| 62. Author: Pars Athletic Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 19:12 Mehmet is a big part in the reason we lose so many goals from set pieces. Also with 2 ex defenders in the management team we should be drilled better at them. Aside from that we are absolutely awful to watch, we show no attacking intent unless we are chasing the game with 15 minutes to go. I`m not sure anyone got pass marks today. Maybe Comrie, Cooper and Joe chalmers did OK when he came on. At least he tried to play a bit of football, the rest was just hoof ball up to Mcann and Kane who has become very soft when holding the ball up. Always falls over looking for a free kick when there is the slightest touch. Reply |

| 64. Author: summeragent Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 19:14 d3monstrate, Sat 28 Sep 18:54 Mehmet does not command his box. Static on the goal line for corners. Has us playing from the back. Palms the ball into dangerous positions. Tobi gets us up the park on the front foot. The contrast is clear for everyone to see. Reply |
| 65. Author: DJAS Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 19:36 summeragent, Sat 28 Sep 19:14 Was gutting when I seen the team. The difference is massive. Not a fan of the ironic cheers or booing him when he was named in starting line up though. Doesn’t help at all. Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply |
| 66. Author: evo! Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 19:50 I felt u easy on seeing Mehmet starting, and yet until about the 70th minute I felt he had been out best player. Not one player beat a man, drove at pace, foneted a pass, won a 50/50 until that moment at 2 nil down where we had the penalty shout..couldn`t tell you it all happened so fast. After that we played well, and perhaps we`re unlucky not to score again. Having said that, I`ve no argument with the result, good for the final 20 mins ai t enough. Frustratingly, I felt we offered more interest hat 20 mi s than queens park in the first 70. Outside the two goals they only had I think 2-3 other chances. They passed and moved well and made us look amateur by comparison, but I can`t help but think if we started the game like the way we finished it, we would have won it..so frustrating BEAST! Reply |

We were on the front foot granted, but only because a very, very average team were gifted two goals and decided to shut up shop against a team that has no idea how to break a team down. We were , utterly, utterly dreadful from the first minute to the last, complete garbage. Kane…a donkey. Wighton….a donkey. KRH….yeah great ball rolls mate but nothing else. Mcann. I will save my breath. We have no one in the team that is capable of beating a man or making a decisive defence splitting pass, unless you count Wetherspoons defence splitting pass…….to QP. It’s beyond a joke, beyond embarrassing . I am actually beginning to thing that this is the most useless, pathetic team I have ever seen at EEP and that’s saying something. But, we will still have the eternal optimists telling us that we are on the right track , just give it time, we are only seven games in etc , etc. It’s absolute crap just now. If we don’t win next week……he has to go, no ifs, no buts………gone ! What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 70. Author: Indiapar Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 20:24 I think we need to set our stall out to win games. I don`t know if it`s me but sometimes i think we give the opposition too much respect. When we pressured the QP defence they made mistakes or panicked. We didn`t do that until the last 20 minutes of the game when in reality the game was over. That suggests to me that it is more about having an attacking mindset. We have become too negative with one touch too many, not looking up or looking forward for an early pass. That was the difference in the teams. QP had more vision moving the ball, got into spaces, passed the ball quickly and always looked to move the ball forward. I felt heads went down when we lost the first goal and we only tried to score when we lost the second goal. Some self-belief needs to be instilled in the players, and we need to play at a level where the opposition worries about us, not the other way around. If you pressure the opposition, they think twice about opening up and coming forward. It`s as much physiology as anything else. Positive mental attitude. I also don't understand why we don't go through the middle more and run at the central defence. Kane holding the ball with his back to goal isn't working and is too predicable in my view.

| 71. Author: Alter Ego Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 20:34 Just imo if a team has a good spine then you can add but I don’t think they trust Mehmet in goals… Mon the Pars! Reply |
| 72. Author: summeragent Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 20:43 Alter Ego, Sat 28 Sep 20:34 Think Mehmet slows the pace, doesn’t command his area and thereby puts pressure on his defence. We play much deeper when he is in goal. Reply |
| 73. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 20:49 You can hardly blame Mehmet for the lack of an attacking threat. Oh, I forgot, this is .net - it`s easier to blame one player for all the team`s faults. One (of many) thing that puzzled me was replacing Young with KRH about 5 minutes into the second half and moving Otoo (who was clearly struggling with an injury) to LCB. Mind you Otoo with an injury was still more effective than a lot of his team-mates. Reply |
| 74. Author: desparado Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 20:50 Indiapar…..it’s the managers job to set our stall out. He fails miserably to do so most games. Making three subs at HT is an admission of failure. We were only 0-1 down but it was probably to do with the fact that we never laid a glove on them in the first 45……we very rarely do tbh. Against Ayr it took a great strike from Otoo, and against Raith it took a massive deflection……we don’t not look like scoring in any frigging game we play. There is no more to say. If we lose next week he has to go. I honestly believe that Chris Hamilton could pick the team and tactics next week and we could have nobody at all in the dug out and we would perform better….. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 75. Author: DJAS Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 21:00 wee eck, Sat 28 Sep 20:49 Young was injured too. We noticed before ht he was struggling. Must have been giving it 5 to see if he could run it off. Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply |

| 80. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 28th Sep 2024. 21:59 In his post-match interview McPake said he subbed KRH for Young to bring on another attacking player, nothing to do with injury apparently. Why not do it at half-time? Reply |
