No point trying to tell me otherwise…. I read what you wrote. You would have made the same amount of back four changes as McGlynn did. FWIW I would have played Yeats too. The reality McGlynn had to make two changes in the back four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to stop changing managers every season and try and get some consistency. Please stop posting sensibly. Some fellow fans don't like sensible and prefer to massively overreact 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No manager is going to win 100 per cent of their matches. Constantly changing managers doesn't make us attractive to work for to other managers. McGlynn is probably the best we're going to get in L1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamson played well in the monsoon up at Tannadice on Tuesday. He set up a couple of chances in the first half and didn't do anything calamitous at the back, so personally I didn't see his return as a risk. Outwith the fact that he might not have been fit enough to last the full 90 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality McGlynn had to make two changes in the back four. And you point is what?It’s about risk mitigation. It’s not possible to make one change it’s about how much additional risk you put in place trying to do it. Reduce instability as much as possible.Oh, and I MIGHT have started Donaldson and brought him off if we were in control. Depends how unfit he actually was…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is you calling McGlynn out when the reality is he only really had two choices. MCKay had to go to CH so it was between Yeats and Williamson. As BB explained I can now see why WIlliamson played. One thing is for sure McGlynn would have been in a much better place than you or anyone else to whether Donaldson started or not. I am sure had he been up to it he would have started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Time for Alegria to get a start imo, he’s done well after coming on the last few games. Agreed. He did well when he came on. Burrell has been off it a wee bit. Alegrias turn now. Eta or both obvs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 McGlynn is a far better manager than Sheerin, Rennie, McKinnon and Hartley. He has built a far better side than we have had for a good few years with better players. Even if we don’t go up I would keep him and let him and Smith empty the rest of the dross and get his own players in. We are playing better football at times this season that we have got near in the past 3/4. If we just keep changing managers we will get nowhere. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minute we brought on Alegria the ball started to stick up top and Duffy then went to a third CH to stop the flow. Alegria was superb when he came on.

Would still fancy McGlynn to get more out of even a part-time Bairns squad than anyone else.

Guest Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Just weird that what we thought was the most improved part of the side (the defence) is now arguably the worst. Don’t know if it’s so many changes, but we look capable of throwing away games really cheaply. The midfield isn’t great other than when Yeats and McGinn are really on it. We know we are creating a fair amount of chances and blowing most of them, and away from home, that is going to cost us dearly as long as the defence keeps on conceding lousy goals.

I think Burrell would be more effective, as would the team as a whole, if we went two up front. I would have a midfield four of McGinn, Heatherington (yes really), Lewall and one of the wee sand dancers, probably Morrison or Kennedy. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is the difference between playing with and without him in the side is immense.However, today, it didn’t help that McGinn was completely off his game and that left the centre pairing especially exposed…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view, the best of a bad bunch over the last few years have been Miller and McCracken. Let’s hope Mcglynn can improve on that not very high bar. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
