rough diamond Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Since taking over as Airdrie Manager from Kevin McBride who'd won 3 of his last 4 games when he was sacked, these are their league head to head stats this season: - McBride P11 - W5 - D2 - L4 - GF19 - GA18 - GD+1 - Points 17 from 33 Wilson P17 - W7 - D1 - L9 - GF27 - GA37 - GD-10 - Points 22 from 51 Interestingly Wilson won his first 3 games in charge and we scored 5 and lost 2 goals, the 3rd of those games Fitzpatrick was injured and has been since and we've won on 4 games taking 13 points from 42 and losing 35 goals while scoring only 22. More worryingly as a full time team, these are the stats from our last 11 games to compare to our first 11 under McBride: - P11 - W3 - D1 - L7 - GF18 - GA26 - GD-8, Points 10 from 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have the highest goals against in the League and I am trying to think of a season when it was as bad even under JImmy Boyle. Can't be bothered just now lookin at the archives but a "management review" must already know these details. Maybe Fitzpatrick was much better than many posters thought in terms of defensive shape? We rarely play any ground football under MW but last nights possession stats gave us 59%, most of which was meaningless. Even ryan got himself booked for a frustrated chasing back tackle last night because he had so little support and balls at headheight to chase. If we get an offer for him he will be keen to go!

Chapelhall chap Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Checked the archives and at the end of the season our highest conceding of goals was 89 under Jimmy Boyle in that "promoted" to Div 1 season but relegated in 2012-13. In the 'lower" division of the League we are in just now it maxed at 60 on 2 occasions, but tended to average mid 40s. The best season was when we managed 34 in 2007-8 but lost out in play offs to Clyde. With 8 games to go I suspect we will be in the mid 60s. Desperately hope we score enough to stay up mind you.

He'll end up at us to replace Buchanan end of season I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Doubt he'll be going anywhere, mainly because the clubs who will be interested in him - lower/middle Championship clubs - are unlikely to be able/willing to pay any transfer fee. Plus his worth to us in possibly getting promoted next year would be more than the meagre transfer fee that we would get anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't signed for next season yet so don't know. Maybe he wants to test the waters and see who is interested. Would easily still score 15+ goals in the Championship, surprised the likes of QoS or Raith haven't come in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's under contract for another season and you boys are skint as ever. So probably not going to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Obviously Carrick is the easiest option to replace Buchanan but I honestly wouldn't be bothered to see Mullen go. Keep Todorov if possible, Carrick too and pick up Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Todorov if possible, Carrick too and pick up Ryan. Mullen has just signed a contract extension for next season, would be happy to keep Buchanan and Carrick and add a target man too so we have 4 strikers for next season, Toderov isn't one I'd want to keep.
