Surprised there’s no thread yet. Guess I’ll start it.
Superb goal today great finish but FFS son STOP THE CROSS. It’s school boy stuff. He always seems yards away from the guy crossing the ball.
Yet another goal conceded from a cross coming from the right hand side and it isn’t just a coincidence anymore.

Thought we were very poor today. And we have a serious problem stopping crosses coming in. If you stop the cross you stop the goal and at worst put it out for a corner and a chance to organise. Happens every week. Really does my head in.

I wonder what are stats are for crosses against us when compared to other spl teams
I'm not particulary in the camp that it's predominately our full backs fault - or Mcginns as it seems fashionable - wingers will get crosses in it's the nature of the game
We definately need to defend them better when they come in though

One guy behind me yesterday slated him from the moment he sat down in the stand, called him cafu the whole game, was so glad he scored as it made the guy look like a twat, mcginn is far from perfect but why spend the whole game slating players

I think the fact McGinn doesn't close down quick enough, allows the players to get better crosses in, close the space and the crosses are rushed and not as good, basic defending.

Does Paul McGinn lack pace? I’ve never noticed, in fact I’d say the opposite was probably true.
I’m wondering about his positional discipline, although I’m wondering about tactical instruction as well. I actually noticed it happen once in the Scotland game as well - left winger in acres of space out left, McGinn tucked in in no man’s land with a bit of catching up to do when the ball gets moved out right.
Whatever it is - it’s costing us goals and points and needs to stop.
I don’t like criticising him as he’s been a class act for us, as he was again yesterday until that point.
The thing that pisses me off most about him is when he lets the ball roll under his foot and out of play, which he’s done a few times this season and did again yesterday.Last edited by Smartie; 19-09-2021 at 09:11 AM.

I suppose every team in football would ideally like to stop the cross but never works out like that. If you can’t stop the crosses, then you need to be able to handle the ball in to the box. At the moment we are struggling with both.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but could we have sacrificed Magennis for last 10 mins and sent on McGregor or Woods to ensure we seen the game out? Everyone at game could see the equaliser was coming.
