Let alone wherever you're getting the money to pay for a Director of Football. Maybe one of the short list of candidates for the post? Where do we get the money for anything? Certainly not through commercial activities- no golf day planned- no speakers night organised- Lots we are not privy to I’d say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his day he is a good player. That's why I said he needs to be more consistent.

haufdaft Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Oh right - he made a Cnut of it AND he’s been let down by players. To be honest, how many of his signings have been a success? Mitchell, for sure. Howie at CB yes not RB. Lang, for sure but he didn’t play him in his natural position for months until Cogill got injured, CJ, No, Smith, No, Wallace No, Fitzpatrick, No, I could go on....... what part of any of this gives you the reason to trust he’ll remedy things with a completely new squad? I personally don’t think he has the contacts in football we’d expect of him and the sooner we appoint a well connected Director of Football to help bring players of the right standard to compete for promotion to the Championship, the better. Danny has been given everything, he’s a very nice, friendly, approachable person and yes I believe he’s developed a real affinity with the Club..... but, 2 wins in 14 games.... not scored for a month, lack lustre performances, shocking finishing, poor tactics, all very real criticisms...... something has to give eventually. His post match interviews are becoming very repetitive, loaded with cliches and comments about believing in the quality in the dressing room. Well just over a quarter of the season to go and we’re 1 point off the playoff spot- I hope, I really hope, we turn things around..... but we’re running out of time for Danny to get this right.Don't forget a two year contact for McNiff plus extensions for Duffie and Lamont plus the long, long wait for McStay to re-sign.Not to mention no proper full back for half a season, except the always injured Duffie who's fourth choice RB behind two midfielders and a centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Since when did we start pulling everyone back to defend corners? Such a negative tactic and gives us no out ball. Dumbarton scored from a corner so it makes F all difference anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Burton Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Over on the relegation thread, it looks like 35 points should be more than likely enough to stay up.We've got home games against Dumbarton, Forfar, Peterhead and Stranraer plus away at Stranraer. Those games will go a long way to deciding if we stay up or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave Goodie up and they would be terrified to leave him with less than 2/3 back looking after him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave Goodie up and they would be terrified to leave him with less than 2/3 back looking after him. This is one of several counter-productive issues that we've adopted, and like all the others the results simply are dreadful. Bringing in Lang, to either replace or partner whichever CBs we've used until now won't make the blindest bit of difference until the midfield grow a set and impose themselves. Grant sits far too deep for someone with virtually zero creative distribution, never actually picking up a man and often wandering into the spaces the CBs need to push their opponents back into. Put another way, none of our CBs ever get in Mitchell's road. There's a reason. No denying that goals have come from individual errors among that group, but the sheer volume we're losing from runs/speculatives from outside the area is frightening. Last year this was down to Clownshoe Currie, but this time its down to pure shitebaggery in the middle. No wonder teams take us as easy beats when they know all they need to do is tire out McStay or Lamont (if they even bother with them) and who invariably chuck it quickly. This was spotted early at Stranraer, and at Montrose. f**k all done about it. That's the managers fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ladies day against Peterhead. Hughie was wanting to get his hair and nails done.If we are turning away normal hospitality for the Peterhead game then that is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
