Jimmy Thelin

It depends on how involved he is in our recruitment.

If he has any say in identifying who we are bringing in, then questions have to be asked, as we are bringing in players clearly not suitable for our game and in a few cases just not good enough at all.

If he is given these players, with limited input from him and in turn doesn't rate them, then possibly we stick with him.

We can only hope that Lutz can help with sorting out recruitment and get the right players in to fit into Jimmy's preferred style.

You look at what the boy at Motherwell has done in a short time, with nothing like the resources Jimmy has, and seems to work fairly well with what he has available.

Not saying Motherwell are the best thing since sliced bread, but they do look a team with an identity and have been fairly consistent in their set up and approach to games.

He even has Paul McGinn now resembling a passable footballer.

I supposed I could have summed it up by saying, I'm f*cked if I ken.

Basically, Thelin doesn’t seem to know how to setup a team to get the best out of the players he’s got.

He doesn’t seem to know how to use his players, or play to their strengths (those that have any strengths that is)

There is no style, substance or identity to our team, tactics, formation & approach to games (what are the tactics?)

His substitutions usually make us worse, they are absolutely baffling.

He never makes in game adjustments to reflect the nature of the game or what’s going on. He won’t (or can’t) change his starting formation no matter what.

This is not a knee jerk reaction to another poor performance. None of this is new, its been the case for a year now.

In summary, I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that he’s just not a very good manager, and just hasn’t got the ability to get us to where we are supposed to be going…
