Tam for hayes/Sinclair and griff for Forrest has to be done before 60 mins

 

yEAH THIS IS

Yeah its kind of understandable that McGregor is going for the glory ball when they have every player behind the ball I think we just need to be patient though and move the ball from right to left. Disagree about their left back though I think he is dog s*** and hopefully see Hayes getting at him in the second half as he seems a bit of a weak link.

 

Would have Griffiths on at half time, I've no doubt we'd be easy past this mob if it wasn't for having no strikers in the team they've got zero ambition to win this game

 

If we're to make one sub this half i would choose Griffiths over Rogic tbh

 

Griff is going to get a Brace!

 

Kt been our best player so far. We need a striker on but the first change I would make is Rogic on for Armstrong, McGregor to drop back into Armstrongs position as he has been gash. Sinclair has also been poor. My concern is if it stays like this until the last 10 min and as we are the only footballing team on show, if we push on we may open ourselves up to a counter. They are playing like they have already settled for penalties, anti football at home indeed.

 

Don't think we will make a sub at HT if this has the chance of going to ET

 

Are folk watching the same game as me? Hayes is always making himself available and has been taking people on. Sinclairs no done it once i dont think.

 

Takes hayes off for Griffiths

 

Should of brought on Gamboa and moved Lustig into the middle. I think Lustig no longer has the legs to play as an attacking full back. Nowadays he hardly goes beyond the winger (i.e. Hayes). Compared to Tierney, hardly making any impact.

 

And more often than not, got a result.

 

We need the Thumb on ASAP. Clearly * in the final third today with putting the ball in the back of the net.

Get the wee man on so we can get a goal or two.

 

The gane is game is crying for Griff's energy, their defence will be forced to push up when he comes on because further they sit back just means the close he can get to the goal, receive the ball at his feet and shoot on the turn.

 

Hayes has done very well, has drifted out of the game as they mark him more, but that means the space is opening up more on the left and Tierney in particular. Tierney back to normal it seems.

Brown has been superb, back to normal and is running the show.

Forrest has pushed them back, pressed well and doing better there than Rogic did last week. Possibly could have done better with his chance

McGregor and Sinclair's movement off the ball is better than what we did last week. McGregor just needs to get hold of it more and mix it up, run at them through the middle a bit.

Armstrong has been poor, we expect more Stu.

Shame about Erik but he had some hairy moments, he gave away a stupid free-kick and dove in to a stupid tackle that unsettled the whole defence too. I am no fan of Bitton, I panicked when he came on, but has done alright and found a diagonal ball or two.

Erik is a big loss at set-pieces though, he would have scored only for Lord Nicky.

Speaking of set-pieces, I love a short corner now and again, just to mix it up, but for * sake lads! Tight game, get it in the box and not end up knocking it back to Gordon.

We should be ahead, I think Griff would have got one by now. It feels like a matter of time.

 

I think we're overplaying the possession game a little, it's good that we're able to control a game away from home, but sometimes instead of going for a killer pass we're recycling it constantly.

What's massively in our favour is that we've had so much possession that the longer the game goes on the more they should tire, although we need to make their defence run backwards a little more as opposed to side to side.

Forrest has done alright up front, but we need at least 1 natural striker to create more of a goal threat.

Lustig has been poor, should have done better with his chance at the back post and has given it away a couple of times.

Apart from 1 bad touch ( from not looking around him), Brown has played well, especially in the first 20 minutes.

Teirney has play well too, looks composed and played some nice balls in.

Hayes has been a bit hesitant, but managed to take on his man a couple of times and put in some good deliveries.

I'd like to see Armstrong and Mcgregor get more involved.

Overall we're playing alright, but they still look decent enough to score 1 so we need to really take any chances we get so as to open them up.

 

This is horrible, got no nails left.

 

Watching the Linfield highlights makes me want Rogic on

 

We don't have enough subs left to sub everybody who is playing bad.

But we'll be different in the 2nd.

 

New manager.
