He's going on that fans called for changes to the defence and he's done that but we still make the same mistakes... well John maybe there's a common link there? It's the same mistakes every week and McGlynn is the common denominator. It's also amazing that every away game we lose we apparently were the better side and had the most chances. You know he's not actually playing, don't you? The players are, as others have said, simply not good enough. Tactics and team selection can't make sub standard players good ones, or play as a solid unit. That said, he is entirely culpable for the present state of our personnel because he wilfully ignored the defence in the transfer window, when everyone else could see the problem. Oh, for an Alex Brash or a prime Shaun Dennis or a Dave Narey. And a Davie McGurn. And a Colin Cameron. And a Craig Brewster etc There's certainly an element of the players needing to take a huge chunk of the blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't great but I've seen us worse. That said, it's hard not to look at that team and think they are absolutely fucking shite. I don't know what it is, but they just look absolutely devoid of idea in any area of the park. The defence is a disaster, but the midfield must take special mention too. Wedderburn had a spell before being subbed where he was just completely awful, everything he touched fell apart. Forfar worked incredibly hard, especially after going to 1-1 and we had no answer. The Mcglynn thing hasn't worked this season, and it's becoming harder to back him. I personally think he should be given the summer to have a go, but understand those who feel otherwise. No idea why some seem to have so much vitriol for those that don't share their view on this though. Some folk are just arrogant! If you look at it at a purely football perspective no manager would be given another chance. It's just sentimental as it was from the start and the club is more important than that . If you really cared about the club you would aknowelege that instead of caring about one individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn should have worked better than he has. I'm prepared to give him the summer, largely because I've no idea who else would take the job and do any better (and would be in our capabilities to attract) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevoraith Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Why? No other manager with his recent record would get away with this how stupid or blind are you?That’s not true though is it?The majority of clubs would not sack a manager after three quarters of a season with (largely) somebody else’s squad. That’s the kind of knee-jerk rash decision that has landed us where we are. Give him the summer and the funds to recruit. If it gets to next winter and we’re still as utterly pish as we are now then the calls to get rid of the manager will be justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 To be fair, we had a hell of a lot of shots in the first half in and around the box, I'd say we were probably on top at half time. Second half we were second best by a fair bit. First half, yes we peppered the sky and advertising boards behind the goal with shots, the keeper on the other hand has made next to no saves of note.

McGuigan1978 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I see Frank conner has had another measured, considerate and rational Saturday evening, which judging by his comments, involves drinking pints of turps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
