I'm not sure what will happen if it looks like we can't mind you. I dont think there will be many excuses left by then either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Don't you have any concerns Albert? I'm just dreading Ray saying "we are due to give someone a hiding". No. My only concern would be spending more money sacking someone to go through the same pointless process again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that concern, I really can; but the corollary to that is continuing with someone when it has become apparent that they are not up to the job. I'm not suggesting that we're there yet but I don't want to get to the point of no return as we did with McNamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reading this with interest and am somewhat surprised. This was one of McKinnons biggest strengths when managing the Rovers, making subs and tactical changes when things weren't going well and more often than not they worked.

I remember thinking when McKinnon took over that his biggest hurdle would be that the United chairman seems to resent being the United chairman. That attitude must trickle down. Just look at the number of previously decent managers who have failed miserably. Brechin used to play us off the park in the seaside league.

The St Mirren game was a classic example. Even without having a big striker in the squad, we should have brought on N'Koyi for Flood at half time, dropped Stanton further back and played a 4-4-2. It may have allowed us to get at St Mirren in the way our starting formation wasn't. I wasn't at the game so couldn't comment as to what was needed, but of course flexibility is needed. Sticking two up top may have helped, it may have hindered. My point was merely that people seem to have a pathological obsession with the 442 formation, when there are often far more important factors to consider when attempting to win a football game.

Dirty Arab 83 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I was at Paisley, United were not at the races 2nd to every ball, gaffer left it to late to make changes......Flood looked like he had just joined the club that morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well all the scouts that live on United's Twitter and Facebook feeds seem to think that he is rubbish. They have thoroughly scouted him after trying to find his Wikipedia page and by using the formula of "well I've never heard of him so he must be shite".
