Guest TPAFKATS Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I didn't limit it to our captain. Everyone shat themselves today. On numerous occasions Only difference is the coaching and tactics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLBud Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Didn’t read beyond the Xl. Essentially your point is we should start 3 of our 11 who aren’t here yet, and 1 of our 11 should be a player who’s 1 appearance at senior level was a f**king disgrace (jones). And Hodson? f**k me, my granny would have been better at right back than he was today. Yeah. Long way to go.You asked, I answered.We need, at least, 3 to come in and start. To say Jones was a f**king disgrace is just daft. Hodson at LB will be a better option than Coulson and we have nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfish Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Been a long time since I left a game as deflated as today. Far too many individual errors, but it’s tough to legislate for Kwepawa having the kind of nightmare he had today - he had to get hooked at half time, keeping him on for 3 minutes only served to humiliate the guy.Brock-Madsen was frustrating up front - I’d have been as well playing there in the first half, but he started to impose himself on their centre halves in the second half - shame it was too late by then.Don’t know where we go from here - we’re clearly miles off where we need to be, but I’m not sure I trust us to bring the required quality in.

DLBud Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 After today I would strip him of the captaincy and drop him. Then look for his response.Drop the captain and strip him of said captaincy because he’s had a bad game and couldn’t inspire the absolute pish around him?McGinn is not above criticism and certainly hasn’t been at his best so far this season but the whole team has been honking for weeks so why single him out?

Ethan Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 On reflection there is many to blame especially the manager. This for me is a huge week in terms of our squad. We need players in and if Stubbs fails to deliver then he truly is out his depth and wont last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6Saint Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 You think that Eck would have made the difference today?Maybe he could have had his op on the pitch? [emoji23]You’re clueless.

No. After today I would strip him of the captaincy and drop him. Then look for his response. So, who, pray, would you give the captaincy to instead? I wonder what Andy Webster is up to these days.

Mykey Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 We slag livi and rightly so, there is something wrong there with that asst manager interviewing for the managers position and the Kenny Miller debacle but one thing they did right was to have a probation clause in the contract, Kenny Miller bombed out without cost, now they may be proved right or wrong to trigger the probation clause, but they had one. I'll bet our chairman and chief exec wish they'd included one in a 3 year contract, if they had Stubbs taxi would have the engine running in greenhill Rd now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was better in the 2nd half because Livingston were content to sit off a bit given their lead. He looks like a player who would do better in a league where players have more time on the ball. That isn't this league, unfortunately. There might well be a player in there, but I don't think he is suited to where we are just now.

He doesn’t look mobile enough to play up on his own, but 4-4-2 just doesn’t suit the players we have. At least with Mullen you get a worker.

They were all terrible; but they’re young players and they’re learning.As captain, there is rightly more expected of McGinn than the rest. Leader of the pack and all that. He must at least shoulder some responsibility.Today he seemed far more interested in high fiving Cammy Smith when he came on than getting a grip of the midfield. Why?He’s happy enough to take the credit when things are going well. Indeed some bizarrely hold him up as the cause of all that’s went right in the last 18 months.I just don’t think he’s that good. I don’t think he’s much of a natural leader either. Recent central midfielders we’ve had at this level like McLean, Goodwin, Newton and his brother are all far better players than he is. If we are going to stay up this year we need a real leader in the middle of the park. There isn’t one in the squad just now. Hope we sign one.
