Mikey Fraser is now going to be a big problem... what does Brew do now?  will he put Zibi back in? Saturday is going to be a nightmare.

for rangers, or any game... id go

Zibi

Rocoe - Munro - McGuire - Hastings

Cowie - Black - Rankin - Morgan

Nicolae - Bayne

No Wyness..?

I thought it was a shocking decision to drob Malkowski after 1 error, and its been punished tonight. What recouse has he left himself with now? Putting Fraser straight back into the side without having to earn it was a terrible call.

Yep, no Wyness  :003:

He definitely has his place in the team but only if the 9 players behind him can get their act sorted, aslong as we're shipping goals we need Bayne and Black on song to take pressure off.

As I;ve said elsewhere, fans on this site need to stop looking at team selection on an individual to individual basis, the team I'd play to accommodate Wyness would be.

Zibi

Roscoe - McGuire - Munro - Hastings

Cowie - Black - McBain

Wilson - Wyness - Marius

If youre putting a side on the park one man at a time then obviously the whole thing will never click.  Just look at tonight with Duncan and McBain in the middle of the park  :017:  Both could have a case argued for there inclusion there but not together (and not with Cowie on the left, it might work if it was Wilson and they was interchangeable with McBain).
