Well where do we start on this one?
Cruising at halftime only one team in it then the removal of Suda again on 60 minutes to be replaced by Sibbald 2nd week running, we colapse. We had the mix up in defence by a keeper that loves to go walk about, yet we have a top keeper on the bench?
The kray twins then look lost as whoever is in charge tries to work out that we should then have 6 accross midfield, yep boys that will work a treat...not.
Soon it was 2-2 but we kept pressing when we could and got a penalty in the 90th minute only to be the worst penalty I've seen taken for a while. Struck with no conviction, no power,no nothing.
4 points lost in two games we should have been out of site in.
Sorry but this level of performance by letting teams back in is simply not good enough even at this early stage of the season.

Unfortunately this just about sums it up though I don’t think that was the worst penalty in a long time it was the worst ever!! Completely underwhelmed by Dykes the whole game waste of space, where was Miller he at least wins some of the high balls. We then take of the player who was making things happen and we end losing a comical goal and panicking and surrendering our lead. 2-0 and we f****d it up.

We were streets ahead of them until a silly error let them get a foothold & some belief. Then poor defending & it’s all square. But we stepped up again to be on the ascendancy & got the pen. Sadly it was more of a pass back than a shot.
Before the season started I’d have been happy with a point in this game, the way Saints started the season I was hoping for a win but was concerned at our inability to take chances, but I am greatly disappointed that we threw away 2 points.
It is still early to be overly concerned but there are issues that need addressing sooner rather than later.
Why does Souda get subbed every game?
Why doesn’t Tiffoney get a start or at least get on earlier?
Why do we play a target man without a partner to feed off his knock-downs?
Possibly more, but those are enough to be going on with.

Possibly more, but those are enough to be going on with. Yep Nick totally 100% agree. Souda by far is the most creative player we have yet removed as you say every game. Nothing against Sibbald but when your 1 goal to the good and under a bit of pressure from the opposition and you have a need to create that cushion with another goal you'd rather have Souda in play rather than on the bench. Others could have made way (Keegan for example, my postie gives better deliveries than he did on Saturday) But your right a few questions need to be asked at this stage, I'm not convinced the bond of the twins is their and it seems a battle of wits of who ever is in charge. Not being negative just disappointed in the teams performance this far league wise. Never mind Forfar this Saturday great birdies. |

Just about got over us throwing away two points when we had the game dead and buried, and then got a chance at the end to take all three points again but blew it.
I can now look at some positives, we haven't a prolific striker, which was a worry, but the midfield three of Souda, Pittman and Lawless look like being a success, and a source for goals. The more I see Souda the more I like him, I don't think we've seen the best from him either, definitely looks like he'll get better and better as the season progresses. I don't know the reason as to why we're subbing him, hoping that it's to save him a bit so he doesn't burn out, as he's perhaps not used to the intensity of our training, and playing a full ninety minutes.
Long way to go yet though so hopefully he'll get the chance to play all game soon. This could also be Pittman's season, to bag ten plus goals, glad we've got him well tied down with an extended contract, I've a feeling there'll be a lot of interest in him by the end of the season, and it'll cost them a pretty penny to prize him away from us.
