That result plus the time they pumped Hearts 4-0 in the cup were the only times I can recall being genuinely amused and pleased at Falkirk winning.

I was going to make a similar type comment at the end of my last post as I think that's probably correct. I decided against it though as I felt the guy may take it the wrong way and go into the huff.

MrDust Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Pull My Strings said: Looking forward to this tomorrow. On paper we've probably got about 18 guys who'd walk straight into the Falkirk team*. Unless Ray's suddenly become a tactical genius that should be enough to see United through. * Seaman, Bouhenna, Frans, Connolly, Reynolds (away games only), Booth, Fyvie, Stanton, Butcher, Gomis, Harkes, McMullan, Pawlett, Smith, Nesbitt, Clark, Safranko and Sow. Probably Watson and Matty Smith as well but let's be generous. Statistically speaking, Ray is still your best manager in the 3 years in the 2nd tier. I personally have been surprised he hasnt been as rigid on the 4-2-3-1 like he was at Utd. He seems a decent bloke too(dont ask Morton tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure his record is better than Neilson's though and he did run out of ideas at United at the end. Edit: Just checked, McKinnon with 51% win ratio against Neilson with 61%.

I think Robson is better than Booth as well, but United fans get on his case for off field indiscretions as well as ability on the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilson just being the door is a flawed win ratio compared to someone with 80 games or so Id guess, only when Neilson has same amount at same level can that be used.

Maybe, although it's inarguably wrong to say that he's the best manager we've had in our three years in the second flight if you're just going to ignore the guy who has a better record on the basis that he's not been in charge long enough. Fair enough if you want to argue that McKinnon's better than Laszlo. You'll struggle to find anyone who would argue with that. For the record, the respective win records are as follows:- Neilson 61% McKinnon at United 51% Laszlo 42% McKinnon at Falkirk 26%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loemba90 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 McKinnon was definitely better than Laszlo, but think almost every utd fan would agree that Neilson is better than both of them. Never confident going to Falkirk as we have put in some of our worst performances of the last 3 years there. But we do have a decent squad now, with a bit of quality in Harkes, Pawlett and Safranko who would all walk into any team in this league. Hoping for a win but could be tight.
