Oh well continue our poor run of televised fixtures 1 hour ago, DAFC. said: Imagine my surprise at Crawford, a somewhat rookie manager, with a terrible win percentage at lower league dross in East Fife, combined with Jackie Fucking McNamara working in the background, making a total mess of a campaign with a club that has a budget that far exceeds the majority in the league How bizarre, Crawford is a poor manager however his work with Jackie Mac (to my own amazement) seems to be the only redeeming feature of his tenure, the players they have brought in are good and are just being poorly managed. As for far exceeds the majority of the league our budget is probably average at best for the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If my memory serves me right, we've never won a Friday night televised game since they were introduced within the last decade. I can recall the pilot Friday night game against Aberdeen at Pittodrie, think we were 4-0 down early on, maybe even HT. We got beat by Airdrie in the season we won the league, coldest night of football I can recall. Humped at home to St.Mirren last season at home on a Friday and then the 2-2 with Dundee on the opening weekend this season. I'm sure there are others. Anyway, point I was trying to make was that it does't bode well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess budgets would go 1 United 2 Dundee 3 Thistle 4 Pars 5 ICT Ayr, Morton and Queens could be any order below that, and then the two part time sides at the bottom. Absolute worst case you’ll have the 5th highest, though, and even if you are currently sitting in that position in the table I don’t think it’s unfair to say that Dunfermline are underperforming based on budgets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right about that then, not winning a Friday night game is very poor indeed. I'll still be there though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I definitely went to a Friday night game at Ayr. Honestly couldn’t tell you the result. Is there anyone who thinks Crawford is even better than AJ? It was the right time for Johnston to leave but he was still a better manager IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There definitely was a Friday game in Ayr where we won 0-1 through Faiss, this was the season we finished 7th in SFL1. Wasn't on the box though. I've been thinking about this a lot since last night. Against part time teams AJ was great, we beat most and quite convincingly as well. The season we won the promotion was so much fun from a fans point of view but when it came to his departure just over a year ago it was absolutely the right time. It's similar to the situation we're in now than how it was last season. AJ had more managerial experience than SC when he joined, and we absolutely played some great football under him, but that was dependent on the opposition. If we look at AJ's last 6 months in charge of us and SC's 12 months so far it's been all very similar. Easy to beat (especially at home), very little fight and no plan B. I know Stevie had those 5 wins on the bounce after taking over but it's all felt very similar going to EEP in the last 18 months, no real identity to the team. Not enough fight on the pitch and nothing in the dugout to change it up when the going gets tough or we concede. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think AJ would do a lot better with the squad now than Crawford. On the other hand I don't think he would have got the correct players signed up. In his last season the squad balance was a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Got 2 weeks before next game to get a few fresh faces in, a keeper and a striker are a must. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Been looking at the fixtures and if we say that QOTS, Alloa, Arbroath, Morton and Partick are relegation rivals then we are playing five games against that lot away from home. We are in deep shit, unless something starts changing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
