McGuigan1978 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The fact we turn up at Methil and expect to lose, kind of shows where we are just now. I gave McGlynn the benefit of the doubt after Stranraer, because it looked like we were the better team for the majority of the game, but not today. We probably edged the first half, but we were absolutely rudderless for the second period, and thoroughly deserved to lose. I know we laughed at Dunfermline for finishing seventh in this league, but for a (largely) full time team to get bullied in this league is an absolute shambles. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its certainly not mindless its been said plenty times before no other manager would get away with this shocking away record. Mindless in the fact that he should be sacked. Not after 5 matches and top of the league. Defence and away record though is tough to digest I agree. But what’s the options here realistically? Change the defence, bring in McKay? We sack McGlynn? Who could we realisations attract? How would they sort out a defence with no resources? The players need to step up to the plate. There’s only so much defensive training you can do, but if the players go out there and just fanny about then not really much John (or any manager could do for that matter) but as we know it’s the manager that gets the bullet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levenmouth Rover Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Seven goals lost in last two away league games not counting all those lost in the league cup and Mcglynn persists in playing the same defenders every week. Some people might not like this but for me McGurn and Benedictus are well past their sell by date. Davie was going downhill when he left us previously and Bene has not been the same player since the leg break. We can’t continue to require the scoring of three and four goals to win games particularly away from home. One has to question what we do in terms of defensive preparations from a Monday to a Friday as whatever it is it needs changing. With Falkirk’s early season form we’ve had a great chance to build a good lead and have blown that chance at Stranraer and Methil. I await with interest Mcglynns interview tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is how do you know they are getting the defensive training they require? Back in the day players like Campbell and Andrew's were already accomplished defender's. Mcglynn has had almost a year to sort things out and we are still struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure of the stats but with the amount of first team games both Davo and Benedictus have played both for us and Dundee I’d like to think they were accomplished to a degree. Of course not in the same bracket as Campbell and Big Marv, but still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGurn made a good stop near the end but if we had a better defence I would be inclined to give Munro a run. It would probably be unfair to do it now with that shambles in front of him.He won't do it but we need to give McKay and Davidson a run of games together to see how they get on. It sure as hell can't be any worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the end of the season I would suggest. Still 31 games to play. Play-off is the aim, but not necessarily guaranteed like in previous seasons. I’d like to think we would at the very least finish in one of those spots. If we then weren’t to go up, then I think a new direction would be needed. I think that’s pretty fair enough. On the defence after taking in that first league game today, I would suggest we drop either Bene or Davo. Not sure I would drop both though. Hard decision for John as Bene is club captain but he would be my choice to be benched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Unless u draw....If they draw, East Fife will be top of League One. Hope it happens. Hope they get their bit of glory that they deserve. I mean it won’t last, but it gives them a chance to take a screenshot of the league table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the play offs are the minimum but if the away form continues something has to be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
