Bairnardo Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I think that's fine when you've got a cracking squad of players but when you've got a bunch of Muppets that need encouraged and pushed every minute of the game it would seem it's not really an option.I think its a bit more than that. Caleys players clearly were invested in winning those leagues. We haven't somehow assembled a squad of players who can only be motivated in a specific way. We have assbled a squad of players who for one reason or another, or several, know that they will not be here for long and do not feel it neccessary to run, tackle or generally fight for results. I cant explain why that keeps happening, but they will all go on to function perfectly well at a variety of levels including the one we are at. We know this because it keeps happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches get their by any number of different ideas and techniques. The only “don’t do that” is holding an umbrella. Bielsa however sits on his bucket but then gets up gives his orders and sits back down again he certainly doesn't start the game on the sideline and then vanish into the dugout as soon as the team starts getting pumped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was so sad for Steve Paterson he had a great chance to be a top manager as his player selection, team set up and motivation indicated he had the potential. Personal demons and pressures we dont know about were in the background. Your comment is in bad taste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it keep happening though? How many players we've released in recent years have gone on to bigger and better things. Alston has obviously done ok but then he's playing with far better players at Killie and not shite like Gary miller. Longridge and Doyle are doing ok at cove but then they did ok for our team of two years ago which was probably of a similar standard to that of cove this season. Leitch has struggled for game time.Will be interesting to see how the three of them get on in the champ next season. Good chance Josh Todd will be back in league one next season, sammon and Durnan are struggling for alloa, Buchanan and McLean are stinking the place out at Dumbarton . Theres not that many that you'd desperately want back due to the form they've shown after we let them go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met the guy in a famous city centre bar quite some time ago, absolute gentleman and sad how it panned out. Yet to hear a bad word about him from anyone up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complacent? Imagine having the fucking red neck to say that after you have had the piss taken out of you for 12 years. You will have dropped your draws season after season for the MSG yet come out with this garbage after they have been in the door five minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogi, Houstie and Jeffries. You need a manager willing to go through players when they need it. And one that knows not to go through players when they don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to bark louder on a Saturday lads and all will be well. How on earth mannerisms in a dugout would be any indication to a person's coaching techniques, is anyone's guess. Will read again though for sure. Mental stuff. Rennie actually explained at the meeting on Monday that he sometimes likes to take a step back so that he can assess things more calmly. I'm sure he also said that refs don't like more than one person in the technical area (maybe it's a rule?) and that Miller's usually jumping around out there most of the time. No point trying to explain that to Shadwell though so I didn't bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) The guys on the board are working their arses off to fix the mess left by the previous incumbents. There is going to be mistakes made but at least these guys have the club as number one priority and not their own CV. In my opinion Rennie has been the wrong appointment and I'm concerned that they are going to stick with him next season yes and the effects that will have on finances as well as the football. These guys have put their money where their mouth is though and like any other bod they will live or die by results on the park we just need to hope they get the decisions right. Just if we'd seen a few shoots of improvement this last few months it would've made things easier.

Whatever he's doing its by his own acknowledgment not bloody working so he needs to try something else. At the end of the day whether he shouts at them or takes them out for dinner just get them trying a bit for god's sake.

I didn't say it was working out, did I? I'm simply relaying what the man said when he was asked the question. I'm not sure if you're pished or not but you seem to be making even less sense that usual. When did Longridge and Doyle sign for Cove? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are struggling at queen's park so not doing any better than they were with us which was my main point. Sounds like he got far too easy a time of it .
