Al k Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Back on topic, there has to be a massive improvement. We offered Kane absolutely nothing and from what I made out we went back to our awful set-up and slow play. Hopefully a better showing and a win to put any fears some fans might have about relegation play offs to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 How about getting someone up there with Kane? He may as well be on an island with Wilson ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no master tactician but as a general observation we are always much better playing 4-2-3-1 and having guys like KRH playing further up the pitch. I'm sure our results since the Partick away game would prove that the four at the back has been much more effective. Not sure why McPake keeps trying to go back to a formation that we've not done well with in this league. The wide players are too deep and we are very slow getting forward when we play the back 3 with wing backs.

parsforlife Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 It started as a back 3, with McCann quite close to Kane, moved to a back 4 midway thorough the first half and then after HT our midfield shape was all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been shown on many occasion we don't have the players for it at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted April 17 Author Report Share Posted April 17 I'm thinking when Hamilton is not in the midfield we tend to be run over and we don't quite have the combative players to challenge it. Otto is good but when Hamilton and Otto were playing a defensive roll it was clearly evident that we struggle in the middle of the park. Probably why our striker(s) are so isolated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a massive jump in quality in the championship and more often or not theres been at least one goal lost. Then we are too slow or not creative enough up the other end with the set-up.

Stanza Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 To be fair to DD (must I?), he's using a guid Scots word, certainly in the West of Scotland. He spells it slightly differently from the Scottish National Dictionary, but spelling has always been flexible - particularly in the West ... https://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/sndns2594#:~:text=MOLOCATE%2C v.,2000s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkiepar Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 (edited) Interesting, Stanza. Not a word - even correctly spelled! - that I’ve ever come across. Interesting too that the dictionary references are all quite recent: i.e. 1990 or later. Edited April 18 by Yorkiepar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
