Sortmeout Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 8 hours ago, RossBFaeDundee said: I'm getting a sense of deja vu with Hearts, reminding me of us last season. Everybody was so convinced that once we got a couple of positive results we'd kick on and easily rise above Accies and Midden, but it never happened. Stendel has had exactly the same start to league football as McIntyre had, started with 4 straight losses, went on a 4 game unbeaten streak with 2 draws, a win and another draw, before losing their next 2. This Saturday for them against Accies is huge, as it could well dictate who finishes bottom. Even if Hearts prevail and genuinely pick up form like everyone is saying they will, they'll still be in a dogfight around the relegation playoffs. I hope you're right, but Hearts are giving off the same helpless vibe we had last season. I was just saying to a boy in work there that if Stendel had been the boss since the summer and they were in a similar position and leaking goals they way they are then you would probably have a large majority of people saying that (if he hadn’t fucked the previous season up) Craig Levein would be a good shout to make them a bit more solid and get points on the board. It’s a funny old game. Watching their highlights last night and they appeared to be playing with no fullbacks and very little in terms of defensive minded players at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 As SRW posted earlier, Hearts are having a very DABs 15/16 season. I think they'll be reliant on St Mirren being worse to avoid 12th tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's simply no possibility that Accies would bottle it in a play-off against us. A moot point anyway as we'd be relying on McPake to steer us through 2 extremely tough ties against Ayr and Caley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Going back to the "Best Manager" stuff. I'll probably get this wrong, but i think since I started going in the 87-88 season, we've had: Jocky Scott Dave "Coco" Smith John Blackley (unsure if he was only caretaker) Gordon Wallace Iain Munro Simon "God" Stainrod Jim Duffy John "Cowboy" McCormack Jocky Scott The Bonettis Jim Duffy Alan Kernaghan Alex Rae Jocky Scott Chisholm and Dodds Barry Smith John "Whaurs the Deeds" Brown Paul Hartley Neil McCann Jim MacIntyre James McPake Of that lot, I'd say I've genuinely enjoyed watching us under Jocky first time round, Stainrod, and Duffy in his first spell. Jocky was manager when I started going part way through the 87-88 season, and it was a bit mental having one of the top scorers in europe playing for us every week. Sadly Angus Cook fucked our season by punting John Brown to Rangers in January. We faded after that, going from a 9 point lead over the DABs for the last UEFA cup spot to eventually finishing miles behind them in 7th or 8th. Iain Munro was a bit unlucky and underrated, but Stainrod rejuvenated the place as manager, despite getting regular stick as a player. Any Dees my age will fondly remember the 4-3 win over Rangers, but he managed a classy backs to the wall 1-0 win at Tannadice a few weeks later in which Duffy had a magnificent game at the back. We barely got out of our half all game but Dodds scored a late pen after Ivo Den Biemen went on a mazy. Duffy i think did extremely well in the mid 90s, getting a First Division side to a cup final and semi final in consecutive seasons. There was a real good vibe about the place, we were monumentally skint, Ron Dixon was a hopeless absentee chairman but we were often great to watch and most of my most memorable games as a Dee were during that spell. Stand outs were the mental 4-4 draw at McDiarmid Park (Weighorst's debut), winning 3-2 at Tannadice a week before the Cup Final and the Cup run itself, beating Hearts on pens after a 4-4 draw, and a Semi against Airdrie, again at McDiarmid. Duffy was interviewed sometime afterwards about that time, and basically said McCann's goal kept the club afloat. Sadly we shat it against an Aberdeen side with a front two of Shearer and Dodds in the final but those were fun days. I was gutted when he left for Hibs, a move he massively regretted, but I don't think any reasonable fan could blame him given the constraints he was working under. Dixon was basically selling every decent player we produced. Edited February 14, 2020 by Day of the Lords 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Rae under Kernaghan. WTF? Edit: I never even seen McPake under McIntyre. Out. McIntyre is, without a doubt, the biggest shyster to ever take the seat at Dens. Edited February 14, 2020 by Dele 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm sure 87-88 was the season Duffy did his knee. I remember us easily sitting top half that season, then as soon as we lost him we started shipping goals left and right, slipped down the table and missed out on a UEFA spot yet again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still argue that MacIntyre would still have us in a better position than the current clown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffy did his knee in a defeat at Ibrox in September 87. Defensively we were poorer after that, however we were still scoring plenty at the other end. Brown's transfer killed us that season, the goals dried up in January onwards and we were almost totally reliant on a tiring Tommy Coyne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieDee Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Kernaghan was truly awful but he did inherit a tragic team from Duffy and had to try to work with it when money was really tight. I'm sure he'd much rather have had the equivalent of the current squad. So far McPake and Kernaghan are pretty similar in managerial performance from my viewpoint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
