mio Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Just saw the clip of him arriving and meeting the staff and team. Fair play to Frail who stayed and conducted all the introductions. He didn’t have to do that considering he resigned today. A Top guy who deserves a bit of credit, good luck wherever he ends up, he’s conducted himself impeccably after being dumped on by SK. looking forward to see how the manager does, it’s a bit of a risky one but at least at the moment we have all the fans behind him instead of a % of us not wanting him due to a potential old firm bias or us having a football dinosaur or journeyman in charge of us.

Whatever full back pushes on is covered by the remaining 4 defenders who just slide across giving you security. Regardless, Sparrow and Thompson both have good engines on them. Their insteuctions just need to be clearer. We do need to get the ball played wide much quicker though. Small tactical and positional tweaks can make a huge difference. As does confidence.......

fizoxy Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Yep, classy from Frail. Shame he got caught up in the whole SK thing. He mentioned that he didn't want to get back into coaching until we reached out, so wonder what he will do next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wispy Flossy Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Risky appointment but everyone comes with a unmitigated level of risk in our predicament.

Lobey_Dosser Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 I understand the sense of optimism attached to a completely fresh approach that a foreign management team suggests. However, the level of risk taken with this appointment in our current predicament surprises me. Personally, I’d have been more comfortable appointing someone of Wimmer’s profile in the summer or had we 4-6 more points on the board. As it stands though, we’re in relegation form with one of the most bloated squads around which will bring many challenges to someone that has limited experience of man-management, whilst being new to Scottish/British dressing room culture. I sense we’ll quickly work out whether the risks taken by our new Chairman and Board were well measured. My heart will sink a little if he quickly tells us we don’t have the players to play his high intensity pressing style (the style that all managers promise….). That aside, good luck to Wimmer. Hopefully my gut instinct is a mile out and we are genuinely going to have fun. Finally, fair play to Frail. He’s handled things in a very dignified manner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 People talk about a bloated squad as if we had 30 fit players to choose from every week. In reality we've been struggling to fill the bench many weeks, and have to start whoever can walk over who's best. Plenty will be moving on in the summer, but we needed the head count to get us through the worst of the injury problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the known injuries, none of Blaney, Koutroumbis, Dickson, Moses or Tavares made the squad of 20 on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
