Loemba90 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 These post match interviews from Courts - DUTV, BBC and Sky - are the scariest thing about the whole day. He thinks there were lots of positives, we were the better team in the first half and had them ‘hemmed in’ for the last half hour!!!! WTAF??? Dleuded or just lying through his teeth? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said in a q&a with the Fed politburo just last night that he didn't like slating the players or performances in public, but there is a difference between antagonising his playing staff and treating the support with contempt. Or maybe he is deluded, given the nonsense spouted about youth and then seeing today's team selection, which was always doomed to failure on the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 How long before a ‘Tam Courts must go’ thread? My the end of September we will have played seven league matches. I think we might only have four points by then. If we get beat by Dundee at Tannadice he will be under huge pressure. If we get horsed by Dundee, which is a possibility, I think his position will be untenable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've never feared a pumping from the old firm but I'm dreading what the score line is gonna be. This 3/5 at the back doesn't work with the players getting put on the pitch. If he's going to persist with it the back 3 needs to be one that doesn't contain Reynolds. If the middle 3 doesn't have 2 central midfielders plus a creative output it's pointless. If the wingbacks don't provide the width needed and no service gets to the strikers then it's completely without merit playing that system. Even going back to 4231 so there's 3 players behind Shanks to play balls from or drag others out of position so wider players can get in behind but we've no one with that kind of pace atm. Sevco could easily match the 8 they put past Accies last season next weekend on today's viewing. It wouldn't be perfect but if we're keeping that formation I'd rather have Freeman and Spörle in the wing back positions. Smith isn't good enough going forward at this level, Robson isn't much better. When there's so little coming creativity or build up play from the midfield in this formation, especially with today's starting XI, it's killing any attacking ambitions stone dead. If Edwards and Mulgrew are both playing then we should have Neilson in beside them as he at least has a bit of confidence on the ball. At the very least his first instinct won't always be to punt the ball long. I also wouldn't have Clark as the 2nd striker up alongside Shankland in this formation. We either need to give Appéré a decent run playing alongside Shanks there or look to sign someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't see Courts being gone before New Year. Asghar and Ogren have sunk a lot of their credibility into promoting Courts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby would be a massive upgrade on what we currently have. The man's an absolute bell-end but I'd be delighted to have him back if it meant getting shot of Mr Phones-r-us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's bad as you say, you have my sympathy. Surely Tam can't be as idiotic or deluded as the imbecile appointed by our Jlow, the execrable Gary Caldwell? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 15 of the first half aside, Aberdeen battered Utd and had it been more than 2 I don't think Utd could've complained. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the face of it he's just completely unqualified for the post. No record as a player, coach or manager in the professional game. Got the gig because he was on the premises and presumably those in charge saw something in him but f**k knows what that was and how they came to the conclusion that it was worth chucking all accepted practice out of the window for this boy wonder. If he's got something then he better start showing it soon because from the outside it looks a lot like he's blagging it. And he talks a lot of shit, which really doesn't help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
