Shoot!!!!

[s10blade]

Today's failings have been done to death already so not going to labour the point but just a couple of things...

Seriously - are the players on a bonus to ensure we pass the ball all the way around the penalty box before attempting a half arsed shot? It drives me insane. Shoot, try something new, beat a man, what the hell's wrong with them? It's not just this past three games, it's been like this all season.

Kevin McDonald - one of our best players undoubtedly but my god he's overrated. Half way through January and not one goal to his name this season. Every pass is sideways or backwards. Starting to look as though he was possibly carried by better players in the team last season.

The season's not over, it is a bad patch and we will be there or thereabouts.

I said a similar thing about KMac on another thread. He's a glamour player who clearly shines when we play well. But:
He's not had a memorable performance in a big game (he's unfortunately missed a number of them through injury and suspension)
He never shoots
He is not the right player for a battle or when were on the back foot

I'm not scapegoating him, I'm not saying he's a bad player. He's excellent on his day. But his game isn't to dig us out when were in the shite. Look back at Michael brown, he wasnt the ball player that KMac is but Brownie was able to dig in, put the tackles in and more importantly weigh in with goals when the supply to the strikers was poor.

I would say that we should always look to start KMac, but in some games, we need to look to sub KMac when games aren't suiting him

Playing a left footed winger on the right and a right footed winger on the left doesn't seem the best plan in the world either. Flynn and Blackman can't use their other foot, so the chances of them getting a decent quick cross in are remote, to say the least. They manage to cut in on the odd occasion, but when it comes to putting a ball in the box the have to swivel round to get it on a foot they can kick with, and that gives the opposition time to get back.

Perhaps swapping them over might work, but it very rarely happens for more than a minute or so.

I completely agree

thank the fucking lord.. agree totally
btw i'm starting to think KMac is under doctors orders not to shoot because of his hamstrings.. it's the only explanation
