Muzza81 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 If you don’t win on Tuesday you’d imagine there would be a lot of pressure on the board to take action. To not win against Albion, Cowden and Queens Park at the business stage of the season would be alarming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergie1 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Looks like the officials where told to maybe try and even up the mistake made by the sfa awarding Albion 3 points. Not sure how he’s not given offside for our goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Find it amazing that people don’t think a change in manager can change fortunes with the same players. Being unable to set a team up and not winning a game in months is unforgivable. A competent manager could easily come in and make this dross hard to beat. I am an Accies fan and despite yesterdays shambles Brian Rice has made a huge difference already. He made a big difference in his first game.A positive, organised manager can change things for the better very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the wind hasn't changed for Harvey and he's been given the boot already. Actually, surprised he hadn't resigned as his record in 2019 is absolutely dreadful. 2 Questions for the Board. First, do they really think Harvey's team - now without the experience of O'Kane and probably Brydon can suddenly start winning, either in Div 2 or against a high flying Lowland/Highland side ? (Does anyone think that?) Second, is there any manager out there with the experience to get more out of this team? If so, go get him cos the answer to Q1 is most obviously 'no' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change would have to be quick, and an improvement; otherwise it'd be typical football ill-consieved knee-jerk.The hard working and unified management /team dynamic I see (but neither of you do) could be lost if the unit is disrupted; not for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he is tho is he is professional, driven, and a winner. He knew when he started out where he wanted to go in management and what it would take to get there and he’s done exactly that, has to be applauded in my eyes. Good fit for both parties. This has aged well. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back post Willie Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 This league need experience in players and managers alike, whatever non league players some think are great signings are not, I would say of the 10 Harvey has drafted in only 1 is up to it and that will always be the ratio in my eyes because of the step up ( hard to believe watching league 2 I know but still true)We are on the cusp of oblivion and the last 2 managerial appointments have the responsibility in my eyes for this and those who appointed them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 As I see it we've got a mini-season of 9 games still to play. We should look at it as a fresh start, clean slate, whatever. We start 2pts ahead of Albion Rovers. We've an extra game than Albion Rovers (against QP). We don't have to play Cowdenbeath - they don't have to play Stirling. We've the same number of home games left but the head-to-head is at Shielfield. It's clearly a time for deep concern and a steeling of resolve, but not for panic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the shoe was on the other foot here I would feel hard done by purely based on the linesman’s position. And could you imagine Jonnys interview had that been for the cowden goal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 That does look an incredibly poor decision, can only assume the linesman doesn’t think the lad gets a touch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we get beat I really do think he must go before saturdays game. There would be plenty of experienced managers out there out of a job who would probably love the job as a chance to prove themselves again. Whether that be on a short term basis long term, either way ensuring our league status is imperative. 1 or 2 wins is all it’s going to take it’s common knowledge across the footballing community a new manager can give a fresh spark, new lease of life whatever you want to call it and I think that happened when Jonny first arrived.

sammyreidloyal Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 My original question was partially whether JH stays but also is there some sort of protest planned! As said on another thread this wouldn't happen to certain SPL clubs. We have been masters of our own downfall, but this really takes the piss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
