I’ve been thinking the same regarding Abdulai. He’s never put a foot wrong and I find it strange how Bene has displaced him.
I can’t imagine he’s injured or carrying a knock otherwise he wouldn’t be on the bench.
We need Turley on and he’s a top player and a big miss.

You’d probably take a point now but I’m less sure I’d have taken a point pre-kick off. The disappointing thing is yet again it seems it’s the ‘experience’ in the squad making mistakes. Really annoying because you need your experienced players not to make mistakes given how young the rest of the squad is

I think the point is there`s no point in lashing out mid game and saying something that isn`t helpful later.
You are quite right that the slow starts are concerning and need to be addressed. If we can spot it I am sure the management team can do too. And the time to sort it isn`t on a fan`s forum half way through the match! Good that the lads have continued to fight again.

Oh bugger, just as he`s starting showing his potential, along with losing another striker who was maybe adapting to our team. It`s a massive let down and could hinder any chance of reaching the Scottish Cup Final and will make it harder to achieve 4th place.
Who`d have thought that one of our players would be in with a chance of the golden boot (if there is such an award in the Championship.
Let`s all pray that CM is fine and dandy, nothing a couple of days rest wont cure.

I don’t want to see us start 352 again this season.
We’ve start that game 442 and we take all three points.
No harm done to the table tho, we extent our lead over Ayr by a point.
Morrison injury is pretty concerning, he’s just hit form and we really need him for the run in considering we were already very light up front due to Rudden and Thomas injuries.

I’ll take it 2-2 after going 2 down in the first 15.
Morrison out injured - jeezo that’s 2 main forwards we have lost in the last week. With our schedule that’s asking a lot of the squad but we will just have to get on with it.
Well done Pars….
You’ve seen the Pars now please go home!

No game next week is maybe a blessing.
We always say the first goal is crucial in this league, so to come back from two goals down is commendable.

Take the draw here after another horrendous start at Dingwall.
Bene looked well off the pace sadly and had us sitting too deep.
We changed it second half and 4-4-2 looked like a proper set up to stop their wide men.
Hoping Morrison injury isn’t long term.
Looked like either groin or hamstring but safe to say he’s out for at least 3 weeks so we need to give Josh Cooper his chance to shine again and change our approach in the coming games.
Results elsewhere were favourable so with our goal difference, we look like 4th at least if we keep this momentum going.

A good battling result in the end to come back from 2 down.
However, I was not only surprised to see Morrison start (after Lennon said he had been feeling his groin all week and was touch and go) but also that he played so many minutes.
It really didn`t look great but we can only hope that with a few weeks off he will be good to go again.
Will he save it? Save it??? He never bloody saw it! Like a bullet!

Hopefully Morrison isn’t long term, I’m sure Lennon said he hadn’t trained in his preview so must have felt he needed to risk him what with lack of forward options and the international break.

Morrison pulled up last week just before half time. I was surprised he came out for the second half. It doesnt look good, he would have loved to bang two in against the Grangemouth crew.

Very surprised they let Morrison nearly see out the full 90 today despite him apparently not training all week. I know we can’t rely on Kane to see out the full 90 but hopefully we ain’t gonna pay the price now .

In his post-match media interview NL was asked about Morrison`s injury. He acknowledged he had been nursing a groin problem all week and welcomed the fact we had a break now which would help clear up a few knocks. He didn`t seem to think CM`s issue was long-term.

Agree with that, but it was our most experienced player who let us down badly today. I’ve never been a fan of his although I did acknowledge a couple of decent games he played earlier in season but he has no pace at all. This needs to be his last season. Some players can keep on going but Bene, unfortunately for him, isn’t a Davey Weir or a Richard Gough.

We can’t keep using the fact that we’re a young team as an excuse for poor performances, especially when it wasn’t mentioned at all when we were winning games. We’ve managed a decent run, but as most teams in the Championship can testify, consistency in this league is hard to come by.
Yes, the first half was poor, but for me, the positive was how well we reacted. We haven’t seen that in a team for a long time. Being able to get back into a game after a bad half of football and still come away with a result is what will keep us in the mix.
Yes, we’re a young side, but we can’t use that as an excuse when things don’t go our way and then ignore it when we win. This league is notorious for its inconsistency, we will have halves like yesterday, but the pleasing thing was the reaction and rectification.
This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

Can’t see how Bene could play in a back 3 with no pace. As said by others he would simply set us up to deep. Think we’ll see him warming the bench for the remainder of his Pars career.

I’m pretty sure Bene was picked in a back three to combat Ikpeazu’s physicality ? It didn’t go to plan, hence the change, but I can understand the manager’s thinking.
Todd was anonymous, which didn’t help.

Folk keep mentioning how young our team is, but it wasnt that young yesterday….
Oxborough - 27
Todd - 24
JCM - 21
Bene - 34
Ngwenya - 23
Fraser - 22
Gilmour - 27
Amade - 26
Morrison - 26
Tod - 20
Kane - 31
No teenagers in the starting 11 and an average age of 25 and a half years old. And when you look at some of them (Todd, Ngwenya) they have plenty of experience at this level now too.
Add in that 3 of them are in international squads, the youngster excuse doesn’t hold as much weight now.

Bene was excellent 2 weeks ago against Ikpeazu and White in a back 4 alongside NGwenya and Turley and Fraser.
Yesterday he was in the middle of a back 3. Jerry and NGwenya repeatedly gave the ball away cheaply and Todd had an off day, to put it mildly. The shape was addressed at HT and we looked miles better.
Bene struggled yesterday but he wasn`t the only reason we were so far off it for 45 minutes. He`s an easy target tho, I suppose.

Have to agree with that. The poor passing out of defence by JCM, Kieron, Matty put Bene under unnecessary pressure. When you play a back three you really need to be decisive when clearing the box, and be accurate with your passing. Several times when clearing the box in the first half, we had nobody to pick the ball up in the midfield areas to take the pressure off.

JCM had two chances to clear it for their first goal and made an erse of it on both attempts. Bene probably should have headed it out for a corner for the second, although Ngwenya didn`t have a clue, and by the time he decided to commit, it was too late. Good reaction to a poor half though. Good result considering the result at half time. Hopefully we get the bad performances out of the way before Hampden.

would have taken a point before the game along with no injuries, hopefully Morrison pulling up isnt as bad as it looked but just confirms the need to certainly look at free agents before the end of the month.
"I`m pretty sure Abdulai could have dealt with the physicality. Has he been injured? Not sure why he`s been benched recently."
dont think he would have and hasnt been injured. last game against Queens Park, Lennon went mental at him 4 or 5 times in the first half an hour, along with a few other moments in games before that, think they have looked at it as time to give him a break

I may be wrong here but is Abdulai of Muslim faith and may have been participating in Ramadan and the fasting may have affected fitness levels to go 90 minutes in a physical league . I know other Muslim players have played during Ramadan but it was just a thought as to why we haven’t seen much of him lately.
