surely not! Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Happy obviously a man of your intense footballing knowledge must be managing a big team somewhere but should you ever feel the need to come down to our level, don't hesitate to send your CV in to Craig Graham at Spartans FC. Grimbo Ask any spartans fan and they'll tell you the same grim. No one suggesting that they could do a better job than Sammy but the chopping and changing has coincided with one of the worst runs in recent years and a huge underachievement this season. There are a number of teams who 'rotate' at all levels, but looking at recent line ups spartans have changed every area of the park on an almost weekly basis. Difficult for partnerships to develop which is a huge factor at part time level IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

open mind Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Here’s a question for the more educated amongst you, When or if ever have ‘’The Spartans’’ been papped out of 3 cups within 7 days. I can’t think this has ever happened. Dougie better have a plan B for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 We are in the top 4 of the hardest league we've ever been in, we got further than any team from our or the equivalent highland league in the Scottish Cup. We are still in the Lowland League Cup. If you are asking would I like to still be in every competition them who wouldn't? The facts that I'm aware of are that we've lost key players through out the campaigns. Yes I know other teams have but I'm telling you about Spartans. We are still bedding in new players as well, yes the same as every other team too. Sammy has stated that he has been rotating his squad in order to maintain the best possible team for the Scottish Cup since the League title was no longer a viable option. If you are an unhappy Spartans fan then, either contact Sammy or just come & support us when we are winning. We are out of the Scottish Cup now, so let's see what the team is & how we perform. Eh? Unfortunately I'm away this weekend so I will miss the fantastic trip down the pans. Come back at the end of the season & see where we are & I'll tell you what my thoughts are again.

Grimbo Well said Grim but it's all this "bedding" that's causing you bother imo. You've too many good players and can't keep them all happy. That's probably yer reasons for rotating every week.

pep Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hopefully sammy will see the light and forget results on league and prepare for rest of season. Play some youngsters. Play players in positions they are meant to play. Grinchy at left back for instance. Can make all the Excuses we want but if you look at our squad versus whitehills or city even with injuries we should still be able to compete. The cup run is great but ask any manager U want a cup run or the big prize a place in the big league what would you choose ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
