Is he more of a cones guy or more to offer? No real reason t.b.h. Just would like an established forward thinking manager who has the ability to change things when needed, etc. Happy for Paul to stay as no. 2 though ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah get them both gone, they’re a management team and equally as culpable in my opinion. If we are to get a fresh start it needs to be a manager bringing in his own assistant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeville Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Quite simply the reason we’re stuck in this division is because we have failed to find a decent striker. Until we find a 20+ a season striker we’re stuck. The board needs to show some ambition and find the finance for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely somewhere there is someone who will be the right appointment for us !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on track to have one of our best and most enjoyable seasons in 6/7 years, from our lowest point ever. Last night is very hard to come back from though. Even this I feel is a bit rose-tinted though - not having a go, I think we all did it. The first third of the season was very up, down and inconsistent. We hit a good run of form in the middle of the year, where we basically matched Dunfermline point for point for 9 or 10 games, before being swatted aside at East End Park. But last night wasn’t a massive shock if we’re being honest with ourselves (the number of goals conceded was, perhaps). We’ve been absolutely humming for weeks.

Harry Kinnear Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) I think the spine of our team is weak. I would like to see a more experienced keeper, an older head CH and a right dirty b*****d in centre mid and an experienced striker like a Burrell or Alan could play off/with. I suppose all clubs want that though. Edited May 10, 2023 by Harry Kinnear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the lure of being so close to the Old Firm? I don’t know but it’s not our look-out. It may not be your look-out today, maybe not tomorrow, but once you’ve been in the seaside league as long as Airdrie (and been as piss-poor in the park, which at least you’ve given a good go at without actually getting there) it may be your look-out the day after next. I gave up for the best part of a decade before returning to the fold but I expect not many return after a break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we find a 20+ a season striker we’re stuck. The board needs to show some ambition and find the finance for it. It's pretty rare for the league winners to have a 20+ goals a season striker that fires them to a title. Last time was Shankland at Ayr, and the only other time in the last decade (couldn't be bothered going back any further) was El Bakhataoui. Bobby Linn managed it at Arbroath but you wouldn't describe him as a typical striker. And if you lose in the play-offs it wasn't because of strikers. Our goals last night were from from 2 defenders, 2 midfielders and Callum Smith who had 11 goals before last night. Infact it was everything but the striking department that beat you last night (on both sides). You are probably right in that a 20 goal a season striker would cover up deficiencies in the team, but it's a stretch to say that's what cost you. Dunfermline's top scorer only had 16 goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be 20 goals but a good striker that scores goals regularly makes a huge difference. Cove had one, Partick had one, queen's park had one and Dunfermline have one. Raith had gullan for the first half of the season who fitted that bill back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like considine at st Johnstone if he was to get freed although probably want to stay in that north east area mind you but someone of that ilk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, to make it clear, I am aware we’re looking at an Airdrie-esque scenario square in the face now except with a support that holds up (no dig intended there). Oh no, Hamilton are down, they will be too strong next season. Oh no, Queen of the South have assembled a decent squad, maybe next season Club such and such have had heavy investment…..

Guest Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 For me, what we need is a band of brothers mentality. McGlynn has gone about amassing a collection of individuals, but with absolutely no team spirit, no common cause. Defence has nothing to do with midfield which has little to do with whoever is up front. Then, he decides to take his tinkering to a whole new level in the most important game of the season. He is waaaay beyond his “best before” date. If they choose to stand by McGlynn, there is going to be a hell of a price to pay, and McGlynn will be getting his excuses ready as to why Hamilton/Cove/Airdrie/QotS have a head start on him. I just cannot see how he can survive this. Even a 5-0 on Saturday (haha) would have us in the Championship with a dud at the helm. Unthinkable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
