Well,after six months or so of reading your comments on the team and the manager,I'm gonny take a wild guess at this reaction ....

 

To be fair to him, he started off in an impossible position.

But the recovery is a long time coming.

However, the recovery is a long time coming

Thats it, Im going to cyrogenically frozen.

We are like a wounded old Lion whose time has passed.

As far as I can tell, worst result in the Clubs entire history

So much for the 'new manager bounce effect' then bud.:(

Ps.I'll be doing a double check on the freezers next time I'm in the Larky Iceland shop. :)

Not so much a bounce as a dull thud as the team hit rock bottom

Unfortunately it's become a sub plot within the league as the other teams compete with each other to see who can score the most. The way the Benburb coaching staff were roaring to get the ball back and go again after every goal you'd think it had been us who were winning.

Well maybe not :(

Still the same coaching team just the old assistant now in charge so no great change. 

Started the season with young boys losing 7, 8, 9s brought in experienced players and it picked up to 1-0s 2-1s for a while. Today looked like he picked names out a hat who played where, with players swapping position over and over again during the game. Never seen a game like it.

Website states a resignation due to family & health reasons.

I don't know how to react to this--- next couple of games will tell us something.

Told us plenty, but nothing good.

Any Jags fans got a clue where we go from here?. In unchartered waters.  No good saying we will go down and rebuild, this level of damage is too much now

Sounds like 1970's Ajax total football, every player could cover all positions. Mind ye, Feyenoord pumped them 6-2 yesterday. Seriously , dig in, it will come good again. Best wishes.

No point in blowing this up to something that is not.  Circumstances and timings of the circumstances has left the club to be in this position for this season nothing more nothing less. The club is cutting the cloth accordingly with everyone working their socks off. The squad with all due respect is nowhere near good enough to compete with the stronger teams in the Championship . Come the end of the season 95% of players playing with teams become available for next season. Who is not to say that Thistle or clubs in the same position manage to get four or five good players  in and unearth a few young diamonds and before you know it the makings of a decent side are in place.

This is not something new in Junior football it may well be the first time you've experienced it at Larkhall but ask around most clubs and they will have gone through this at some point or other. Get to the end of the season and go again.

That's all we can do,but we need a new manager who has a very good knowledge of the Junior game,and who also has good contacts in the game,Larkhall will never pay big wages,but if we can get decent players,give them game time then they might go onto better clubs if they want

Exactly, margins are tight in the juniors and things change quickly. A decent manager and 2 or 3 experienced guys with a couple of willing runners. You could soon bounce back.
