D'Jaffo Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 How about worst performance of the season? I'd say the candidates are Friday's defeat to Ayr, the cup debacle in Kirkcaldy or the home defeat to the worst Falkirk side in living memory with *that* Andy Ryan miss.You were far worse in the 4-1 game at Somerset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 The Ayr game at home was just abysmal. We had no ideas at all. We looked beat from the kickoff. Add to that our best player injuring himself and the low apathetic crowd. Never seen such a quiet crowd after a game. Only two more home games, hope we turn up for the Falkirk game otherwise it could be a doing. Only positive would be a complete clear out. Would like to see Davidson and Crawford as the main two but suspect Davidson will leave. It’s possible he’s behind the good defence as it coincided with him appearing? If you look at ICT and Ayr you can achieve good results with little money. I’m utterly sick of us wasting cash every season on shitey players who can’t even make the bench. It needs to stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does seem close to impossible, though. At least you probably played well that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players can't get themselves up for a Falkirk match then there really isn't much point in them putting on the shirt tbh. That being said, I saw how they played in the 0-1 defeat and this Falkirk side is much better than that one. They'll almost certainly need a result as well. I know he'll get the gig but I'm not convinced at all by Crawford. I watched that game on Friday and the team was totally flat and I had no idea what we were even trying to do. He probably needs a summer to get his own squad together before we make any judgements I guess. Could still see McNamara given the gig before too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was supposed to be involved in recruitment so if he had any say in Blair and/or Anderson then fair play. Any impact he could have should be seen over the summer; will he get us some gems or will we have a Falkirk-esque approach and sign a bunch of useless nobodies from down south? 22 minutes ago, Rob1885 said: 1 hour ago, Poet of the Macabre said: How about worst performance of the season?

The three I mentioned were terrible displays against pure shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got told he's also giving the board footballing advice, we don't have much experience on the board with regards to how a football team operates, we post profits but from what I got told the board were aware that they make decisions that are wrong on the footballing side, like giving AJ a 2 year contract etc. I don't think he's on a permanent payroll as such. Really I have absolutely no idea tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm just being cynical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Which players are signed up for next season and who is out of contract in the summer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Still signed up are: Thomson, Devine, Hippolyte, Beadling, J Longridge, Ashcroft, Smith and have an option on Scully (as seen with Aird last sseason, said option might not be worth the paper it's writtten on) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I'd keep Beadling, Thomson and Scully.The rest can beat it. Maybe Jackson L I'd keep too but f**k me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Jackson Longridge your new scapegoat? You went a bit quiet on Devine. We should definitely be keeping him. He's a good player who has had poor games because his confidence has been knackered along with the rest of the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Big moment in Ryan Williamson's career. He's 23 now and he's not progressing at the rate people expected or hoped. I think his injuries have really hit his confidence quite badly and he looks so hesitant to make his trademark runs down the right. Yet, even on Friday, we looked so much more dangerous when he tried to get past his man and take on the full back. I'd keep him but I feel he should have been on the verge of a big move by this point and he's gone backwards. I have faith that with a run of games and a bit of confidence, he can return to the player we all know he can be. I know he's not the greatest defender in the world but I don't think he should need to be if we have a strong core at the back and in midfield. Will definitely be some big changes in the summer and some big names in the squad could and possibly should be moving on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would absolutely offer Craigan and Lewis Martin a contract. I'd genuinely consider Faissal and Andy Ryan but it's already clear they don't work as a partnership but I think when he's played more as a 10 he's been far better, Andy Ryan has a not bad goals to game ratio and I genuinely believe he'll score goals wherever he goes next. That'd be it though, get the rest away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 J Longridge started superbly, form dropped off a bit but still been a consistent performer (on of only a few). The 3-5-2 really suited him but nobody else it seemed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
