I’ve never played the game at any decent level so don’t understand the full set up to a great degree but having been in positions of management in my career using what was staff were available to get things done (feck me that sounds like something from a CV) I get a lot of what folk are saying about SOD but to be fair to the guy he’s playing in a position that’s not his natural position, he is getting to the end of his career and as such he ain’t as mobile as he once was but I do believe that he is trying and I’m sure that if there was anyone else who the manager (and previous custodian of the role) thought was better then they wouldn’t have SOD in that position. I don’t know the guy but I do feel he gets a load of undeserved stick here and at games, yesterday for example, leaving him one on one with their top scorer was poor from the other defenders and as I’ve said previously, rest of the game he was no better or worse than most of the team. Maybe folk should try to encourage him and the others during the games and leave their abuse for on here where it might not effect them.

Agree with the above, Casey was our best man although everyone gets pass marks, some were better than others but none were shite just not as good as they can be.

This game is winnable and (although I’m not saying we will) with a bit of luck we could also win another two or three before the split. I don’t know about any of you folks but I saw an improvement today by the fact that we closed down their defender’s, tried to protect the defence and although we didn’t make any clear cut chances on another day we could have got something out of the game. Onwards and hopefully upwards, keep the faith, glass half full and all that folks.

I fear he’s going to bully our defence and Cameron will dictate the game.

Had some bad touches but also had some good touches and passes today, no better or worse than most of the team today.

Disappointed that we never got at least a point today but we never really created any clear chances, although if we could have got a bit of luck we could’ve left with all 3 points. Getting to tight at the bottom for my liking.

Need to see the goal again but first thought was Wilson left the guy to have a free cross. We have been pressing further up the pitch which has kept a lot of pressure off the defence - why SK didn’t do that us still beyond me. Still not getting the break of the ball and not making many chances. Surprised Campbell hasn’t been booked.

Totally agree with you and it’s not always SOD, every player has cocked up simple passes, taken to many touches, tried little flick that were never on, not looked up before passing or humping the ball up the park, been caught wrong sided, failed to track back and many other mistakes - all very annoying to watch but sadly it’s the level of player we can afford at the moment.

Interesting article once I’d managed to get it translated, seems that we did approach him if the translation is correct.

To be fair the Scum was posting different names throughout the night. Nobody had a clue but just threw out crap to get clicks.

In all seriousness like most fans I’m quite excited by this for reasons I can’t explain, never heard of the guy so like most of our choices it’s a shot in the dark as far as I’m concerned but I wonder if the chairman has spoken to friends and others in Germany with a better understanding of football about him which leads to another thought, did the guy apply for the job or did we approach him after speaking with someone who recommended him?

Will you please stop using actual facts on this forum? The only facts allowed are ones made up either when drunk/stoned or on the spur of the moment to back up some outlandish claim.

Aye, I’m impressed how such an apparently wee club ran by amateur committee’s, a novice chairman with no football experience and clueless officials top to bottom managed to keep such a secret never mind find a potentially exciting appointment. Maybe their not as bad as some folk think edit: not aimed at you weeyin

Too many points still up for grabs, yes we’ve been playing badly but others could also falter before the season ends.

69.1% possession, 100% clueless. seem unable or unwilling to break through a defence, kept trying something - but I’m still not sure what it was - current top of the list is they were trying to piss me off, which they succeeded The “joys” of watching Motherwell

Don’t think he didn’t like running just couldn’t run, even when he tried he seemed to be going backwards - was a real pity the guy has talent.

Within that time we’ve also had players who have left us for “bigger” clubs - with a varying degree of success- before making their first team debut. Which, although it doesn’t help the first team, it does make our academy a more attractive option for youngsters and their parents, with a potential of future development fees if they progress and are sold on.

Strange game today, to still be in the game 2-1 down at 90 minutes hoping for just 1 chance, a bit of magic or luck or anything to get a draw was more than I expected and very welcoming but it still wasn’t a great performance so their 3rd goal didn’t leave me pissed off more meh, there you go. There were some good things about our performance that has me positive about the rest of the season but by feck the defence needs to get better at tracking players rather than passing them on to another player and moving away to cover another area.

Was between Armstrong and Sparrow for me, Armstrong edged it with the goal.

Listen, he will say this only once…or twice….or maybe even a third time - copy, paste, repeat

Weekly SK has held interviews with the club media and the press where he’s talked about many things but this week he’s been very quiet. I do think it would be helpful to hear from him but that doesn’t seem likely at the moment. Possibly he’s just getting his head around what’s happened, needs time to process things, has a bout of depression or is just sitting back watching it all with a smile on his face. We don’t know and hopefully it’s not depression that he’s suffering from.

Sadly, if you look at most teams in the SPLF, a few of their first team regulars - and possibly better players - are loan players due to the fact they’re cheaper options because their parent club pays a fair chunk of their wages. We’re not alone in using loan players but appear to get those that either don’t suit our style, aren’t ready for 1st team football, don’t have an interest in being here or just aren’t good enough.

Heard it’s apparently happening, if only we had the cash for him or another similar.

Tbh a 4-2 defeat to them on Sunday would probably flatter us.

If family members hearing some abuse that their partner/parent gets when their decisions/indecision cause distress to people who give a fuck about what’s happening is what it takes for a manager to resign, I hope some of my managers bring their family to work and let them mingle with some of the folk I work with.
