DiegoDiego Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Never mind 'to be fair' would be nice to have 90 mins to win a game instead of 45. Got it wrong YET again today. Not a good manager. End of. Safe to say you're not a fan then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFan Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Genuinely don't know where you're coming from with this pish. Today's team is better and stronger than the one he inherited. Given that I don't see where the criticism comes from.So you're happy to watch a Thistle side, who are fighting for their lives, being absolutely bossed by a part time team at home? This is not the first time our 'tactical genius' of a manager has got the starting line up and tactics horribly wrong. Reminder.....the remit was promotion. Reality.....three games to avoid back to back relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Terrible starting eleven and terrible first half. We'll stay up by a bawhair but we need to tell Caldwell to GTF in the summer. Clueless fanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it was his own shite and baffling first team selection that got changed to what anyone with half a brain wound have done at half time. He shouldn't be applauded for cleaning up his own shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I no nothing about football but surely v Alloa you play lots of width and pull them about all over the place but we insisted on trying to play through the middle which Alloa lapped up. Constantly correcting your mistakes doesn't make you a great manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 It seems clear to be a tactical ploy of Caldwell's in itself to bring on a bit of pace and wing play as a bit of a curve ball in the second half. It's had mixed results: clearly failing at home to ICT; almost/just about working out against Dunfermline; and clearly contributing to a marked diffence in the second half today. The downside is first halfs like today where we had an anonymous midfield and static attack, with Sean McGinty advancing as our main playmaker and not even having an option for the defence splitting pass required (that he's never likely to make in a million years anyway). I'd personally rather see our best 11 on the pitch from the start, especially in midweek, but bringing on credible attacking options from the bench is at least a welcome enough reverse from Archibald where we were too often clinging onto a lead with no out ball at all.

Ignoring obviously the fact that we’re not safe from relegation with 3 games to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He leaves the team in credit when it’s in a better league position than the one he inherited. On that remit he is still failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Caldwell clearly has some glaring deficiencies as a manager, but he does some things well. He certainly deserves credit for realising his mistake (and it was his mistake) with the starting lineup and fixing it at half time. I don’t think Archibald would have done that.

Especially with Harkins decent performance stopping utter meltdowns? The two half time subs that he had to make because his starting 11 and formation were abysmal? Yes, well done Gary. Good result today in the end, and thank god for McDonald. Hopefully this gives us the final wee push we need to survive. But this ‘save the sniping for the end of the season’ patter is bollocks. Caldwell has taken us into a relegation dogfight - our plight is almost entirely his doing and his consistently poor team selections, formations and endless supply of bullshit can’t be blamed on anyone else. I’ll snipe at him if I wish, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Dont know if anyone else noted Goodwin going round all the Thistle players at the end and shaking their hands. Hated him as a player but he appears a class act! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
