CCB III Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 12 minutes ago, Millertime said: Yep was sat beside my brothers in law One a celtic fan one a "rangers" fan Said exactly the same to both of them - this sitting back rarely ever works and sure enough, they equalise and actually should have won, with the lammers sitter Fair enough defending if your defence is good - ours isn't and the worst part of their team is their defence too, so put that under bloody pressure! The movement of rangers forwards and Celtics forwards the other week really exposed us. They got in behind plenty of times. I don't even blame the 3 CBs because they are being asked to more or less be solely responsible for maintain our lead. There was no structure after 20 mins yesterday, we just hoped we'd nick it off then and break. The amount of times Goldson or Lundstram were allowed to gallop unopposed to the edge of our box was wild. We played two strikers but because they weren't being backed up in the press, one pass through them took them out the game. We've no chance of winning this cup on the Hampden pitch if don't find a way to get us going for 80-90 mins with a structured balance of surrendering possession, but having the ability to win it back in a meaningful area. Yesterday reminded me of PAOK at home a great deal. 1 2 Link to comment

For us to have had zero in the last 3 and only 1 in the last 4 would make both Ian Porterfield and Alex Miller blush. For Robson to give himself any hope of succeeding as a manager here or elsewhere, he really needs to come up with a plan B, of how he approaches the game. He has one of the best finishers in Scottish fitba in his midst and he is preventing both Miovski in particular, and the team in general, from flourishing, with his lack of wingers, and his long ball over the top reliance Corners are overrated. Statistically the success rate from a corner is very low. 1 Link to comment

DelMonte Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 23 minutes ago, Millertime said: Yep So surely the key is, use your subs Keep pressing If Shinnie tires, bring on barron or polvara If miovski tires, bring on Sokler If mcgrath tires, bring on Duk And so on Yes our team on the park might weaken, technically, but if the starter is knackered they will be less use than the sub anyway It keeps the momentum going If you genuinely don't have a sub to play the role to bring on, then sort it In January Surely that's bloody obvious Sokler at 100% WILL be better than Miovski at 50% It also limits chances of injury flogging the same guys So bloody simple I don’t think we had the subs yesterday to do that. Who’s at fault for that is another matter however. Link to comment

We needed two strikers who could do the job of the other two, which is a disgrace in itself as no way should Sokler be fucked before half time. Link to comment

Agree with that. A lot of it I believe is down to formation. Our WBs aren't getting forward enough to take on the opposing fullback to at least win a corner. Link to comment

When you’re shelling it direct & going long, as opposed to using width, then it stands to reason we’ll get next to no corners & attempts on goal. Do we still have the lowest attempts on goal per game in the league? Link to comment

We could’ve & should’ve had 2 goals from it yesterday. But we undoubtedly do it as the default tactic & on Robson’s instruction & do it far too much. Folk like Barron, McGrath & Clarkson almost negated Most fans with half a football eye already see it. 1 Link to comment

Nout wrang wi ‘at. David Beckham made a career out of them. As you say, it’s when it becomes the norm and not an occasional tactic, that’s when it’s a problem.

Worth noting that we have played the fewest games in the league and 1/3 of those (4/12) have been against Rangers and Celtic. So arguably we've had the toughest set of games of any club to date.

If Robson was appointed partially because of potential, in regards to the FMB thinking he was a young manager, open to modern coaching techniques etc etc and so was worth the risk, but the downside was he’s not yet “fully qualified”, then you could accept ups and down in the short term as long as there were signs that longer term, clear playing patterns were emerging, as well as in game formation changes and reacting to the ebbs and flows of the game. We are seeing none of the above. Link to comment
