When a manager who's only concerned with results stops getting results, it's time to go. That’s just it he doesn’t appear to have a plan, either long term or short term. At least if we could see what he was trying to do but it just wasn’t coming off he might look as though he did, but there is nothing. His team selections and use of subs are mind boggling. We have players like Slattery who can’t get a look in for whatever reason. We brought in Tierney in January and Shaw on loan from Celtic and both have hardly featured. What’s going on there?? And when it’s not working he waits until about 70 mins before making any changes most weeks. I don’t know what, if anything, the manager is trying to achieve but whatever it is it clearly is not working and some of the players are looking increasingly more frustrated week to week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This for me is a big part of the issue. He's happy with the play, as long as we work hard and somehow magically score more goals he's happy. At least Robinson and others admitted when things were poor, albeit he ran out of ideas too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree .At our best we press well but overall it’s dross. it’s as bad as it was under Robinson’s last 12 months . why we don’t play some of our better players befuddles me - have they all pissed GA off ?

In theory Efford is the replacement - he can play anywhere in the front 3. Sadly he's rank rotten and offers very little. Not hugely different to some of the other piss poor signings. Even more frustrating is Watt seemed happy and settled back in Lanarkshire. He left around the same time GA signed an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Watt wanted to leave and worked with Utd to force our hand. It's pretty clear all that didn't go public without Watt's involvement, and with his history, anyone thinking he would have got over it after a couple of games is kidding themselves. Also, when you start making exceptions to your wage structure, it's a slippery slope. The club did the right thing in this regard.One player wasn't the reason we were 4th at the end of last year, and isn't the reason we're in freefall now. I'm more concerned that we can't keep a consistent lineup together, and aren't maximizing the minutes of our best players. We've stuck by some poor performers, whilst others have a short leash for some reason. This erratic decision making is killing us and is 100% on the manager, who seems to be more focused on making a point than doing his job.Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Whenever we have had good seasons in the past it’s because we had a settled team and played the same team constantly week after week . Now it’s just a raffle to see who plays each week , then short straws to see what position they play in , except the goalie. This “can play in a few positions “ really is shite.

Id punt both of them the first chance we get to move them on. I also dont subscribe to the notion we had a better squad than our results infer. We have dross all over that Squad - Roberts, Carrol, McGinley, Shields to name a few. Edited March 20, 2022 by I'll*no*be*back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'm not saying that our players are world beaters but a good start would be to pick a formation that utilises the strengths of our best starting eleven, whatever that may be. The current formation(s) only highlight our squad's limitations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZT_1886 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I don’t understand why we go with the 5-2-3. If he doesn’t trust the defence (who can blame him) then why sacrifice a body in the midfield when you’ve got 3 players up top getting very poor (if any) service.
