dosser1886 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Would be interested to see what the difference would be if we played an entire youth team, can guarantee there would be a better attitude on and off the pitch if that's what baracough seems to think is the problem.... Think that you can pretty much guarantee under the new boss that he will give the young guys a go if the current players keep performing in the way that they have been.

He has already shown more in a couple of weeks than any before him since Gannon sadly a fair percentage of the boys take the lead from some senior players and consider partying until the early hours the night before a game, to be acceptable, a culture change is needed, it cannot happen in 12-14 weeks however so this season will just need to be about filtering out the half arsed types and convincing the others that they have a future playing football most weeks. Bara, gave them Christmas morning off training according to Hammell, not exactly paid back by the players, difficult one for him to deal with , he cannot do a Butcher at Hibs and tell them they are all finished as he needs ssome of them onside, guess that means we need patience to put up with some, that have been an embarassment to the title 'Professional Footballer' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone old enough will remember a certain ex manager saying exactly the same thing and dropping an almost entire first team in favour of the younger players. We suffered record defeats and got relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We suffered record defeats and got relegated. The last time I can remember seeing Motherwell being as bad as they were yesterday was the Roger Hynd/Ally McCleod period. I only hope history doesn't repeat itself and we can get enough results against the fellow strugglers to save our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100percentsteel Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just shows you how opinions can differ. Sutton would be one of the first I would show the door to. Can't believe just how slow this guy is and it works to the oppostions advantage every week. When does he ever chase and shut a defender down? Our defenders get closed down week in week out and panic. Opposition defenders have all the time in the world to pick their pass because Sutton doesn't have the legs to shut anyone down. If Bara wants to play the pressing game he has spoken about surely Sutton will not fit into his plans. Yes he had a good scoring record last year but last year has gone now and this season he has been rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use it. If so, just reeks of lamentable behaviour and does nothing when giving a number of this mob the benefit of the doubt. With respect to Baraclough, in 18 months he'll have all the legacy contracts he inherited up. I agree, I think if we are going to be sensible then we have to look at giving him 2 years from now to sort things out and mould it in his way.

Kmcalpin Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 With respect to Baraclough, in 18 months he'll have all the legacy contracts he inherited up. I agree, I think if we are going to be sensible then we have to look at giving him 2 years from now to sort things out and mould it in his way. Pretty much agree. I think he'll need about 21/2 - 3 years though. In 18 months time he'll probably have "his" team pretty much in place but they may need time to gel. In the meantime he'll have to use players he would not have signed himself. As far as young players are concerned, he'll have to bring on players other managers brought in, but our record for those signed in the past decade is not great. With one possible exception those breaking into the first team just now don't seem to be anything special although it can be hard to tell at that stage.

True, but we kept the ball well and had more possession. Thistle first half we did that again but had more incisive passes. Second half and then the accies game we did neither.

Rickoza Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Apparently we missed out on this one..... Ross County start latest rebuild by snapping up striker Written byPaul Chalk Ross County boss Jim McIntyre has signed striker Craig Curran on a short-term deal.ROSS County manager Jim McIntyre has, as promised, wasted no time in bolstering his squad with the signing of English striker Craig Curran. The Scottish Premiership's basement side, who lost the New Year derby at home to Inverness CT 3-1, need to find form quickly to get in front of rivals St Mirren and Motherwell. Curran recently left Conference Premier side Nuneaton and has been on trial in Dingwall. The former Tranmere, Carlisle and Rochdale forward's work-rate is one of the main reasons McIntyre has handed him a short-term contract. Full-back Jamie Reckord and young gun Tony Dingwall signed new deals over the festive period, with midfielder Martin Woods and defender Paul Quinn expected to follow suit. The Staggies boss is demanding a better effort and level of performance from his side and vowed on Thursday to bring in more quality, with Curran being the first through the Victoria Park doors. This looks certain to be the third successive transfer shake-up at Ross County after previous boss Derek Adams brought in a number of players in the summer then McIntyre added Quinn, Reckord, Woods, Lewis Toshney and Terry Dunfield. A lack of consistency though means they must get better to avoid being isolated. Ahead of their trip to eighth-placed but toiling Dundee on Sunday, County are one point below managerless St Mirren and seven behind Motherwell, so a second win of the season against Dundee would give everyone at the club a lift ahead of their match next weekend against Partick Thistle. Dundee have now gone seven games without a victory and need to sharp reaction following their stunning 6-2 New Year's Day battering by Dundee United.

Here we go again... My post was a reply to the question being asked 'which game?'. Without the need to be superior - quip made referring to the conjecture referred to the previous day's match. No claims from me that anything untoward has gone on you'll see, but, batter in if it suits your obvious seethe at not being in the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
