squeekybairn Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 dear oh dear........hartley's beginning to strike me as a manager who hasn't got a clue what he's doing.......selections all over the place, tactics all wrong......throwing darts at a dart board and hoping for the best. Where's the clear style/tactics/the solid formation and team selection???? only irving greenwood and harrison got pass marks for me today, so much for getting 'great finds' from down south. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn Necessities Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Once again the team that finished the game made much more sense than the team that started it. Cue the same back 4 again next week . We're shit. There's no way this lot are even making the playoffs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBairn Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 He need to cut out the first half bullshit. Sensible back four, two up front. Worrying that taking off a highly rated Chelsea midfielder and replacing him with a Gateshead winger made all the difference. He'll buy himself goodwill if he at least puts out a team that isn't beaten from the start. If he does that back four again, I'll supply the pike for his head. Needs to be a back four of McGhee Muirhead/Dallison Harrison Robson/Russell. If not he can f**k off. He can take Paton with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainrod Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 The problem is that Hartley has a difficult job. When a club is on the way up it needs a. Leader in the boardroom as well as in the dug out and on the park. All three need to be aligned and determined to succeed. We have a committee running the club. In the boardroom the main shareholder has passed the buck. In the dug out the manager is isolated and is working more in hope than expectation. On the park "our leader" means we'll and tries hard. But everyone on hear knows he's average so that's where we will end up average at best. We need a clear out in the board room. Most successfull clubs have a strong leader a ruthless businessman who is used to winning and won't settle for less and works closely with the manager to deliver that success, sharing responsibility for that achieving our goals. Remember Fulston a rogue perhaps but a chancer who would take a risk. Football in Scotland is one step up from the dugs There is no hope that our nice meaning even mildly enthusiastic committee will lead us anywhere but mediocrity. The one thing we have is the best fans in this league who deserve better. If things don't improve dramatically we will need to Demand change,. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I fear that Hartleys ability to pick and motivate a team is poor. Rumours of players falling out with the Don already. Robson although not a superstar is very competent at what he does. He is not injured as he is on the bench so why does he prefer a centre half over him ? Must be attitude and Hartley can only drop him not motivate him. Rumours of poor leadership skills are beginning to look correct sadly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't excuse the back 4 he's playing though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn Necessities Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Much more worried about the recruitment than any dressing room nonsense. If we're winning players will be happy. We're just poor. Signings look far from good enough even to compete at the top end of this league. Devoid of quality. Trying to make up for it with sheet numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Of course the big fear is now we are so absolutely hopeless, we will be subject to the shame of our 1st XI losing to Attilla's U-20's in the Challenge Cup. Genuinely think I'd be done with fitba forever if that happened. We'd never get over that sort of a riddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalkirkLad Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I’m not gonna slag him too much as he’s a young boy that obviously has great potential but Sammut really needs to up his game because on the basis of what I’ve seen Irving is 10x the player he is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing we have is the best fans in this league who deserve better. If things don't improve dramatically we will need to Demand change,. Let's not use any boardroom nonsense to deflect from the utter pish that was served up on the pitch today. That was Hartley's players, captain, team, formation and tactics - the board can't be blamed for that.Barring Irving for the last 30 minutes not 1 of those players were fit to wear the jersey. Muirhead shouldn't play for us again at right back, he is truly awful and has had more than enough game-time there to show that is simply is not capable. Hartley's made the mistake of making him captain so will force him as long as he can get away with it.Dallison needs to man-up, all style and absolutely zero substance so far.The full-back issues are glaring.Mackin is woeful, he makes Jordan White look like a footballer.I've yet to see anything from Lewis to suggest that he's either a winger or a striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
