Parscelona Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hasn't been involved in the team for a month so it was obvious that he wasn't rated by management. I suppose there's no point keeping him around as since he's not a central midfielder, he won't be playing on the wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hasn't been good enough, it's that simple. Maybe if he had been we'd not played a narrow midfield so often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Now that he's gone he'll be canonised by the fans and his ability will be grossly exaggerated. Shame that he's off mind, as I thought he could have been decent for us on the wing, but Parscelona sums it up well as to why that could never happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ignoring the usual attention-seeking posters, it seems most are surprised & a bit disappointed by this news? I know I am. I was quite excited when we got him in the summer but apart from at Cappielow a few weeks ago, he's been largely anonymous. I've no idea about behind-the-scenes stories about attitude etc, but based upon performances alone, it seems like the correct call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordieBoy80 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Not at all disappointed in this. Another waste of a wage like Forbes was. Summed up his season when he came on as a sub, made one run into a blind alley in the hour he was on the pitch and was subbed off again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parscelona Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 "He has a bad attitude" "Can you support that claim?" "No i can't disclose that information yet i have heard reports blah blah blah" Folk just better zipping it if they can't provide any evidence to back up such statements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Being devils advocate is it harder for a winger to play when he's the only attacking outlet at times? Moffat dropping deep, no support from fullbacks. Is he supposed to do it all himself? In a proper balanced system he will do a job. Not sure how Stirling play, he's certainly good enough for them. Look at me, look at me. Hiya da pal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB_Bino Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Delighted at the signing of Stirling, the fact that he is well regarded at every club he has played for.......except Dunfermline, speaks volumes to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely, teams know that if they shut down one side then we're done for, playing with only one attacking outlet from midfield is ridiculously easy to play against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adundeemonkey Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Potter doesn't know what he is doing. As been mentioned, every team plays with balance apart from us. Yet Potter seems to think it is a player problem. Getting rid of Stirling when we are crying out for width is incomprehensible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas 62 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Getting rid of an empty shirt isn't incomprehensible. Signing wingers and not playing them is. Willie Gibson showed today how a winger should play, class act from him today, your defenders found it had to play him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parscelona Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Dunfermline shouldn't be losing 5-1 to a side like Stranraer. On a day when Cowdenbeath lose 10-0, we manage to get an even worse result. If that happened to a similar sized club like Falkirk, Motherwell or St Mirren we would be wondering what is going on and laughing like f**k, which is exactly the type of responses we are receiving (and rightly so) from fans of other clubs. However, the sad thing is that with the absolute shambles we have become, most fans (well the realistic ones anyway) expected us to lose today and by a few goals too. To get to a stage where we as the full time club and the biggest in the league is not expected to take anything against a part time side, just show little confidence and belief is in the management and players. Potter's out of his depth. Anyone who disputes that is either on the wind up or needs placed in the loony bin. Unlike the case for the typical new manager, he's not needed time to adapt to new surroundings. He's been working with these players for a good two years as a coach and he has managed to win two out of ten league games as manager. Constantly changing the team every game and sticking with the stupid system we played under Jefferies is obscene and ultimately, will lead to his downfall. He's not the only one to blame though, we have a squad full of the most spineless players going. As the statistics indicate, whenever they fall behind they can't get anything out of the game. Hopefully the vast majority are emptied at the end of the season as they are abysmal. What do we do until then though? As bad as we are it would take something truly spectacular to finish in the bottom two, meaning the highest we can aim to finish is 5th and lowest is 7th, unless Ayr can put a run of wins together. As such we have heehaw to play for and the crowds will dwindle for the remaining home games as there is no point in the fans turning up. The board needs to identify a suitable manager to lead us for next season in League One as Potter is not a long-term viable option. Hopefully this time, they'll appoint someone who isn't a complete novice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Not even kidding when I say Potter should go right now. I don't know who can come in and replace him but he has absolutely no idea what he's doing. Way out of his depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
