Wet Wullie Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Interesting that his lack of rapport with the fans is being mentioned. A manager with a good relationship with fans will always get more time to get things right.I appreciate that it's a high pressure position but I don't understand manager's who don't get this. Is it too much to ask to give a wee wave, fist pump or just something to generate a positive response from the fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonytoons Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It's only 3 points. I just don't get this Bollan love-in. Did he keep us up. NO. Did we win the League. NO. Do we look like a side that will stay up. NO. Have you ever at any time since he came to the Club, heard or read ,Gary say how privileged he felt to be the Manager of Forfar. Have you ever,either home or away ,see him acknowledge the fans in any way,even those last season who made the trip to England-shire? As for waiting for the team to gel I thought that was what pre-season friendlys were for. BOLLAN OUT. (IMO) Did he get us back up? YesWas the football, in general, better to watch than DC's? YesDo we look like a side that will stay up? Impossible to tell at the moment. Only 2 home games into the season and had 2 away games to the league favourites that are now out of the way.No love in from me tbh, I didn't want him to get the job but I don't want us to be losing games so we can get rid of him either.Is his jaicket on a shoogly peg? Almost certainly. But wanting us to lose to get him the punt is rather embarrassing. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I'd go with Hutton Little, O Brien, Hamilton Kader Whatley Yule Denholm Swankie Hester Linn 3 at the back would give more security as we looked more wide open than an Arbroath Road prostitutes fanny. Have Whatley and Yule sit in front of them then let Kader and Denholm cover the wings. Swankie down the middle offers nothing, give him a bit of room out wide.

victormeldrew Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Looking back on the FAFC site on 21:12:15 the Board were "delighted" to announce the appointment of G.B. as Manager. No mention of length of contract. How long did we give this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerafc Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 We need to get Pongo back in the team really missing his goals and creativity. I would like to see Gomes return too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 3 at the back idea, think Hammy has struggled at fullback, but Gold has to start, didn't deserve to be dropped a few weeks ago either, and McCord needs to play, Gomes Little. Tob. Hammy. Kader. Yule McCord Gold. Linn. Hester. Denholm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Think you'd be asking too much of the wing backs to play 3 at the back unless you have 5 in midfield then Whatley/Yule could possibly help out the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 McCord for Yule would be my choice. We can't be as bad defensively as we were on Saturday. Nightmare stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee_62 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 He was only less rubbish the last game. Definitely more rubbish the 2 games before. Said it the other week after Albion...Roddy is either brilliant or a bombscare. Incredible (if unorthodox) tackle in the first half on Saturday followed, in the second half, by an attempt to jump up and control the ball on his thighs...only for it to somehow nutmeg him. Loved the GB shout in the second half...heard clear across the ground. "Roddy...f**kin' clear the f**kin' ball!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
