0-0 Good Or Bad?

[Eastcoastdon]

Unsure as to whether most would see this as the same topic that is under Celtic Game, but... A 0-0 draw on Saturday against Celtic, what way would you take this result. I'm interested to see what most folks will be as weeks ago I for one would've been delighted, but now after so many drab 0-0 results and awful performances I'd be really p****d off even though it's 1pt and a clean sheet off the OF, is this what dire performances by the dons does too you!? Just make you disappointed even if we did hold them to 0-0

We have to attack, a win and a lose is worth more than two draws

[tightbreeks]

We'll have to score against the tims. soaking up the pressure is all well and good but a fast outlet is needed when we get a chance and practicing tasty free-kicks is a must.

Couldn't agree more, months ago I'd have bitten your hand off to even get a 0-0 draw at home to Dunfermline when we were rock bottom, but now we have pushed on we just can't get that extra urge to go out for the win instead of just settling for a draw and scared of buggering up if we did go for the win and end up losing

A 0-0 against Rangers or Celtic would be ok for now if viewed in isolation. Being organised and working hard to achieve a point against a much stonger, deeper squad is fair enough.

 

However the REAL problem is we play it far too safe against teams like St Mirren, Dunfermline, St Johnstone, Inverness, Hibernian etc when we should be just going all out in these games for the win.

 

So if we managed a 0-0 against Celtic I don't think anyone would be too excited.

Plus, stop leaving no one upfield when the opposition has a set piece. Does my fuckin nut

Fkn draw (before the game) is NEVER good enough imo.

I will only accept draws (during games) if we've been down a couple of goals & had a backs to the wall games.

 

Before a ball is kicked, a draw can never be acceptable & this is exactly the kind of mentality we need to get OUT of our players heads but that's going to be near impossible under Brown's stewardship.

 

Fkn moaning cunt Lennon is moaning that his poor wee fkn team is tired.

Ah boo fkn hoo for the biggest fkn squad in the SPL

We stopped their great home run a good few years ago, so let's be the fkn team to stop this one now.

I don't think we can "go for it" against a team that's just won 15 games on the bounce or whatever it is, it's not Football Manager.

 

On the other hand we are undeafeated since xmas eve. Since then there is no evidence to suggest we will 'go for it'.

 

Normal setup, normal draw.

[RUL]

I'd be happy if we conceded less than 5 with Motherwell approaching

agreed. it's fucking horrible and only encourages the keeper to stay on his line aswell. wtf is the point coming to claim a cross when you have no outball and zero runners with pace. just inviting pressure if you ask me.

[sheepiekev]

One question will answer your thread...

Who is our manager?

Therein lies your answer.

Brown would bite your hand off for a 0-0....as well as your leg, your arms, your head, everything.

Guarantee the starting X1 will reflect that.

1 man up front, 5 strikers on the bench.

This has been an annoyance of mine for a while. Mitch Megginson can do very little in the air, apart from creating more opportunity for mis-communication, what purpose does it serve to have him in the box? Leaving him on the halfway line takes 2 of their players away from the penalty area.

 

It leads to as stated, more pressure on the box, with no chance of a counter.

 

Against Hibs they had 2 players up front against us when we had a set piece.

Hope he's using some strong steradent for all that biting

[wilm1542]

0-0 is bad unless it's against the old firm and even then it should never be a result that we go out onto the pitch aiming for. We've drawn the last 3 games which is the same as losing 2 and winning 1 of the last 3....

Agreed ollie, it's a fucking joke that tactic

[Stoneybloke]

If we drew every game 0-0, wouldn't relegation be inevitable?

We played 38 games last season and finished of with 38 points, finished 9th.

[Stoneybloke]

No

So Brown's tactics are just what's needed. Ultimate safety, but extremely boring and frustrating. Crowds in even greater decline.

[Stoney]

a point better off than this point last year....got to think of the positives

[Henry]

practicing tasty free-kicks is a must.

 

 

Practicing FKs should be an immediate priority, we're fucking awful at them from what I've seen of the last two games.

Corner's as well.

 

Why oh why do they persist on letting Fyvie take set pieces.

[spamspamspam]

considering it took us until the 25th of February to score out first league goal of the month you can almost guarantee the score will be 0-something meaning 0-0 is about the best we can hope for.
