It can't be that good.

Deadly Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 You forgot about the astro pitch in Burntisland Scotty.

Id be amazed if they invested in a new astro pitch a few hundred yards away from an under capacity astro pitch they fully funded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With cut backs and cooncil budgets being slashed would be very surprised if the cooncil would be contributing anything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Here’s the thing - John Sim is a self made global financial millionaire and he thinks it’s a good idea. I’m pretty confident in standing behind him rather than some back of a fag packet maths conjured up by a guy on the spot on a football forum. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Smith out once we're knocked out the playoffs please. I'd stick him on gardening leave now and let Easton see the season out. This season is an absolute failure of management, whatever happens now. Players mis-used all year, with no semblance of an overall strategy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't go up thru the playoffs he will be sacked anyway so we are just as well sacking him I take no pleasure in saying this but if we don't go up he will be sacked. What does 3 weeks difference make? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Maybe we could save money on sacking managers by not giving unproven shit the beds 2 year deals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players have to take a lot of blame for underperforming, but the abject failure of management is the main reason we've ended up where we are. Not only have the tactics been non-existant for the most part, but continuously playing players out of position has really pissed me off. 4 minutes ago, Hank Scorpio said: Spence and Buchanan signed up for next season though, that should give us the fire power needed to shoot our way to the... Oh wait. Were they both signed on two-year deals? Disaster if so. I'd have Buchanan punted regardless of where we are, but would keep Spence for another crack at L1. The above two are perfect examples of Barry Smith's failures - prolific L1 strikers who haven't been prolific. This was literally the kitchen sink we through at the title, and it's fucking failed. No excuses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Buchanan and Spence don't go from being the top 2 scorers to what we've seen for no reason. The reason is Barry Smith. A manager who has never achieved anything at any club he's been at and yet our board last summer thought he was the man. Congratulations to Ayr. They've done it the way we should have done it, by playing attacking and exciting football, and having a team structure...the exact opposite of Smith. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 To be fair, both Buchanan and Spence have proven themselves at this level and would have probably done well if we didn't insist on playing long ball every week. Smith definitely needs to go - even if we win the play-offs by some miracle it'd be absolutely horrendous watching us get spanked week in, week out in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 If we just played Buchanan or Spence with Lewis Vaughan up front I’m sure they would’ve both been a shit load better than playing together. To think they were going to do well together is a tactical own goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
