Dons_1988 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Nobody can really be surprised with that. It’s the same thing in all of these games. Sometimes we make a necessary change to chase it and it works, but ultimately we keep doing the same thing over and over and over. Genuinely mental. He’s finished for most people but the board will likely be the last to catch on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I’d at least hope someone has called Steve Cooper, even if it’s just to be laughed at and told to GTF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk around me cheered him going off. We can say he's expected to do too much but his legs aren't making up for his lack of technical ability. There was a shift when he went off. Dante is doing things with one touch. Shinnie was taking two to get it under control today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante is doing things with one touch. Shinnie was taking two to get it under control today. We’ve asked way too much of him both in terms of role and minutes on the pitch. It was criminal not sourcing a replacement for ramadani. The midfield 3 just doesn’t work, it’s mental that he doesn’t see it. I also don’t really care if Barron isn’t signing a deal, why wouldn’t we use him? He’s not the first or last player to leave us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get the ball at the back and the nearest player is usually twenty yards away. Nobody takes it short, bounces the ball back and moves. Everything is set up to play along the back, hope you draw them out of position then go long. Too predictable. It's never his tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STFU_Donny Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 That was absolutely shite today. No fight, no passion. Robson GTF! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 That was the last straw for me. He will get the County game, we might not lose, and then we will set up with 7 defenders against Clyde in the Scottish cup. I'm absolutely done with the idea of passing it around the back, giving it to Clarkson (if he can find space) and then bloooooootering it forward. Its dreadful to watch, teams are very wise to it. Fucking hell, we made Gogic look like Maldini today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Shinnie for everything he's done for the club however "we've got Shinnie for another two and a half years on a presumably good wage" is definitely a concern I have. Maybe we are asking too much of shinnie and/or maybe his recent downturn in performances is due to Ramadani's departure in the summer. I'd personally drop Shinnie to the bench and start either Polvara or Barron ahead of him. I also don't care if Barron isn't signing on as he's a good player so lets play him whilst he's here. We had 6 weeks to replace Ramadani in the summer. Scandalous that we didn't. I think his departure has shown how key he was to our limited success last season. He clearly had a positive influence on Shinnie and Clarkson. We desperately need to replace him this January. What's frustrating is that we actually have a good squad of players more than capable of finishing in the top 3. Robson needs to go.

lubo_blaha Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Perfect time to sack him. Winter break gives us a couple of weeks to identify and recruit the next guy. Add in a defensive midfielder and a competent manager can lead this squad to third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, most of his teams have been a 4-2-3-1, and I just get the feeling (although based on nothing remotely scientific) that he would be a good fit for this group of players. It is a bit wanky, but 'culturally' he feels a good fit for the club too. Cormack has shown that he isn't a serious person, so I don't think we have to worry too much about major structural changes for now or having a non-pretend DoF, so hopefully that wouldn't be too much of an issue for him. I wouldn't be against Mowbray either, actually, but it just feels less likely that he would be open to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorie Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Has to be the end now. I know cove fans have a moan of their board for being a jolly boy ls club and showing no interest from the the fans in the terraces. Let’s know become the same way with the Cormack brigade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume Mowbray would be warned off by his brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
