  1. I’m with you, I like what glass tried to do too. He just didn’t have the players, plus as evidenced by jack gurr, I don’t think he fully understood our level. He thought gurr would excel whereas he wasn’t even close to good enough. But I think he would have come good with experience and support. i don’t consider what airdrie won as winning something that means he’s our level. We’ve failed with young and relatively unproven/inexperienced managers, your guy has less experience than the guys that just failed. Perhaps a few months at airdrie makes him more experienced in management as Robson, but robson’s experience and level as a player counts for something. regardless, he’s nowhere close to us at present. If we don’t hire someone mid 40s-mid 50s with legit management experience I’d be stunned.
  2. Absolutely zero chance of that happening. Not saying he might be something one day but he’s younger and less experienced than glass, Goodwin, or Robson. Has he ever won anything? Guy has done nothing in football. Yet perhaps, but absolutely zero chance of us looking at him.
  3. Sounds like we are sitting waiting for an answer from jimmy thelin. I’m ok with him as manager but not the way I’d want it to go with this process, especially if he ends up turning us down…..and my gut says he will. Fuck knows what plan B is. I’ve defended us a fair amount but if he says no it looks awful. The only acceptable reason for such a delayed hire too is if he states that he wanted to be sure we were playing in the SPL next year. I can accept that. this limbo has to end asap.

    Looks like bologna boss Thiago Motta is on his way to juventus, and I’d say from that Lewis Ferguson very likely to follow him. Show us the money!!
  5. Is he was questioning whether he’s the only player creating chances recently. Stats don’t lie but it doesn’t mean he’s effective.
  6. Interesting to note that a win today would have kept top 6 alive!!
  7. I’ll also add, while he was poor today, Mackenzie can be good going forward and can create. Bringing on duk means that Mackenzie has to, for the most part, stop going forward, as you know most often duk will lose possession and the opponent counters. if Mackenzie isn’t behind duk ready to defend he’s getting exposed and our left side is space for the opponent to exploit.
  8. Is he though? He got an assist the other day but he plays so little I don’t see how he can be creating a lot. My recollection of him this season is him fucking up and losing possession, most often because of poor choices and bad play. We create so little as a team so while he may create, doesnt mean he’s a high producer. I pushed for him to come on at half time as he tries stuff and can create, but problem is in games like today, he’s not smart enough to recognize where and when to do things. Said it already, it doesn’t come off for him that much when you think about it, and when he’s trying to be creative inside his own half more often than not he’s giving a good opportunity to the other team.
  9. Been thinking that for a while now. Goal then check, and most of the time I’m waiting for our goals to be disallowed anyway. Makes it a stressful experience! Takes away from the enjoyment of scoring!
  10. Said it last year too, guy is dumb as rocks and nine times out of ten makes the wrong decision. His goals bailed him out last year but he’s so easy to figure out and defend. You know what he’s going to do, then begs for a foul every time he loses the ball. I’d take any offer and move him on, not a team player either and must be so frustrating to play with.
  11. Shit weather shit pitch, doesn’t hide the fact we are shit too.
  12. Hopefully get proven wrong in the last minute but bringing on duk is like playing with 10.
  13. Talking to myself. What a horrible watch. Livi slightly the better team.
  14. We’re not nearly tight enough, not working hard enough. allow livi to knock it around and play to feet and we’re 5 yds off them. Allowing them to keep the ball. Can’t wait for season to be over, provided we stay up…
  15. I’d bring on duk at HT, hoilett is slower running than me walking backwards. Nice touches but totally ineffective, duk will be direct.
  16. Another shit watch so far. We’re not bad, they are just shit too. So much stop start with fouls and injuries, livi had a decent chance with a header early on, bojan should have scored his 1v1. At this rate we’ve got about 3 hrs left of the game.
  17. 3-1 us and an excellent performance! Miovski shinnie and duk. Since I’m predicting the highly unexpected, surprise starter Morris with 3 assists and MOTM.
  18. Totally agree, Ruby and McDonald attack and win the majority, the two today backed off. Not saying Ruby and angus are great, but at least they are aggressive and attack the ball. Very soft in the middle today. At 6’1’’ both should be much stronger, and especially when playing in Scotland, a central defender needs to be dominating in the air. Both today seemed to back away and county were left with space infront of our defense, plus I don’t recall gartenmann winning a header, he seems to hesitate plus lets the ball bounce. Thankfully we weren’t punished but plenty of teams would have damaged us there. These two cannot be long term solutions for us, just not good enough.
  19. Your last sentence. The whole squad is based on two up top with the duk of last year playing. Zero plan B and that’s why we are here today. Duk is our super sub, although any decent money offered and he’s away.
  20. Why? We have won two in a row but today was a shit watch. I know winning is all that matters right now but we were very lucky to get three points, could easily have lost, what the fuck have we been doing the last two weeks to produce that?? saying this, who knows what Robson, warnock, or leven could have done with a balanced squad?? quite happy to see the back of gartenmann unless he’s a cheap signing. I think he’s very poor in the air and a bang average player. We really need a dominating ball winning central defender and that’s not gartenmann or Jensen, weak middle partnership.
  21. Funny what happens when we actually pass the ball.
  22. What a shit watch, county the better team and the same pish in the second half that we saw in the majority of the first. Not even enthusiastic about watching, zero enjoyment.
  23. We’re awful in the air in central defense, look timid and unsure, having 3 midgets in center mid doesn’t help them either. We’ve been a little better since their goal, but not close to the Motherwell performance.
  24. Shit so far, where’s the passing from the Motherwell game? Back to long ball possession lost shit.
  25. Tough to predict but I’m going for 2-0, another shutout with effort and commitment. miovski x 2
