hedgeman83 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Totally. We were all seeing a completely different approach. We shut players down and harried them into mistakes then pushed forward in numbers . There was width to our play and the midfield actually got involved . No punting and hoping , everyone trying to find players with passes . So refreshing. Even in defeat we can see signs that the shackles have been taken off and players are playing to their potential. Burns and Spark were particularly the stand outs , although everyone upped their game today. Hopefully the signs of things to come in an attacking sense as we attacked in numbers. Well done Steve in picking up the morale. I am sure we can take this performance as a minimal benchmark and start to put some results together. Yet there is still one idiot shouting and moaning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been linked to quite a few clubs but no one seems to be keen to give him a chance........................ Sorry but merely playing for Rangers doesn't or shouldn't guarantee you anything . Anyone who says that he is back in Scotland now and fancies a go at management smacks of desperation to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This.I tend to agree with you in the fact that you see a lot of people clambering on about managers because they've played with either side of the old firm, as if that somehow means they'll be a great manager.Sure there's a few decent examples, but a lot of the best part time managers had decent part time careers at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Probably because they know exactly how part time clubs operate and the commitment required to manage them. Training at unsociable times etc. We had a perfect example with Jim Duffy who I think was taken aback by all the wee extra things he had to do which others would have done for him at a full time club. ..........................like having to organise training facilities , additional paperwork etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHM Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I think Maurice has been a manager since 2013,in Norway/Faroes,so he s not new to management.Is Maurice not from Dundee,so will be quite local,and will probably have good contacts in Scotland/England for loan players.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Ross 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he is at Elgin bit teaming up with his mate might appeal to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t have been that bad if the Raith board were reluctant to accept his resignation.Interested to hear your better options? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm_1982 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Board were happy enough for him to leave I think. Just going by your official club statement which said said his resignation was “reluctantly accepted”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Yeah, but he asked to bring another player in, wasn't allowed, then John Mcglynn brings in 3 in one day a few weeks later. He was managed out, in my view. And he oversaw some absolutely awful stuff too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
