big al Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 11 minutes ago, SuperSaints1877 said: Robinson has already told some of our squad they are not wanted next season which is fcuking mental management. Goodwin seems to have done the same at Pittodrie. The Considine shambles, Jet reportedly leaving next week, another report leaked of 4/5 players told they won’t be back next season. Seems crazy with so many games to go. Surely you have to utilise whatever you can get from whats at your disposal until the summer? It is possible also to argue that the team has got worse since Goodwin took over. It’s too early to judge fairly, but there have to be early reservations and let’s be honest, Goodwin has achieved very little as a manager previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run of form, performances and the general awfulness up front at the end of his time was as bad as anything we saw this season. Just call it a hunch Was still the right decision Just sheer ineptitude from the club onwards Still hopeful about Goodwin though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Scott Brown or Naismith but was shot down by fellow Saints fans. Hindsight and all that. Aye, I don’t rate him at all.

If for arguments sake we say we’re equally blunt in attack this season then I think it’s fair to say that 4 clean sheets from 33 games this season and falling behind in nearly every game is the difference. Im not making any argument for him staying, but I’ve been banging the drum all season that we’d get nowhere with our inability to defend so I ain’t stopping now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson to that, list, who any time I do listen to him, seems to be throwing his team under a bus. If there's one phrase that's really getting irritating it's this 'throwing under a bus' thing. Goodwin even used it this week. It paints a picture of people in football as these sensitive primadonnas that can't accept the cold hard reality that others need to in everyday life. Does Goodwin really have to do anything other than pretend that lamentable performance was anything other than completely unacceptable for fear of upsetting the poor wee souls ahead of the last few matches? He has to take a good look at himself today - tactics, motivation, gameplan, substitutions - all questionable for a 'must win' home game against a side on the fraction of our budget.

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking, we don’t want St Johnstone in the first few games. And it’ll be in Perth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Can I just say that as bad as I feel tonight after sitting through that performance today, one thing is giving me a tad of light relief and that’s Hibs also being in the bottom six. I know it’s petty, I know it means nothing, but it gives me a little bit of happiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run of form, performances and the general awfulness up front at the end of his time was as bad as anything we saw this season. There were huge mitigating factors though. - losing Wright - losing Cosgrove - losing Watkins - injuries to Hedges - Lewis, arguably our best player for several previous seasons, completely unexpectedly turning into an accident always waiting to happen. There were at least 4 games where we were looking much the better side until Lewis chucked one in and we lost. That was massive for our season. - The failure of Cormack to back his manager in January, after we'd pretty much lost all our entire creative and goal threat to injuries and transfers. Authority to look for replacements was withheld until the final day of the window, by which time we were reduced to desperately signing rubbish. This was deliberate sabotage by a chairman of a manager he wanted rid of because he wasn't enough of a yes man. We're still paying the price for his naivety and vanity. Following McInnes's demise the same chairman found money to back his protege Glass more extravagantly than any Aberdeen manager in decades. We know how that panned out. Despite all this, we still finished fourth and qualified for Europe last season. There's no good reason to think that following a summer recruitment where he was backed in the way Glass was McInnes wouldn't have been able to drastically improve the side that finished last season. At the start of last season, before his team was stripped of much of its quality by events outside his control, we were playing good football and getting good results.

I really do now think it's between ourselves and St Mirren for 11th. I really can't see where a win is coming from. The players don't seem to respect Goodwin with a number of them (Ferguson and Ramirez especially so today) going through the motions and subbing McCrorie and Watkins for MacKenzie and McLennan was absolutely idiotic management. I am now seriously worried we might be relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of last season, before his team was stripped of much of its quality by events outside his control, we were playing good football and getting good results. Glass lost Hedges to injuries. Then he was sold. Ramsay and MacKenzie were injured for a long spell. Watkins was injured. These things happen. I certainly would not be trusting McInnes to make any signings either. McCrorie aside, I'm struggling to think of any other successes in his last two seasons. Hedges maybe? Bear in mind we got twelve good months over three seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, if it wasn’t Hibs in the bottom six, it would be Motherwell and we have a fantastic record against them this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
