Quite happy for Cathro to stay, it certainly wasn't his fault last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Pretty poor performance from Motherwell last night admittedly on a poor surface with a few players I wouldn't expect to be in the first choice 11. Mcmanus gifted them a goal with what was their only real chance. Edinburgh city were decent enough and well organised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye thought we (City) we going to hold out for a penalty shoot-out there but just couldn't hold on. The pitch did look 'sticky'. Nae bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathro has made some good signings in the summer, Lafferty, Berra and Michael Smith all look good and having Souttar back will be like a new signing.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lafferty and Goncalves look decent up front and we seem to have some decent wing backs so its just sorting out the keeper and someone to play alongside Walker and Cowie and we have a decent starting eleven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an absolute tip Ainslie Park is. And I thought Edinburgh City were dire v Berwick. One from those two will finish bottom of league 2 with City sealing it if Craig Beattie continues at Centre Half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first time there on Tuesday and I thought it was decent. Wee, but certainly not a tip. Mind you I spent the 90 minutes squinting through the low sun...... I don't think City will finish bottom. More or less a new team that have only played together three or four times. You may be right about Beattie though, particularly when up against anyone with pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I thought Edinburgh city looked a decent side, far better defensively than Queens Park. Ainslie Park is what it is, it's a non league teams park. Got a small stand and a grass bank, I'm not sure what's to be expected facilities wise, unless I'm using the Queen's Park game as a barometer again.

They'll not need much bigger than Ainslie Park. Just a wee bit crap with all the Spartans signage around - home games will never feel like home games. Playing wise they need a lot more pace up front in my opinion. They had that last year with Ouzy See, linking well with Beattie's flick ons but he's now signed for Forfar. Grimes (who scored against Well) looks good but he's not an out and out forward. Never had an outlet at all when Well were pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The right back had Frear in his pocket for 70 minutes and the captain at centre half looked a solid player, probably MoTM for me. The boy Moses playing left wing looked the part, but seemed to be getting a lot of stick from the keeper and defence for not tracking back, and a lot of our better moves came down his side, perhaps in a game against weaker opposition with less defensive responsibility he'd do well. Keeper commanded his area pretty well too. Caught more crosses in 90 minutes than Samson did all last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A soulless "stadium" with one wee stand and nothing else. Dreadful pitch too. In an absolute tip of an area of town. Im amazed anyone thinks they are anything better than crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch - aye, fitba should always be played on grass. Area - Granton isn't exactly in an affluent part of area, along with Pilton and Niddrie.
