AlloaAdam Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 The squad we have is more than good enough to be challenging at the top end of the table, and from what we've seen of the other teams there is absolutely nothing to fear from anyone in this division. All makes it more frustrating that we have a manager who is incapable of getting the best out of the squad and is too arrogant to drop players he signed. All very well saying that players aren't guaranteed to start if they are playing poorly and dropping (and releasing) Parry, Andy and Howie, but when he continues to start Mendy, King and Church his argument goes out the window. His substitutions are even more bizarre, playing with 10 men and needing a goal and he decides to take our 2 quickest players off is just baffling. Taking Taggart off has to be one of the strangest substitutions I've seen in god knows how long. There is still plenty time left in the season, and a decent squad for someone to work with. Can only hope that Barry is away soon to let someone with some tactical knowledge come in and work with the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only hope that Barry is away soon to let someone with some tactical knowledge come in and work with the players. Let's face it. For all he was as a player, and he was good, he is not a gaffer. Got a gig at Clyde, listen to their fans, not good. Gig at Kelty, I could have done that with the cash, big mistake him leaving. They get the man we should have went for! Why have bigger teams never went for him.....easy answer there. Mendy, King, Church!! Graham, Robertson, Williamson. Did he even do due diligence on our squad, nah too arrogant for that. Incidentally before I went to work last night watched the reserves, it's free and does Joyce a turn. Williamson was outstanding. Barry time to go before we do a Brechin, which I predicted we wouldn't quite forcefully at start of season. We may if he remains. First quarter is now a disaster! Increased budget, waste of money. Rant over for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oweny Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Something has just not bee right with us since we lost that late goal at Dumbarton. Two poor performances since albeit hamstrung with stupid spendings offs has left us worrying about a relegation scrap once again. Even with 10 men yesterday we looked lost in that second half and devoid of any fight . The Substitution of Cawley really pissed a lot of folks off also . A further mystery is as to why Robertson has dropped off the starting 11 too as he is a player who has consistently played well for us in multiple positions and never let us down. Surely he would have been better in the middle of the park up against Brown etc yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what went on in the dressing room after the game didn't help, it just looks like moral is very low & I understand why 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in a previous post why have no bigger clubs taken a chance? Reason is those in the know in Scottish football talk, clubs don't want conduct like this, he has to go if this is fact, embarressing!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbigging pen Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Mike Mulraney needs to take a long hard look at the current situation in the dressing room and get to the bottom of the animosity and also Fergusons apparent apathy toward the fans. My point of view is that Ferguson thinks he is untouchable and couldn't give a toss and watching his body language on the touchline week in week out would suggest that. Ive noticed that he has begun to become more vocal during matches however he seems to single out one player for his verbal spewing every game and the last twice it has been Daniel Church that has been getting it stinking ( yes I know some fans dont rate him however he isn't that bad a player and would probably build confidence if he wasn't getting it I the neck from manager for 90 mins) It would be good if there was a meeting between chairman, management and players to deal with issues, wipe slate clean and start again and concentrate on what really matters however not too sure that Ferguson would be willing to drop the attitude due to his apparent arrogance and pig headedness. If things don't get sorted then surely Ferguson and his cronies must walk or be pushed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Not getting involved in the Ferguson shitshow, as I haven't been able to contribute financially this season, but my feelings are still that he'll be at the club for the length of the season, at least. Unless something major happens, I couldn't see Mike Mulraney pulling the trigger until we were actually relegated, and that's probably still unlikely (touch wood). How have crowds been this season? It did occur to me that perhaps the idea was that some of the Wee County Loyal would start coming along to matches with Ferguson in charge, in the same way that the home end was dotted with local The Rangers fans when they were climbing the leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevchenko Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 If the dressing room story is true I would find it hard to believe he wouldn’t drop Durnan, let alone keep him as captain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
