I see from the BBC that St Mirren are having an 'unforgettable' season. Shame we're having a totally shite disaster of a season with relegation looming. If only we were up there with them. Hopefully the new manager can get us up the league to compete with the likes of them.

We have been a lot less leaky with stuff recently. I'd see that as a good thing. Not sure what info the club is going to put out other than that we're reviewing/interviewing candidates. Pretty sure it takes a few weeks usually. The initial names that came out would have been from those guys' agents, making sure the names were out there while people were paying attention. Also, the Scottish sports media will be focusing on other more sensational things right now to be hounding our dinner lady to find out who's been stopping by.

Feels like if you are interested in a shot at managing us you just need to take any coaching role going then wait your turn.

A brief progress update wouldn't go amiss. Just a short statement to tell us us what stage the process is at.

Remember the old joke. How did Rangers get on today? They lost 1-0. Oh who missed the penalty?

That was hysterical. The ref tried really hard to get the penalty retaken as well. The Onion Bears did a lovely rendition of god save the king at the end there as well…… that just added to my enjoyment… gutted for them 🤣

Odds are nothing more than bets placed they mean fuck all in reality.

A lot of the time defending errors are made in midfield. 4-4-2 is the simplest, least complex system and you should be able to get a team to defend in 2 banks of 4. Also the three centre midfield vs the two centre midfield thing is a bit of a myth. Often it ends up 2 v 2 as very few teams play a flat 3. There are lots of tactics videos on this. As for full backs, that's pretty much the case at every club for decades. They still have to defend though, just the same as strikers sometimes have to chase back or get behind the ball and wingers have to drop back off the ball. And there in lies the problem for me. Too many players at this level are either a bit lazy or don't have the engine. To play at the very top you need the technique but you also have. to absolutely work your arse off. That's what I don't see very often at this level. If you could get players at this level to physically work as hard as players at the top level, even without the technique, you'd dominate.
