Glad it's done. Probably a cpl of weeks later than should have but we are their now.
I am sure there will be plenty of interested parties.
An interesting month lies ahead.0 -
The atmosphere is such that it's not enjoyable going just now unless tanked up on Casiero Del Diablo. Whilst I always want us to win it does take the shine off it when you know it keeps a manager on that need's to go.
Very meh.0 -
Danny Lennon would be my first choice. Didn't end too well with clyde but his overall record is very good.

Pish.
Swift out.1 -
Through and that's the main thing. Can't not concede eh. Team with better players won is all that's happened here. Hopefully prize money/decent draw gets the compo money to see the change needed.

That's a rubbish price but we could absolutely be turned overFormartine 7/5 tomorrow. Worth a bet?0 -
We can bump our gums all we want. Seemed pretty clear from that interview he's going nowhere so assume he's got assurances.

Yeah the interview was quite something. #this is our year to like you say shouting about being a few pts from 3rd as we sit 5th. 13pts off top, 10ts off second and only 7pts off bottom. The mumblings of a desperate guy clinging onto any sort of "positive"
He asked the more vocal fans to back his management team the next few weeks, but it's too late as far as I'm concerned. If he stays we will win a few games, maybe go on a few wee runs as we have seen in past but as has been shown time & time again we ain't got it under this manager. I don't want to be proved wrong. I just want this finished and a fresh start with what I do still believe is a capable squad.0 -
It's a fair shout this season. A like the big man but he's having next to no impact on games. I'd throw in a defence that in the right set up etc he can get back to his POTY form but only with the change of management.Can anyone explain what Wedderburn offers on the pitch?1 -
I just don't get why we are waiting. The performances are so abject it's criminal to let this continue. Ian has been a fantastic chairman, but this can not go on.
Is it because we can't afford to sack him? We did give a 3 year deal but I was led to believe the notice pay off was about 3 months.
Today was awful against a really poor team, some goal right enough. They should have won the game at the end and bar a couple long rangers we created f*ck all.
The manager and more so his clown assistant Wright looking up at the fans as if we are wrong for giving a piece of our mind was embarrassing. Fraser Wright looked like he was signalling for a fight & it's not the first time, utter clown.
There has been zero connection with this management team , Wright especially is a thoroughly unlikeable guy and I hope this is the last we see of them.0 -
Can't see us not winning this due to how poor they are. The fact we only 7pts off bottom the win is quite important in that respect, and the fact that's even in thought process is a joke.

Deary meAre they all his signings? What is Martin Christie's role and the scouting network? Can we blame Swift solely for recruitment? I don't know if we can.
We had a decent wee run of form and got ourselves from bottom into the top 3. We're more than capable of beating any team in this league, with Swift as gaffer. Our league has 10 teams all around the same level. Albion Rovers just beat Stirling, who's wee run of form seems to be turning cold. It happens.0 -
You seem to overlook the fact the players you have pointed out to give swift some slack are his signings. He has not proven in any way he is capable of bringing us success & I will be very disappointed if he is not gone this week.I'm on the fence regarding Swift's position.
It's frustrating that we can't build form and maintain it. The inconsistency in form is being compounded by injuries and the failures of the Brown and Bryson signings. Our defensive play is lacking and sometimes I just wish I saw some passion from Swift.
That being said, I'm looking more at those on the pitch. Forbes, Higgins and Brennan could all leave in January for my liking and not be missed. We all know Forbes's qualities and weaknesses but his defensive work is costing us. Against Albion Rovers, it was costly. The amount of times a defender was pulled forward due to Forbes's defensive lapses or a cross was allowed into the box was far too often.
Would be great if we could just replace these players, however I also don't know if bringing in a new coach would improve them or their performances, many have tried with Forbes. The other two just don't have enough to improve, I feel.
I still think Swift would get more success if he would allow the players to play to their strengths. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of an all out attack line-up : Brennan, Yeats, Crighton, Jamieson, Corbett, Brown, Miller, O'Reilly, Sewell, Yates and Orr. F*** it, our team is almost made for countering and high press, why not try it. If our defence is that shite, try to keep the ball at the other end of the park instead of asking them to to play it out and pass it around.
We have some very good players, so will win games at times, and whether he is there or not I fully expect to beat a poor B Rose team on our pitch but let's be clear that in no way is a turn around.

Today was pathetic. Again, goals conceded at will & biggest surprise is we scored 2 goals as we were miles off it.
I hope Iain Mcmenemy is strong as it is absolutely time to weild the axe, we under swift or Mr hanky the Xmas poo could potentially win the next cpl but it changes nothing, the money spent on the squad and current performance is completely unacceptable.
He flung sh*te at the wall at Forfar with this 3 at the back nonsense when the pressure was on big time. We got a cpl of results, and it's the formation we are seeing week in, week out with basically no impact. We are soft as f*ck.
I was really vocal today toward Swift as were most, and hopefully, the hierarchy feels the same and gets him out pronto.0 -
Good to see this junior mab struggling. Unless you have money like Cove/Kelty you're just a non league Diddy till proven otherwise. They have been one of the best non league teams for years without a sugar daddy and that same squad are toiling a bit, lost 8 out of last 9. The step up is not quite the given a lot of these non league fans think it might be.

No really what I'd come on here venting about to be fair but hopefully this is swift's Last ChristmasWhy the f*** were we playing Xmas hits before the game. What genius thought that was good idea on 5th November. Suffering the game was bad enough without that piss. Get a grip.0 -
Am no sure I'd be too happy at a point v us against ten men after pen but last minute always feels better. Thought overall EF were better without creating too much. We got a goal from a corner with 10 men otherwise we would have lost 100%.
Thought we were OK in spells first half after EF started much better in first 10 mins. They were well ahead 2nd half even before Dan Higgins stupidity ( just let him take the shot ffs)
But like a broken record we concede about 2 goals a match and will not get anywhere whilst that continues. Swift can go any time he wants as far as I'm concerned. It's just no happening and whilst we will win a good few games as we have decent players when it comes to crunch we ain't got it.1 -
I think you have hit the nail on the head with the not "physical" comment.The fact his registration remains with Stenhousemuir suggests that whatever the issue is, he isn’t fit enough to play. So just like any other player with an “injury” we have to just lump it.
Of course the “injury” may not be physical.
The signings of Bryson, and now Brown, have been unmitigated disasters.
It's a bizarre situation that sums Stenhousemuir up to an absolute tee.

This is our season summed up. Concede too many goals and won't win enough games till that stops. On the surface didn't feel too bad yesterday as equaliser was late on but it's not a good result ultimately.
Looked like brennan has let us down at first goal but no seen it back.
Meh.0 -
The only certainty is we will concede at least 1, probably 2. After that who knows.

A "challenge" in what respect? You guys are doing exactly what any rational person would have thought. Pretty competitive but nothing great, no stand out player as such. There is no Vale of Liethen or Gretna 2008 in this league so if by challenge yous mean no pretty much gaurenteed win every 2nd/3rd week then aye. A toughie right enough.Well it was a rather dreich day in Clackmannanshire in more ways than one. Agree with the post above the step up has been a challenge after the promising start to the season. Will be interesting to see what develops in the next few weeks. Gets no easier next Saturday when we visit the League leaders.
P.S Well done to great club servant Alan Horne who gets a well deserved testimonial game this afternoon. What a class act he has been for the Rose in his time at NDP.
