  1. Potter, AJ, Crawford. Who else can realistically be blamed for these continued failures? Not to mention AJ and Crawford have been dragged on for months longer than any competent employer would allow. 
     

    *edit 

    They did recognise themselves they needed help on the football front if I remember rightly I think that’s what McNamara was brought in for but unfortunately he fell ill. Something needs changed though clearly as it’s not working. I’m 100% aware of all they have done on the commercial side for the club but  the football has to come first which be honest has been abysmal for all but really one season under AJ (two at a stretch). It’s hardly a meltdown just an honest opinion of our recent history. 

  2. That’s me out until this board are away. Truly remarkable they can stand by the diddy after that. Get the feeling if there were fans in right now they’d be rolling out the chat about mental health etc again. Doesn’t wash anymore, f**k them. 
     

    Just to clarify I’m not belittling mental health but I’m certainly never going to advocate it as an excuse to be pish at football/managing for four months straight.

    Talk of stream rolling anybody is OF levels of arrogance.  

    Don’t give two shits how it sounds they are our local rivals and I’d much rather go there with that mindset than Crawford meekly suggesting we will give them a run for their money. I’m sick fed up of tuning into games to see us roll over and accept 0-0s.

    Unless you are Stevie Crawford and John McGlynn is impossible to know how the 2 wage bills compare. 

    I would agree that on paper we have a better squad but McGlynn can utilise his squad to perform better as a unit than they are individually and he does this better than Crawford who does this poorly

    We are signing sought after guys on two/three year deals. It doesn’t take much working out to say we are spending more than Rovers are, not to mention the German money and Nisbet cash. The point about McGlynn utilising his squad better is irrelevant as the point I am making is we should be doing far better than ‘giving them a game’ considering who we have signed.

    Maybe not actually being at the games leaves me a bit detached but I’d rather Craw was judged at the end of the season.

    I’d have went along with this narrative if we had had small blips along the way like most other teams with sporadic wins and loses culminating in an average season. As it is we have not and have had a massive consistent run of absolute dogshit performances and points tally since last November. Get him out immediately if we are serious about even making top four.

  6. How many people who are East End/game regulars can honestly they would watch on Wednesday if it wasn’t on telly and they had to stream it? The board have been sleepwalking and we just can’t afford to lose our only income stream this season. Ffs BOD grow a fucking spine for once in your tenure and stop this stagnation!

    Yes I am fucking fuming that we’ve not kicked a ball since November and f**k all has been done about Crawford. This is 100% worse than AJ days.

  7. Said it months ago and the point still stands, how can we have a team with Thomas, Dow, McManus, O’Hara, Murray and now Banks and Wighton but never look like scoring? Has to be down to Crawford.

    Also now more than ever with not actually going to matches and people having to piss about with streams this boring play is making it so easy for fans just to not bother and that’s our only income stream just now so if the board sleep walk us into another stagnation it could have massive consequences. I personally think he needs binned now before it reaches that point and tarnishes his history with the club which would be a real shame. 

  8. I guess the board have to weigh up the situation in terms of Crawford meeting their targets (whether down to us doing well or other teams doing garbage is irrelevant for this) over more and more fans not being arsed to get the streams which is happening. With the whole covid situation I guess it’s easier to keep limping along with him as the streams won’t be bringing in anywhere near what gate money would and fans disapproval over the stagnant displays won’t be felt either vocally or in the pocket as badly. Not that I feel that’s a valid reason to keep him on but going by past experiences with this board I would imagine they will view it like this, they don’t tend to act until the inevitable damage to the season has already been done.

    Lovely to see AJ get a win against his old employers. For all their criticism of Johnston I can’t honestly say that they look any better under Crawford.

    This is the most credible comment I’ve read regarding Crawford. He was brought in to improve us and honestly I don’t think he has. Recently we’ve been as bad as the shocking run that got AJ chucked. He needs to go before his legacy with the club as a player gets forgotten about and the fans begin to turn in a more vocal way.
