RandomGuy. Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Next seasons squad shaping up well already. Levein saying Max and C. Smith were unhappy they didnt start v Dundee so half arsed it when they came on (at 1-0 up in a game we then lost 2-1). Connor Smith was apparently still looking half arsed in a friendly last week.

GK - Mitov, Sinclair DF - Keltjens, Olufunwa MF - Sprangler, Kucheriavyi, Matt Smith, Connor Smith ST - Clark, Kimpioka, Sidibeh, May With question marks over Franczaks contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 That's not as bad as I thought. Punt May then there's plenty room for some proper footballers. If that happens and we stay up then it'll probably mean a few loans to tide us over like the Derby rivals down the road have done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite honestly they can both get to f**k as far as I’m concerned. Neither has done enough to suggest they should be at this level at all, let alone starting. If they’ve done this once, they’ll do it again and again. Punt the pair of them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Is these two have walked off the pitch happy with their performance recently then it's a massive issue. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSJ.84 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 This circling the drain and building a new squad every season definitely doesn’t become exhausting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidReid01 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Again… I’d be wary of the differences between what happens behind closed doors, and what Levein says in the press. He’s an experienced manager who knows how to deal with press and journalists. There’s a reason he’ll say something, and it ain’t for fans to latch on and start calling said players out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet that's exactly what will happen. It's fine saying these things to the players behind closed doors and expecting a reaction from them. It's totally different saying it in public. As soon as anyone deems their performance lacking in any way they will call them out on it whether they deserve it or not. Good or bad management? Time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I don't fear relegation as I can't see any way we stop swimming against the tide as a Premiership club. I've felt that way for three seasons now and, as you say, I'm just exhausted. There are painful moments after every relegation but we've always returned and it's when we do that the foundations laid in the second tier bring us success. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows both players probably most of any in the squad, so will know what kind of boot they need. Neither for me, especially Max, can gave any arguments about not starting. Some others need calling out to be fair, but slightly different situations as these two are still (for now) here for next season, whereas you call out others who will soon be out of contract, they might down tools and we need all of them for the run it. Players need to step up and realise the club is in a massive risk of going down and do they (especially the Scottish ones,) want to be the ones to break the long streak we have been on in top flight? For what it's worth, I don't think we go down even if we finish 11th (I don't think we'll finish 11th) as I think Utd will win the championship and we'd take Raith in the same way we beat ICT reasonably comfortably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine having these conversations behind closed doors, I'm all for calling them workshy grifters to their face. Naming them in the press? What good does that do? It just leaves them open to abuse and folk will have a far shorter fuse with them. What was wrong with telling them straight at training, then in the press saying "a few players fell well short of what was expected from them and they've been warned it better not happen again" ?

Radford Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Doesn't say much for Levein that he's having to call out Connor Smith only weeks after signing him on a multi-year deal. Literally no idea what his position is either. What does he do? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new owner might be a difference and help with a bit of a top league reset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
