Shadwell Dog Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 That was the big worry all along that Rennie wouldn't have the status or contacts over here to be able to encourage the players we need to sign . Contacts and relationships with clubs and players in Scottish football is crucial these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hangover from several years of shambolic incompetence at the club more than the fault of Rennie surely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKinnon's first season down here being an obvious argument against your method. One of the main complaints that season being that it was a squad of individuals as opposed to a team. It's all about time surely anyway. If you come in pre season with 3 or 4 months of recruitment and pre season time in front of you then by all means you can try and create a squad to fit the way you want to play. However, if you come in half way through a season at a time where points are at a premium you have to piss with the cock you've got. Play the formation that most suits why you've got and then add players in that suit that formation. You can then twerk it whatever way you want in the close season . To me we were playing 3 5 2 no matter who we had playing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Looking at our stats for our horrendous 20/21 Season. Won 40%. Draw 24% Loss 36% Martin Rennie’s stats are Won 33% Draw 22% Loss 45% The entirety of this season (Sheerin and Rennie combined) Won 35% Draw 23% Loss 42% I guess all it says in general terms is that absolutely nothing has improved in terms of the things that truly matter, and the Alloa result was most definitely yet another false dawn. I really have no idea where we go from here. The management team are saying that how we are set up is the only way this group of players can be deployed. That is troubling. I think it’s pretty obvious that what we are seeing has nothing to do with a rebuild for next season. If we do scrape our way into the play offs, it’s hard to see the 9th placed Championship side doing anything other than brushing us aside……(and sitting in 5th spot aiming for 4th spot looks no more likely than Clyde sitting in 6th spot aiming for 5th). 15 minutes ago, Shadwell Dog said: It's all about time surely anyway.

Taxi for De Massis Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I defended our new coach but hearing the following gems in the post-match interview has me concerned: "I felt that we were too direct" - we're drawing 1-1 with Peterhead, we need to be hitting them with everything we've got and last night's stats (6 chances in the first half, 2 in the second) was anything but direct "You can't always judge the game by the scoreline" - if it was a 1-0 victory to Falkirk, with Robbie Mutch making more stops than an NHL goalie, it would have been a concern, but we would have at least got the win, and the points and that little bit closer to the play-offs. We're now relying on Queen's Park to capitulate If we get this midfield we're hoping for, then there might be a turnaround, but I fear we will be hearing praised heaped on the unworthy when we somehow scrape a 0-0 draw with Clyde. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea and Busquets Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The problem isn’t hiring and firing managers willy nilly, it’s the consistent hiring of the wrong manager that’s the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) I see QP play their game in hand next week against Peterhead. Part of me wants QP to win this as being honest we have zero chance of going up with this squad and I don’t want us getting dragged into the playoffs at the other end as I’m not convinced this mob would get us out of it.

Numbers_One_To_Eleven Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Since the start of 2021, our record against top 4 teams in the league reads as (top 4 in 20/21 final standings). P19 W2 D5 L12 I could go into For and Against stats but I’ll just leave it there.

MetalWolf Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I don't understand our management, they moan that a lot of our issues are down to always chopping and changing the team, yet he makes 6 changes (not changes for the better). You can't have it both ways. I also don't understand why he says he can't change formation because of the personnel we have? We are shoe horning players into the 5 MIA 2 that we play already, we should have a minimum of 2 players that can play as wingers because well... we did for the first 1/3 of the season. Hell I think even actually playing 3-5-2 would be an improvement, get them to not track back so far and let the 3 at the back deal with the issues, we are leaking goals at times anyway and having more in the middle might finally mean we start scoring some! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moanthebairns Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I can't really add much from what I said after the Cove game or from what has already been said on here since last night. But two things I want to know is just what the f**k is going through his head persisting with his current formation/tactics, surely he must see how bad it is and is he away yet? Please no more Champman w**k stain mangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick_- Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 having listened to that mess of an interview last night and seeing both the Cove and Peterhead game, I’m fairly willing to write off Rennie already. He mentions that we need to protect ourselves defensively better when we are attacking for a winner, at home, against Peterhead? f**k me show some ambition. I know it’s not as simple as we wish it was, however, we should not be having to worry about keeping the back door shut against the bottom side at home, let alone being pummelled by them. in my view our season is now totally finished and it’s another manager I can’t wait to see the back of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
