whereismillar Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 quite angry with goodwin today, not for the own goal but persistant fouling and booking before half time, the writing was on the wall but jim didnt see it , jim as a player was fine but jim as a player / manager has been a disaster so far , two sending offs now but ironically better without him and down to ten men ?? makes you wonder, kudos for the way we played second half though, all in all JIM !!!! get to the bench and stay there ! 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KierenAAFC Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I don't think Goodwin's playing days would be over if he didn't take the managers job. Now he has, every pass, foul etc. is under scrutiny. He's always liable to do what he did today and if he's manager he can't afford that. New centre mid needed in Jan & I'm sure he knows that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KierenAAFC Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Also, a new centre back. Goodwin filling in today took himself out the game & Scullion gives me 0 confidence. We need urgent cover there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't seem to be able to change a game. Sticks to the same formation week in week out with his favs ( and himself ) and if it's not working then there is nothing he can do. It was looking good for us at the start of the season but if we don't get rid of Goodwin I think a middle of the table finish is what we are looking at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Get what you are saying, i just hope this makes him consider hanging up his boots ..again , that said handy as a sub, the more i think about our second half display it looked like the "fear" had dissapeared from the players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could do with someone like him up beside spence if Goodwin finally realised his playing days are over and stops picking himself for the good of the team I agree but i think with 4 fit strikers now that will be the last thing he will be after, we should be though especially if were playing long ball. & about centre half i would rather goodwin didnt play at centre half because he is better in the holding role, today i'd have put hoggy straight into centre half, dealt with everything today against arguably the best attacking side in the division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamhain Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Stupid red card at Stenny, lucky with an attempted off the ball elbow against Albion Rovers, subbed before getting a red against Stenny and now a red against Airdrie. Hopefully proved wrong but Jim looks like he doesn't know how to cope with the responsibility of being manager and playing. After the incredible start, the lack of depth in the squad and ability to change tactics seems to have caught up on us. Really need to add 2 or 3 more players in January. Go'on Mike, open the wallet and pinch Liam Buchanan!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't working and we changed it and got back into the game. You really want rid of Goodwin? Unbelievable. There's going to be a spell where he is learning the ropes as a manager-that's life.

I agree that the balance towards high balls feels wrong but for me it's more about hard work to redress that rather than calling for a change that can't possibly be justified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have subbed himself off at half time absolutely.Heard quite a lot of crazy stuff coming out of the ground last night so no surprise really it's creeping onto the web. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it was his call to sub himself against Stenny. Which is what he should have done at half time yesterday. Also, nice to see bigger away supports this season, but a shame that some people are far more interested in spending the entire 90 mins yelling obscenities at the referee and linesmen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamhain Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 It might have been better for Jim to have brought in his own assistant rather than just go with the same old with Paddy. Might make a bit of difference if there is a strong character there that can make the call to sub the boss or change things from the sidelines when required, instead of waiting until it's too late. If he is insisting on playing himself, we need an assistant that can be trusted enough to also make decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stick the ref & Lino got yesterday was crazy. I know everyone hates Iain Russell too but he got more out of some of our fans than our own players. Was angry and disappointed to hear a certain few have a go at Taggs, thought he was one of our better players. Demonstrated that and shut them up with the volley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
