NeilDAFC Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 An absolute disgrace tonight. Both ourselves and Dundee would be up and challenging against Hearts this year had either of us had a competent manager in charge. Raith had the sense to appoint someone tried and tested when Falkirk decided to appoint McCracken and Miller. This ridiculous fad of giving former players their first crack at management has caused more clubs than ourselves this season and as a result Rovers have been able to capitalise on teams with bigger budgets just by appointing someone who knows what they are actually doing.Crawford has to go now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Crawford is highly regarded as a coach and, before he was appointed manager, I thought “Well, who knows maybe he has something to offer” but that is quite evidently not the case. He’s clearly a man that can’t manage teams. It is a massive difference between coaching and management. Not entirely against the idea of Levein to steady the ship and make us at least fucking competitive until the end of the season, but would rather get someone in that can get used to his surroundings and prepare for a title challenge next season. Stewart Petrie is the man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The Levein suggestion can get squarely to f**k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I still don't understand the opposition to Levein. Petrie is a non starter on two counts, He's not coming full time and we wouldn't pay the compensation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I think Crawford can get away with being a cautious defensive manager. That's not good enough for teams looking for promotion. The last two games and a couple other games, he's tried going two up top and the whole team goes to pot. He doesn't have a clue on how to set a team out to attack and keep a decent shape. That was the worst I've seen since the season we came 7th in league 1. If the board don't act before Saturday , then their time should be up too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current guys have done well in the recovery of the club after admin but not taking it forward in the championship. I can't see how they can keep Crawford on after this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I think the board need to be seriously talking about who takes on the job in the summer. Crawford leaving is inevitable but I don’t think we’ll gain much letting him go now, by the time someone else comes in and gets their ideas across the season will be just about over. As for Crawford, IMO he has felt the need to score more goals, and in recent weeks that has involved throwing more attacking players into the starting line up, but without giving them a game plan, Result is we are still not offering enough in attack, tho now we are defending badly on top. Worst of both worlds. I think we’d be best go back to a midfield 5 and try and get a foothold in games again. I know that’s not going to be popular but it’s probably our best chance of getting points until the end of the season. It might not be the best way for us to play, but it will be the best way for us to play until we have someone who can organize our attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in a similar rut under Davie Hay with less games and a change of management saved our season with 3 games to go. This team has lost it in a similar way. We still have good players and in a position to turn it around and get in the play-off. A fresh face with different ideas could give everybody a lift. Even if it's a job for the last few games.

DAFC. Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Change of manager needs to happen now. There is no way Crawford can keep his job after that tonight. Leishman saved us with 3 games to go in 2005. Things CAN be turned around, but it would take something quite spectacular. I’m more hoping a new man comes in soon to start getting the wheels in motion for a proper go at it next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Trying to think if I’ve ever felt more embarrassed to call myself a Dunfermline than after tonight. 5-0 defeat to Hamilton Accies at home, 2-1 defeat to the Icelandic fishermen and League One 7th place finish probably the worst I have ever felt as far as I recall. This definitely feels similar. Wasn’t around, thankfully, for the dark days of the early to mid 80s. This must be a teddybear’s picnic for the stalwarts that stuck it out in them days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in your shoes, I'd be looking for Crawford gone and Petrie in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn has learned from that and now prefers a different style of play to his first stint with us and then Hearts.

You might agree that Iain Munro for example was also an outstanding coach who couldnt manage a haggis supper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
