I don't see it as 'wanting the manager to fail' but more about how we seem to be going backwards. Our strengths last years stemmed from a back four who could play the ball comfortably with cool heads and a defensive midfield that had the movement and energy to create space for the back four to play out through the press. We should still have the players to do that but we pass sideways, progressing backwards until someone eventually launches it. The more attacking midfielders bunched in with the defensive mids when out of possession to hunt the ball down, often breaking down attacks before they even happened. A lot of what we did last year was pretty simple but just done well. This year, the longer it goes on and the more time we have in training the worse it gets. We were a disorganised mess today, following on from some pretty inept performances against Stenny, Aberdeen and Dundee. I think people are worried (and surprised) about the speed we're going backwards at. If you look like you've got a system and it doesn't work out sometimes, that's one thing, but when you look like no one knows what they're doing, that's a major concern.

And insisting in interview that his starting line up was correct !!

I was starting to find some sympathy/agreement with your views today......but that's just fucked it 🤣

Pretty much saved me a post there mate. Thanks 🙂 Sparrow and his constant turning back has been a major factor in us not being able to get forward. Before the team was announced I'd have expected SOD to replace Sparrow and Knight-Lebel to replace Girdwood Reich. Vogt starting was just a joke. The attacking up the right all the time with one player who is neither a RB or an attacking midfielder and one player who isn't even a player was a tragic piece of management. Not using Longelo the way he should be is criminal and the defensive midfield not moving like they did last year (off the ball) is worrying. We've also stopped trying to move quickly at free kicks and throw ins. I could go on all day.......looks like The Swedish kettlewell has learned nothing during the break.

Having 11 players on the park seems to have improved things a little.

Six goals conceded in a game and a half. Awful.

I'm not sure what AJ has done since the Dundee Utd game, but we are utter gash. This 'the first thing you think of is to go back the way' is awful. The consensus seemed to be that 'we'd get the ball forward quicker' this season. We don't we go back constantly, especially anything that goes anywhere near Sparrow. Unless we're going to start shooting from midway inside our own half, we're not going anywhere..

Fitba' is fucked.......

This 'Palmer-Holding' thing from the commentator is making me irrationally angry !!

It's a pretty bad day wen MJCs pre match prediction of defeat was wildly optimistic !!!!

Fucking pathetic. A Kettlewell worthy display.

Willy Vogt coming on. I'm switching this off......

FFS.....what the actual fuck ??

Exactly. We're good at getting the ball up to the edge of their box but then the endless tippy tappy passes around until we lose it are ineffective at best.

The ball just went right through Kanga there on it's way to the guy who scored.

What do you think the note to Fadinger said ? Stop fucking around with the ball at the back ?

Palmer Holding again.......can Irons no actually read ???????

Charlie Cook needs replaced

I say this every time we play them but the luck they get from the break of the ball is unreal. And the soft fouls,

Woops.....

Well, not much to complain about there 🙂 A couple of things, but not much, so I won't bother. I wanted Knight-Lebel to score so I could beat Grizzly to 'stand up and sing for Knight-Lebel'......

Mawanhise needs a slap.

An ordinary goal there from levitt.....🤣

Fucking belter !!!!

Before we scored, I liked the way Knight-Lebel was just striding forward into the space rather then passing sideways. Totally took their press apart a couple of times. More of that please. Kanga growing into it really well considering how long he's been here, Lowry and Hodge playing well. It's total domination and we just need the goals to match the way we've been playing.
