Russ Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Mutch Neilson Durnan McClelland Kelly Morrison Miller Alston Fotheringham Keena SammonDurnan out as well? Thought he pulled something that’s why he came off the other night. If he is that would mean either Mercer at right back or Leitch in midfield with Alston [emoji23]. Grim stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if Connolly is involved at all today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can start him instead of fotheringham we just might have an attack that is capable of winning the odd game out of the next 4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can start him instead of fotheringham we just might have an attack that is capable of winning the odd game out of the next 4 Connolly will undoubtedly be on the bench for a wee while before he gets a start unfortunately. If we hadn't wasted a loan on Fotheringham and had actually brought in a player ready to play at this level then things would look at least a wee bit better. Serious questions need asked of Holt and the bod on what the feck our strategy was in the window. We brought in a bunch of kids although none of them actually play in the position where we are crying out for younger players. Do these players not feckin realise they are only a few weeks away from having no job and in the current climate it's not going to be easy getting another one. You'd think they be trying like bears for new contracts at least. Edited April 24, 2021 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I’m not for a minute slating Fotheringham but let’s compare. We have been playing Fotheringham wide left mostly and Partick signed Tiffoney who is now playing wide left in a 4-4-2 formation. He has something like 6 goals and 5 assists since joining. That one signing , coupled with Rudden hitting form, has been the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were at Livingston and you were aware of the clearly limited coaching abilities of Miller, would you want your players going to him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) One thing that’s as obvious as the nose on your face, whoever the new manager is they will have to recruit 100x better. That is what makes or breaks a manager. Edited April 24, 2021 by CC52 FFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestfieldBairn Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That team is stinking. Two young laddies up against Mitch Megginson. Sammon on top on his own. A long, long 90 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be realistic that the Managers job at FFC is not the desirable gig it once was. What attracted managers is no longer on the table. No ! record of loyalty to managers. No ! youth set up No! quality in the squad No! trust in the directors It will be a case of prospective managers interviewing the Football Club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s flip the argument though: - the club are committed to starting a new development squad with the view of an academy. - the club have received serious investment from someone who has a track record of success in football. - we are likely to have the best budget in the league next season if we are still in League 1. The majority of the squad are out of contract meaning they have a blank canvas. - we are at our floor (I hope) with the only direction we are likely to go is up. The manager who achieves this will be held in high regard. I think most competent managers would succeed in this league given our budget and coupled with our current downward spiral it will look impressive on paper. IMO, we are a very attractive option for a manager looking to improve their reputation. Edited April 24, 2021 by Peter LaFleur 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great job for anyone with some confidence in their own ability. 4000 fans every other week a very competitive budget and superb facilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
