  1. Hamilton v St Mirren 22/9/18

    A wake up call today for the players that there’s a lot of work to be done. They wanted rid of Stubbs and got their way. Time to step up now.
    Too many of them not at it today. As someone else said. Edwards was the only one shouting and bawling at the 3rd goal highlighting how unaccetable it was that we’re losing the first ball and then 3 players not getting close to getting a challenge in. 
    That was the story of the day. Not winning the first, second or third ball. 
    I thought we were pretty naive with our game plan. We tried to play into feet of Mullen, Smith, the guys that are normally good in tight positions. Problem is on that pitch you can’t get the ball out of your feet so Hamilton are all over you and then you start to hesitate and it just happens even worse. McGinn, Flynn,  all of them - all too easily dispossessed. 
    Hamilton played simple, quick, direct football - one lay off and they were away. Balls into the corner that hold up on that pitch. They exploited the space - which is all you can do on that pitch.  We did that ever so well on the plastic at Palmerston but that was with Lewis Morgan as our out ball. We don’t have anyone to even attempt to do that job just now. [emoji20] 
     
    When are you replacing OK ?

    That was disappointing, however, it’s going to be a long road until we are in any sort of decent shape. We simply don’t have good enough players and OK needs to find a way to make us more competitive with what he has at his disposal.

    All of the players who weren’t here last year are a downgrade on what we had in a lower division and those who were here are struggling with the step up.

    Doesn’t help losing key players to injury as we’re so light at certain positions but we just have to keep going and try to eke some points out of somewhere to stay ahead of Dundee.
    And Dundee will continue to be worse than us until they change manager

    Terrible performance after the 1st goal the team gave up.

    Really disappointed in Stephen McGinn today.

    Thought Kirkpatrick was the wrong sub to make also.


    Interesting. Have not been to any games yet this season so cannot talk with any accuracy, however, this is the first time I have seen criticism of S McGinn - and perhaps this is warranted.

    He was a stand out last year and needs to maintain that level this season. Or be dropped.

    Don't panic Mr Mannering - at least not yet!
    Can we put this down to just one of these days? After all, we had lost 3 players after 31 minutes from what would have been our starting lineup (not to mention those that are already on the injured list).
    Or are we really as bad as Elvis makes out?
    Did the plastic pitch play a part ?

    Would take 11th now for sure.

    Barring a miracle it’s between us and and Dundee for 12th.

    The fear is they will surely outspend us in January. We can’t have much cash left after the Stubbs/Jackson debacle.

    What a mess Scott has made of things.
    I don't think so. OK will get this sorted and while we will be bottom 6, we will not be bottom, or 11th. (Thank you Dundee!)

    Wasn’t at that today thankfully, by f**k that’s a shocking scoreline. Pumped by Accies? Accies??

    That’s our worst result of the season for sure.

    The football club’s in a fair shambles clearly. Let’s hope Gus can sort it out before it’s too late.
    I think losing till Livingston at home was a worse result. Not just becausr of the result, but the performance.

    Not getting carried away...... you are referencing team selection as a huge difference between Stubbs and OK when OK has only picked one team!
    Too early to judge anything especially when the only evidence is one good half against Celtic.  
    We have a squad that is very imbalanced and we will need to rely on some of Stubbs signings along the way. 
    Agree. I dot believe all Stubbs signings to be bad. I'm sure some will flourish into good players (for us) under the guidance of our new management team.

  18. Stubbs Sacked

    Was shocked when I heard the news last night, mainly due to Stubbs having a 3 year contract, but having time to think about it, it has to be the right call.
    I was initially positive about his appointment, so can’t be too critical of the BoD. They made a mistake, especially the length of contract, but they have acted quickly and are trying to fix it ASAP. He’s left some mess behind for whatever brave soul comes in to sort it.
    Can’t think of anything positive about Stubbs’ time with us. His shocking recruitment and the horrendous organisation of the team, especially at the back was embarrassing. We can only speculate what things were like in the changing room, but it looked like he’d completely lost any connection or bond with the players, if he ever had one. Seems to have been a polar opposite from Jack Ross.
    His body language and lack of energy was really poor and he reminded me of Rae, not taking responsibility for the team’s shortcomings and blaming it all on the players. His heart never seemed in it and he looked totally out of his depth; clueless.
    Jim McIntyre for me, to replace him. Good experience and unlucky to get the bullet at County. Was really worried that Utd would get him last season as McKinnon’s replacement.
    My overall feeling, now he’s gone is relief.
    Onwards and upwards.
    I feel sorry for Stubbs. However, I also feel for his signings. They are not all bad, and now have to prove themselves to a new manager.
    I expect a good few of them to excel under a new manger.
    And we will avoid relegation

    Its hard to believe we won the league and Livi were second when you look at how both teams are now.  We are in a total mess. 
    Haven't looked at it, but would be interesting to see how our results compared with Livingston over the last quarter. I think they played catch up pretty well over that period. And have carried on the good form.
