2-1 United

It's been multiple managers that have us playing this way. Its clearly the ethos drilled into coaches at Largs.

I've heard it's because of the costs involved of catering and stewarding a two tier stand it's
cheaper to keep it closed.

We’re fine winning the run of mill turgid championship games that we should be winning, but it’s Goodwin’s record in the big games that concerns me, the signs have been there for a while now that when the pressure is on in the must-win games, Goodwin bottles it. In hindsight, we should’ve known this from the last 5 games of last season, that was a bottle-job like no other.

 
This for me. His inability to get results in the big games is what concerns me. Yes we are top of the league(for now) and our goal difference that we've built up in the first half of the season is impressive. But we are bottling this big time.

I keep going back to that Raith game at Starks Park. Raith went and made subs to go and win the game while our changes and tactics were all about holding on for a draw.
That's when I decided he needed to gtf.

Goodwin might be fine at a club the size of St Mirren where mid table is deemed success but he proved at Aberdeen he couldn't handle the demands and expectations of a bigger club and he's doing the same here.

Goodwin imo cost us that Game with his tactics last night. But talk of the sack is daft.

This ponderous attacking style that we have annoys the fuck out of me. It's slow, predictable and makes it incredibly easy to defend against us.

Thing is though is that it's not a Goodwin trait it's been a trait we have had probably since the Micky Mellon days and I don't understand why.

Another wee thing that annoyed me from Friday. When Walton got wiped out by that wee shit Hamilton I'm wanting more of our players running up and getting in his face. Instead it just fired them up meanwhile we are just looking around not even interested. But again that seems to be inherent to the club rather than the manager.

2-0 United

1-0 United in a scrappy game with few clearcut chances.

First game ive managed to get to for a while but really disappointed by that performance today.

A real opportunity to put a bit of daylight between us and them and we just never turned up.

Felt the midfield created nothing, Moults form seems to have dropped off. Middletons corners were awful, needs to be doing extra practice on them in training or get someone else to take them.

We are so slow getting the ball up the pitch, lost count of the times we would move the ball down the wing and then take an age to whip the ball in meanwhile allowing Raith to get numbers back into the box, so frustrating to watch.

Goodwin should take note at how Raith on the break got the ball quickly up into our box that's what we should he doing instead of this ponderous passing in our own half 

Also this keeping two players in our box at goal kicks needs put in the bin.
