Mark Connolly Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Unfortunately today I realised that I still believe we can stay up. I didn't go as far as celebrating Celtic scoring, but I did shout "Thank f*ck". I feel so unbelievably dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The derby just became a huge game. Win it and we have a shout of getting to the play off spot. f**k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The Derby and the game in hand could turn it all around. Of course the other (and more realistic) outcome is that those two games will send us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Win those two games in 'hand' and the head-to-heads with Killie and Hamilton and we're in the play-off spot and only four points off safety. If we don't win them then, obviously, it disnae matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Has anyone else got the fear that Mixu will be with us next year? My mind is well and truly made up on him. Tactics, signings, substitutions, there is really nothing he has brought to this team apart from maybe making the players a bit more aggressive in terms of our general play but thats about it.

Sir Peh McBridie Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Has anyone else got the fear that Mixu will be with us next year? My mind is well and truly made up on him. Tactics, signings, substitutions, there is really nothing he has brought to this team apart from maybe making the players a bit more aggressive in terms of our general play but thats about it. I sure do. Tried to be supportive but the man has no clue and whilst I've tried to deny it we do seem to be worse under him than Mcnammara. He will not get us promoted next year.

Zetterlund Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I also suspect Mixu will be our overlord in the Championship. I remember saying before McNamara was punted that literally anyone with managerial experience would do better, but Mixu has come in and disproved my theory. We needed someone to organise us at the back first and foremost, get the basics right and make us harder to beat. Instead the new manager introduces an exotic back 3 system which the players are clearly not familiar or comfortable with, and perseveres with it despite it somehow making our defence worse. The icing on the cake being the introduction of Gavin Gunning to the clown show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Originally I wasn't overly critical of the Gunning signing, mainly because we were desperate for defenders when he came in but he has been an absolute disaster. He is a mistake waiting to happen every game. Our shambolic defending has been the most difficult aspect of this season for me, considering we had, for a few years at least, managed to hold together a consistent backline. How I wish for Kalvenes, Dods, Webster and Dillon. f**k knows what kind of recruitment plan we have for the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Mixu has to go even if a miracle happens and we stay up. If not it will be a McNamara situation all over again. Hopefully this time around ST realises that the cost of keeping him is greater than the cost of letting him go. As for Gunning, my predictions were true. Don't like to say I told you so, but I told you so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Gunning was decent for you lot in his first stint, was he not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Gunning was decent for you lot in his first stint, was he not? Gunning has severe psychological issues. That's not a flippant comment, it's a genuine observation. The manifestation of this is him adopting a 'couldn't give a f**k' attitude too often on the pitch.

dregs 83 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thompson won't spend any money sacking mixu, it'll be a case of waiting until his contract is up and letting him go in 2 years unless we're in serious danger of relegation from the championship. Really can't see anything other than wallowing down there for at least a couple of seasons with has beens and dross football chasing faint hopes of promotion. Just hope we scout with more of a long term view next time and keep Gavin gunning or anyone of his ilk as far away from tannadice as humanly possible.

stumigoo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 No, he was not... Thats harsh. He was always decent enough but as Granny points out his head is total mince and his psychological problems have caused him to regress in to a maniac who is a liability both on and (I would imagine) off the field. As a manager Mixu must shoulder the blame for first of all signing him and then secondly starting him every single week. I am like a broken record with this one but how Dillon cannot get in to a team that features Gunning and Morris is beyond me. I don't even know what kind of player I think we need next year given I have no idea as to what system we will be playing or who will still be here come the summer. All in all I have a very, very bad feeling about the next few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
