Shouldnt be happening to a pro team, isnt getting any better and its costing us. Keeper and an older head centre half ASAP pls, mitchell is fine if we're in control of the ball but ive zero confidence in him when its backs to the wall time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldwell went after a 1-1 with Arbroath I think, so we may well be near the end in similar fashion. edit: would imagine it'll be a mutually consent'ed job if he does go, but the coaching team patently aren't good enough to fix this so yeah, death spiral it is baby, wooooo Edited November 12, 2022 by Thistle_do_nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It’s very likely to be McCalls last job in football unless his whole spiel about wanting Partick to be his last ever job was as much nonsense as the time he said he was torn over leaving us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I wonder if he regrets walking away from us now. New owner and senior management team in place since he left has improved us no end. It would mean him having less control so probably wouldn’t have liked it tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean him having less control so probably wouldn’t have liked it tbh.He’d have left with Lachlan imo. Knew he had full run of the place with him and I doubt David Smith would allow that to happen. The appointment of Mathie would never have happened with McCall at the club, and he’s arguably been the best signing Ayr have made in years if we carry on the way we’ve been going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) f**k knows who we’ll end up with if he goes. Kevin Thomson seems the obvious candidate, but based on listening to him commentate I don’t know if I’d fancy that. Edit: that’s not an argument for keeping McCall - we’re far better off for having brought him back, but it looks very much like he’s run out of ideas.

AMMjag Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 We finished last season on 52 points, an average of 1.44 points per game. In the transfer window, we were one of the only teams in the division (if not the only team) to bring in a host of signings, a few of whom would have no doubt interested all other teams in the league and will be with us on decent contracts (Milne, McMillan, Dowds). I posted at the start of the season that 60 points should be an attainable target given the signings we made and the decision to retain a largish squad (despite the injuries/suspensions atm, we have at least two players for just about every position in the squad). That should really be the barest of bare minimums, not least because of the quality of the rest of the league. If, out of nowhere, we got to the halfway point of the season having won our next 3 games, we would be on 29 points, still averaging less than required for that target. As it is, we are currently averaging 1.33 ppg, less than last season. The number of players out just now is about McCall's only defence, but the dreadful defensive record and chucking points has been a constant regardless of what team we had on the pitch. Most damning for me is the goals conceded from set pieces - if someone put up a table of all professional leagues in the world and sorted by that statistic, I'd be stunned if we weren't the worst of the lot. TTG. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattyman Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Jaquie Lowes shit yer pants army! Her, Britton, McCall, Scally, Archie GTF! As for this new trust they are a bunch of backstabbers so it is about time they lived up to their rep and stuck it into Low and her pals and gave them a p45 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 McCall should be punted. I reckon the majority of our fans would agree at the moment. Can’t see it happening though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of two people who would be more polar opposites of each other than Mathie and McCall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Does McCall move upstairs if he's punted? Becoming part of Low's cabal would be really top notch banter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 If I’m being kind, he has the Arbroath game, but anything bar a win and it’s jotters for McCall. Would give the caretaker/new manager a free punt against Kelty before back to league business. Sad state of affairs after a promising start. We’ve got a good squad on paper, so we’ve been told, but it’s just been an utterly shite few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollyjag Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Same old lame excuses I was happy when McCall was appointed but I think his time is up I don’t think he will walk but for the sake of the club he should go now .Would Lennon be interested 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
third lanark Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I cannot believe some jags fans are genuinely suggesting Danny Lennon. he has just been sacked from a lower league one club. I don’t think he came out that well from the Goodwillie carry on etc before that. Would be a complete lazy appointment from the board who would harp on about this jags legend carry on- we are the only team he has ever wanted to manage time crap and certain sections our our support would just lap it up (especially the one’s suggesting him now) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
