Just found out the news of Gannon's sacking about 20 minutes ago. I am both shocked and disappointed. I only hope that this decision does not come back to bite Mr Boyle on the arse.
I now believe that the hopes of a top six finish are now a pipe dream and that the rest of our season will become a constant battle against the threat of relegation. With Gannon now gone we will probably see Ruddy and Lukas not extend their loan deals from Everton and Yass will move on as well. Any signing/loan targets that Gannon had in mind for January are now gone too. I can also see us losing Reynolds and possibly O'Brien in January. If we bring in a manager who is currently under contract to another club that will be any budget for new players gone to pay compensation and the thought of having someone like Jimmy Calderwood just fills me with dread.
I would love to be proved wrong with my doom ladened predictions but I honestly fear the worst for the remainder of the season
Well said Steve. Too many folk have pressed the panic button. Sure 6 -1 is a bad result but we had a very young team out against a team full of seasoned internationals. Hopefully the young guys will learn from this experience and build on it.
However our next 3 games are crucial. I think we need to take at least 6 points from them.
Mon the 'Well
I actually enjoyed the match today despite the scoreline. Good to see Jennings in midfield, I thought he gave us a bit of 'dig'. Another cracking performance from Ruddy - deserved the MOTM.
Didn't agee with bringing Pollock on, Sutton would have done a better job linking up with Lukas
I would gladly take a draw but sadly I think it could be 2 or 3-nil to the mhanks. However I would love to proved wrong and see a win for us.
Mon the 'Well!!!!
I don't see a thread for this game yet so I'll set the ball rolling......
Same starting 11 as last week.
This will be a hard game and I'd be delighted with a draw however I think Hibs will sneak it 1-0
Just watched the highlights on the BBC Scotland website. Poor defending for their second goal - nobody picking up Daly's run. Then a great save from Weaver to deny Lasley right at the death
Gannon's programme notes in the last two programmes have been quality.
It's obvious he doesn't feel the need to sook up the tabloid press unlike certain managers with their journo mates in the Record, Sun, etc....
