Give a bit of credit to Raith Rovers,they held out well with 10 men.

Like with livingstone, they didn't have to do much to hold out. We passed the ball in front of them. When we went wide we couldn't cross it with any danger. Our final pass was straight into their defenders legs. We very rarely made any sort of movement that could create space and the game died a death when we brought on 4 defensive minded players. It was very very easy for raith. A wins a win but that was a game that could have been used as a confidence boost. I personally thought it was very poor.

Crossing - woeful
Passing in the final third - woeful.
A wins a win but we need to be better.

Miss McGregor like fuck...

Cant really judge Liam Scales tonight against Raith Rovers,he had nothing to do but go forward every time.

Are you jinky in disguise
Are you jinky

I wouldn't start a shitty thread about it I was expecting us to play better.

When`s the semi final draw??

 

[Khenny]

Lost count of the number of times we passed the ball straight to a Raith player.

Also, the crossing tonight was deplorable.

We're through but that was very poor tonight.

It was pretty dire lubo
I’m hoping he’s told them to stroll it 2nd half
And I hope the poor firm is down to ajrti being motionless

Have we got ourselves a left back in Scales.

HH

Thought he gave a good account of himself looked handy on the ball aswell I thought Turnbull was taking easy option all the time then he scores thats why he's so frustrating cause we know he can play better but for me he loses the ball far too much still....don't know why we never gave the Greek a run out whys he on bench if he's not match ready??? thats a strange one tbh but over all job done some nice play from our team at times after all the negativity its a nicely timed comfy win HH

Bet we get St johnstone.

The next 4 games will be a big factor in how our season will pan out.
There are no more Raith Rovers waiting for us..

Job done. Nothing outstandingly wonderful. No injuries, no goals conceded but sadly no Greek Dodd on the pitch either (???). Happy for McCarthy for that delightful assist and for Scales who did well against an admittedly poor opposition (who put out Aberdeen remember).

We will have stopped the negativity until Sunday,s game against Dundee Utd.
The daily ranger and the hun wont know what to write about,it certainly wont be about Cinch Ibroke Stadium..

We can only get better from here,Julian,Kyogo,Callum Jamsie what a great quadruple to get back..

HH.

Cant condemn wee Soro for his effort but still dont think he is Celtic class for the position he plays in..

StJohnstone in the semi final

Still seems as if there is a bit of sharpness missing from our play a lot of passes not finding their targets. Turnball sometimes dwells a bit as if he isn't sure what pass to make Ajeti has to pull defenders out of position moving about instead of standing between them Starfelt still looks uncomfortable
