Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The drop in confidence across the team has been pretty alarming in the last 2 home games. We showed signs of this on boxing day against Airdrie, but bounced back from that with a decent performance up at Montrose. As folk have said about Saturdays game- the ref done us a little bit, but East Fife were much the better team and deserved the 3 points anyway. I think folk will make up their own minds about what they do. But a similar outcome against Dumbarton next weekend would surely be the death knell of the managers reign- and ultimately if he remains in post after that Im sure there will be quite a lot of people considering how they can take action if the change isnt forthcoming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeodhasXD Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Good news on Trouten at least - his injury isn't as bad as feared. I've been saying it since he was on the commentary - we need his goals back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think for me the perfect situation to lift the mood is Andy in for the rest of the season. Although, we rely on him more and more on the park now as Mendy somehow becomes more of a bomb scare. I just think this team have ability and if anyone can get them enjoying their football again, it’s that man. I do wonder if certain managers see Andy Graham as a threat to them. Any one who has watched and met Andy knows he carries himself extremely well and has great experience in the game, I wonder if younger, egotistical managers (such as Aitken and Ferguson) see Graham as a future threat to their position, hence they immediately try and limit their influence. Andy was stripped of captaincy, treated poorly and eventually punted by Aitken. When I saw you boys sign a host of centre backs and saw Andy dropping out the team I wondered if the same thing was about to happen to him. I know there was rumours of Andy taking the job in the summer, do you know if Mulraney interviewed him for it?

No Henderson, no Sammon and Trouten potentially. Boyd not firing, along with most of the team. Greig Spence emergency loan Can’t see many players looking to join us at present as players talk and Ferguson is seen as a odious person by fellow pros. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolandPie Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Comparisons wit h previous managers are a bit unfair - they - mostly - had a good track record (TH, AM etc) and had earned a degree of loyalty that MM showed - BF has no such record. He left a trail of destruction at Clyde - judging by posts on here - and had a huge budget at Kelty. He has failed here. It is traditional for Alloa managers to resign after losing to Dumbarton - be better if he did it before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMartyn86 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 About time! It'll be the usual names trotted out no doubt but right now I wouldn't really mind Andy and Trouts until the end of the season although they might be needed on the pitch more than in the dug out. I personally wouldn't be against the likes of Kettlewell or Duffy getting the job. Duffy with Andy as player assistant with the view of passing over the reigns one day? Although if Mulraney fancies another left field appointment then the likes of Andy Kirk and Stephen Simmons at Brechin spring to mind, two ex players who know the club well. Probably see the likes of Marvin Bartley, Jon Daly in the betting as well. As long as Bob Malcolm isn't caretaker then I couldn't really care right now. I'm just glad that we have a chance of staying up now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Hat Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Thank f**k, the worst manager in our history is gone. Unfortunately he has left us with some absolutely awful players and an an idiot of a keeper. Had he been punted at the start of the transfer window then it would have given somebody the chance to bring in players and get rid of some of the dross. Still absolutely delighted he has walked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Dunno why but I could genuinely see someone like Mark Kerr getting another shot at management with you guys and making it work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Poll for next manager can't be far away! Any potential candidates that Wasp fans would like to see? Could someone like Andy Graham take the helm short or even longer term or will experience be sought? Jim Duffy, Gus MacPherson, Allan Johnston probably worth saying clear of.

D'Jaffo Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 very humorous of you great that he has gone , not too soon either I was being serious. I think he still has a chance of being a good manager but needs the right club. I don’t think we were the right fit for him and he struggled due to a few players badly letting him down and I think COVID also played a part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liammcintosh01 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 All the fans who have been staying away because of that absolute disaster of a manager, will hopefully come back and get right behind the team 100% starting from Saturday, we are right in the mix for relegation and the players need as much positive support going forward as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 If you guys don't appoint Andy Graham then it's madness imo. I'd imagine the players will be playing with a lot more freedom on Saturday now too. They'll actually be looking forward to it. Which is a shame. I ideally wanted 'Bazza' to cling on for another week or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
