parsforlife Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Grant got 7 points from 12 games. Hughes has got 15 from 14 games. That’s a significant difference, even if hughes record is still shit. Edited March 17, 2022 by parsforlife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hughes hasn’t been good. He’s been an improvement on Grant. Both things can be true. I personally don’t think he’d want to stick around for a season in League 1 but I guess we’ll cross that bridge when it comes to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per points per game, Grant 'achieved' 0.59 and Hughes is currently on 1.1. Christ that's absolutely stinking. Like both of them are, but Grant's is really, really bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Two home games in a week now. No excuses are valid from here. Shit ref decisions or hitting woodwork doesn't wash for me. Despite these issues we must find away to win games. Got to defend better at crosses which have been a real issue all season. The players need to grow a pair when presented with chances/half chances too. We need to take a shot more often than trying to pass around the whole defence. Hughes needs to change his system to allow us to get more players in the box when we attack and get forward with more pace. Genuinely think it's our last chance to put a few wins together and trying staying up automatically.

Stellaboz Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Agreed, 6 points is a must from the next two games. No excuses, no blaming referee decisions, go out there and beat the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More points, goals and wins and less goals conceded comparatively. He's still been poor though. If we go down and there isn't a relegation clause, not sure he'll leave, as where would he go? Another relegation on his CV ends his chances of any decent sized job again surely? Whereas if he stayed and somehow got us back up, he could easily claim that the relegation was the fault of Grant due to the stinking team he was left with (that has some truth to it too, but Hughes can't be absolved of blame despite what he may claim if ever asked). 3 hours ago, Grant228 said: Christ that's absolutely stinking. Like both of them are, but Grant's is really, really bad. Aye it's an absolute shocker. Grant is the worst manager in our history. Hughes will not be remembered favourably at all should he take us down and leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Aye, we need to win the home games v Morton, Ayr, Raith and Queens to have any realistic chance of staying up automatically. Even then it might not be enough with all the teams capable of getting wins from somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, got the same one. So fucking lazy honestly. I know the club are short-staffed but you’d be better doing nothing than that. Same issue on social media; it’s obvious all the posts are scheduled in advance and it’s not being taken as priority or any attempt made to create unique or interesting content. That is a *big* issue because a lot of stuff you can do on social media is cheap or even free. It’s one way you can help grow the “brand” without being hamstrung too much by being a smaller club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can do so much better. I emailed the club about my concerns over the direction we were going with fan engagement being part of that. Was told that they were surprised that there was any concern of fan engagement because they held the Q&A and put an article on the website for it and put some posts up linking too it.

Chubbychops Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) My only caveat to the crowd prediction is that the club may well be adding paying ticket sales to season ticket holder sales. I do know two season ticket holders that are sitting the house getting pished watching the game, rather than giving their struggling team a bit of backing. There may be other that do the same.

Cardle is Magic Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I’d be happy being in a crowd of 50 tonight if you could promise me we get all 3 points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Big queues outside the NW because the club can’t handle bigger crowds on the rare occasion they happen. The broken light between the Norrie and NW also hasn’t been fixed since October. I really wish we acted like a serious football club at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Since I’ve been critical of him this week, it’s only fair that I mention that Chalmers played much better tonight, had more fight about him and did help drive us forward at times. Hard to really fault the players, luck wasn’t on our side though. O’Hara hit the post, had the offside goal and we had a few decent chances. The goal we conceded was also just awful to concede, rather than being a good goal. Having said that, if Muirhead hadn’t come off the front post, he blocks that on the line. Morton will probably be really disappointed to concede the equaliser in that manner.Manager had to make changes much earlier and had to make more than one. Midfielders in the middle of the park were dead on their feet for the last 20 minutes. Just get fresh legs on. He’s too bloody stubborn and just seems to absolutely hate making subs. If he’d made subs earlier and freshened things up, I think we’d have had a real chance to win. McCann took his goal well and looked really up for it - their defenders were being challenged for the first time all night once he came on. We absolutely have to go 2 up front on Tuesday. No time for excuses or playing it safe, we need to have a go at Partick and do all that we can to get 3 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Sorry but Yogi is a fukin clown. The same predictable shit for 80 mins. He then put McCann on and surprise, surprise, we score a goal with two up top. Over complicating a the Scottish Championship. He just doesn't get it. This team mixing it up a bit and getting more direct and more men in the box could win games but his default pishy slow passing system is sending us down. Fans have been saying it for weeks but he can't find the balls to start that way. He's only comfortable doing it with 10 mins to go. Get him to fuk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The refusal to make subs until the 80th minute is absolutely baffling. Out of his depth, thinks players at our level can play early 2000s Barcelona tippy tappy pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
