bigjerseybuddie Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 We have arguably the most creative midfielders in the league but they will get sucked into mediocrity when the defence is disorganised and the attack is one player isolated on his own. Our new keeper isn't the first to have a few 'mares and go on to have a great season. There is a sense of Danny either wearing Rose tinted glasses or not having enough nous in the transfer/contact stakes. Watching Ross county today it was clear that they have a footballing philosophy that each player understands and is comfortable with. They also appear to have the ability to carry it out.how did they get these players, most of which would be unheard of? We keep hearing about our great facilities and our desire to play football as it should be played yet we cannot attract the players capable of representing these values. Are we that unattractive to decent players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Banjos Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Lennon gave us our highest league position in a quarter of a century then then followed it up with the first cup since 87. Always talking up the club and fans, goes round primary schools drumming up support. So we lose a game to a team who finished 4th last season and, by all accounts, we were doing okay against them until a dodgy pen and mad 10 minutes afterwards. A bit of perspective required? Danny has proved that he can bring us success in the league and cup. It's laughable he's being put under pressure one game into a season. I think he's partly suffering because he's not "St Mirren". No question that Billy Stark or Steve Clarke, with the same record, would be getting an easier ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 They could vote themselves off the board at an egm? well that is not a sacking,is it? However, it's an interesting thought. Perhaps you could relinquish the role of prime f**kwit? There are many candidates for that role around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints0 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Contradicting yourse Ah, I get it now. You meant "simple" as in "stupid"... No not stupid,we are paying less in wages than last year ,but havent used the cash ,yet according to you we have a bigger budget.A team adding ten players as opposed to us adding one suggests otherwise.now f**k off and annoy someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of that, but it might explain much of the shite on here sad if the rangers-supporting billy stark was seen to be more of a saints man than danny just because he had a few seasons at st mirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aber 87 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 11 players out, 5 in (2 goalies, an Under 20 and 2 first team squad). Before we signed Grainger we had no left back at the club! Thommo is still the only STRIKER at the club! Reilly is not a striker! We got rid of Parkin, Guy, Imrie and lost Goncalves and replaced none! If he's chasing Newton and Campbell from Newcastle can he not have done it before the League starts! He has ostracized Lee Mair for seeing out the contract the club gave him! We probably won't be paying for the DUD we have in goals just now! Where the feck has budget gone? We are worse off than last year (by a mile), and have a worse and reduced squad! After winning a Cup! We will never increase season ticket sales unless we do what ICT, Dundee Utd and most clubs do and bring players in early thus letting fans know what the f**k they are purchasing! LENNON MUST GO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) I'd make Steven Thompson manager immediately. DL should get till November - but I agree T&T would be the logical candidates till the end of the season. A new management team (if required) should get the benefit of the January transfer window to turn things round.

Out of our squad I would rather Goodwin with possibly Thompson as assistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie-dee Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 For f**ks sake people we have lost a game of football!!! Over reactions I think. Danny may not be perfect, however why would we replace a manager after 1 defeat into the season. Have a bit of faith folks. no it's now or never.

davidg Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Things could be worse. Could be Rangers fan, they don't have a club to support.

Bud the Baker Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Cast your minds back to January and the 4-1 humping by Ross County - Lennon responded by moving Newton and signing Isma. It's a fine line between success & failure in this division but the time to get it right has arrived, maybe it's a good thing we've got next week off. Definitely looking out my brown underwear!

Julian Banjos Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Logical to make ST manager because........ "he's one of us and we like him"? Lee Mair has done his badges too and has as much coaching experience as Thompson. Give him the gig?

stevie-dee Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sorry the season started today but did anyone tell the manager, he was badly prepared with a threadbare squad to chose from. it's like going to work without the tools of your trade, Like the ice cream van driver going out on the streets without his ice cream van. Danny time to go.....but thanks for winning the league cup.. But not perma tan Calderwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the above but disagree that if we want more signings we should put our hands in our pockets. We've let players go and failed to replace with players of the same standard.

kevo_smfc Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 We budget for 11th every year. This is fact. I still get the impression the board are using this season to blood the youngsters whilst we have a 15pt starting cushion, but how many times have I seen slip a lead? If this is the boards vision then it is a big risk if you ask me, especially when the dans are under the impression we will be replacing departing players.

Sounds good but a bad run of games, direct debits cancelled and then we're in the papers for failing to pay players wages. Like the idea though, I would be willing to stick my tenner away each month as long as it wasn't spunked on t shirts..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's happening closer to home is a bit rubbish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood buddie Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 That's another thing that should concern the board ,if we do hit a bad run or the football gets very poor ,people stop going ,I know season tickets have been bought anyway but we still get fans who go and pay on the day a couple of hundred down and its a big drop on the cashflow .
