mizfit Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I still think not targeting a defender in January was a mistake. Matthews error for that goal too, surely someone’s considering giving Sinclair an opportunity soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 We should absolutely be starting Sinclair next week based on form, never mind anything else. Two games in a row Matthews has been culpable. It may well be that his loan deal means if he’s fit he plays however… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major injuries or having to sell key players or anything else glaringly obvious that you can point to this time round. Just started a shite run of form and never really got ourselves out of it. Going by the points per game ratio we’re currently on (8 from 13), I make it we’ll get 5 more points this season, leaving us finishing on 37. That would be 2 points more than last season’s total. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Has there been a loss of focus/intensity due to the fact the one and only target coming from the manager was avoid relegation even when in 5th? Players subconsciously feeling like the target for the season had already been reached? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 It’s another symptom in the glaring drop in standards under this manager . We did ok with 10 men yesterday but ‘magnificent’? Ffs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reasoning the club have given is it needed work and then allowed something like a minimum 12 weeks to bed in but because his team were shite and finished 11th so there wasn't enough time between the playoff and the League cup starting so they were back using it again after like 4 weeks When would a pitch ever get 12 weeks to bed in? The maximum time for a bottom 6 team between season end & League Cup qualifiers is about 6-7 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were wondering whether some time in the Championship might at least see him return to you in the summer with some confidence: If it was just the dreadful finishing shown here that'd be one thing, but he's been consistently hopeless in his all round play as well. His selection has been a significant factor in tanking our season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are saying it needed double the bedding in time it actually got and blames that on the playoff. They started playing friendlies on it prior to the league cup as well. It was horrific at that point with large very noticable gaps between rolls of turf and burn marks where fertiliser had evidently been split on it.

He’s absolute garbage, how Callum Davidson thought he’s worth a 2 and a half year contract on the back of a poor loan in the first half of last season I’ll never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This deal convinces that McLennan will also be given at minimum a 2 year deal. See if we sign McLennan and allow David to leave.

The Saintee Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Guy on WAP says that Considine was sent off twice in his whole 3000 games for Aberdeen. And two already with us now. Watch teams target him with pace now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the PPG will go up, as we've been good v bottom half sides (so far) this season. We simply cannot be anywhere near 10th/11th by the end considering where we sat in December. Zero amount of spin makes it acceptable considering the things youve mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Ever since we imploded a bit at the end of the home tie with LAsK with 2 red cards, our discipline has been poor. That season there were some dodgy decisions against us, but we had a big lack of discipline on a few occasions when we were up against it. This season it feels like half the games where we look okay and have a chance we f**k it up by losing a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this as well, but we’re a team that went 8 defeats in a row so I just hope neither of the bottom two go on a run or I could see us getting very nervy. Ideally we get 5-6 points pre-split to practically guarantee theres no chance of us getting dragged into the battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear manager can't turn a poor form around tactically so we're fucked if players lose confidence. Win and thats safety completelt guaranteed and pressure off, and we can experiment for next season (surely). Follow a win v County with a decent post split, with him giving Sinclair a run and experimenting with different shapes, and i can see why some people would feel optimistic headed into the Summer. Worst case is us slowly sinking closer to 11th, no signs of any changes or thoughts about next season, and us all being miserable headed into the Summer brsak.
