CallumPar Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Not so sure you go out your way to sign Donaldson and Ambrose and then drop one of them they’d both fully be expecting to play?Yogi publicly stated that he would rather play Ross Graham at left CB than a Lithuanian international who has played in all 4 clean sheets we’d kept this season (at the time of interview), because Ross Graham is left footed. Worth noting, that Breen kept his place until getting covid, despite the fact that we conceded 14 goals in his first 5 starts for us. Before we somehow kept a clean sheet v Raith.Under Yogi, we conceded one goal in the 2 games Gaspuitis played - a penalty, which the SFA later admitted shouldn’t have been a penalty (Dorrans red card rescinded). We conceded 3 in each of Breen’s first 2 starts under Yogi - Breen was directly involved in a few of them too. Yogi also said at one point that Breen was playing because Ross Graham was only here on loan and we need to look after our own. This is despite sticking with Connolly (who’s loan deal was only until January) and dropping Gaspuitis - who was under contract for the next 18 months. Of course, Gaspuitis then asked to have his contract terminated, due to lack of game time.He seems to be great at making terrible decisions and sticking with them, even when it doesn’t work. See McCann on his own up front for 90 minutes every week, despite the fact we haven’t scored from open play since Yogi’s first game. Also see Matty Todd being involved every week. Another example is signing Lawless, who complained about being put through the middle at Motherwell, and playing him in a central role every game since he signed.Style of play is another big issue - we don’t have the personnel (particularly in midfield) to play this passing game, but he’s still sticking with it, despite not signing any midfielders. But yeah, back to my point - don’t rule out the idea of signing 2 players, but only playing one of them at a time. That would be far from the dumbest thing he has done/is doing at the club.We’re also reportedly considering loaning our best striker to you guys. Why do you expect any of our other transfer activity to make sense? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His main issue is fitness and recovery, he struggled to get through 90 minutes with us and that definitely wasn't a club related fitness issue. You'd be lucky to get 90 minutes out of him weekly, let alone thinking of playing in two games in one week. He'll fit in well at Dunfermline, most of their players appear done at this level. Look at their league position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Listening to Yogi's weekly interview. Detect by the tone of that interview that the size of the task he's got is hitting home. The transfer window is turning into a bit of a nightmare. Hitting dead ends. Doesn't sound like anything is going to happen soon. He's looking for more guile and physicality. He's hoping that things heat up towards the end of the window. Can't see how we are going to get past another 2-3 games with this rabble of a squad picking up points. We could be detached by the time we get players in. What a horrible horrible season this has been. The footballing matters at DAFC have been handled terribly. A complete shambles in the boardroom and in the dugout.

You only have to look at the Boards hiring of Peter Grant as manager. Surely to god relegating Alloa was a clue on not to touch him with a 40 foot barge pole but they went ahead and now you're paying the price infortunately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 What an absolute shambles of a club we are. Get Hughes so far to f**k, and ensure that every single person responsible for hiring him and Grant go with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 What an utterly bizarre decision. Not the only one that has been made this season. The board must have all lumped the budget on us getting relegated or something. That’s the only reason I can think for us hiring Grant, subsequently hire Hughes, and then get rid of one of our better players in January, whilst signing dross like Donaldson and nothing else halfway through. Fucking madness. Are we trying to outdo Falkirk? Because we are on the same wavelength. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Selling your better players for money and loaning your best striker out are very different. Sending your most talented striker out on loan when you’re struggling at the bottom of the league suggests some horrendous mismanagement of players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Unless this allows us to get Cummings or someone with the same goalscoring history in this league (can’t think of any off the top of my head tbh) then it is an absolutely shocking bit of business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
