We won. 
We weren’t good. 
It doesn’t really matter. 

In general we aren’t good when the onus is on us to create & be on the front foot. 
 

Agreed. We’re good at everything apart from the playing football bit. 

[sooth_stander]

Pretty pish, to be fair, dreadful 2nd half

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Again, not that it really matters, but Bonnyrigg had more attempts on target, more possession & more corners than us.

Thank fuck for Bojan 

[Ke1t]

Hopefully Warnock can instill some kind of identity into this team.

We look flat, bereft of pace, low energy, our defence is a shitshow, and creatively we're not quite reaching the dizzying heights of mediocre.

Haha, k

They're losing,  too

Do you ever actually go to a game and watch it, or just read the stats / listen to the radio?

No, it's scary how tier 3, 4, 5, 6 clubs in Europe are becoming less and less diddy. France, Germany, Spain, Italy have made their lower leagues full-pro and the money is flowing in more. No more lorry drivers and farmers knocking aboot doon the pyramids anymore.

Perhaps not on the continent, but Bonnyrigg Rose might have a few lorry drivers and farmers. 
They played some good football, didn’t appear to tire much either. 
Must have had half of Bonnyrigg town there today too.

We’re going off a cliff when he leaves. Need a ready made replacement that’s not Gueye or even Esther. Soklers timing of his runs is so bad. He reads the line poorly every time. Never checks his run. Just Forest Gumps it. 

[AllyDon]

God on the radio "lackluster, dull and where was the fun Warnock promised".

Never in any real danger of losing the match, but a lacklustre performance for sure.

Exactly what I thought. No rhythm or fluidity cause they don’t really know how they’re playing yet under Warnock.
 

also Morris is now boiling my piss. It’s league two opposition and he STILL can’t stand out on that wing.

He can ‘stand out on that wing’ brilliantly, min! The problems start when he gets the ball or tries to cross it.

Good news, guys!

My direct feed from SKY @ £35pm was fantastic, too 😉

You can often get Sky Sports for £19.99 per month via Now TV. Not at the moment. Keep checking Now TV.

Real Madrid v Girona is on ITV 4 soon, 17:30.

 

[Snelders Snottters 89]

Right we're through & that's all that matters. But by fuck we were poor  at prolonged times of the 90.. As the stats will show also jenson is shit at CB!.

[Helmet]

Coming to terms with the idea we won’t play good football this season.

Winning games is all the matters right now, when we get the new guy in we can worry about performances.

Agree.

Sokler tries hard but he’s a headless chicken. 

 

[Snelders Snottters 89]

Basically we can't score without Miovski. Some players were utter shit today.

The shit thing is, Warnock won't have the power to fire and hire. He hasn't a clue about the great players of Europe and elsewhere we could buy. That will be left up to someone with a laptop.

We need a PROPER PROPER MANAGER, a demon of tactics and motivation.

Warnock's Hun praise is still ringing in my ears. What a helmet.

[bonzodaddy73]

Now that's all the league 2 teams out, that's us fucked in the next round.

Cmon now! Millertime doesn’t just look at match stats ffs.

He check’s all the players for their looks and for nice hair too.

Oh and the shoulder breadth too, don’t forget that.

I smell a right old scrappy shit-kicking battle against Hibs coming in the next round...

Yeah I've just seen that but when that original post was made it was 0-0 and relatively early in the match, so it might have been true that Cover were looking the better of the two.

Sounds like us under glass

[Bamber]

this was obviously a learn about the team game and try some stuff

4231

I would  be worried about that against well - just about managed it with shinnie not a formation for phillips/clarkson

3 behind the forward tends to work with a 3 that can swap around Morris HAS to play right of that 3  & Polvara cant play left of that 3

second half was dire

Rangers wont define our remaining games, Bonneyrigg wont tell us much about the remaining games. 1st proper games is wednesday - hopefully the last two games have told him something

Avoid Love Street mk2 and Easter Road.  Sorted.

This^^^

[Ten Caat]

Astonishing that as the home team, playing a team 3 divisions below us who were Lowland League only 3 seasons back and who were junior not much more beyond that..........that we end up with less possession, less shots on target and less corners than them

There will be some (many?) who say the only stat that matters is that we scored more goals than them but really it is a bit embarrassing. We can't even say we played a significantly weakened side against them. 

[Zeus]

Really enjoyed that.

I’m not sure Morris playing in any capacity is going to help, min

[GAME OF BILLIONS]

St Mirren v Tims will be interesting the morn at 2pm. Hope the green cunts shit it.
