SandyCromarty Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 What a massive difference in the team from where we were not that long ago, the positivity, flow and confidence leading up to our goal was outstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Gabriel Batistuta is another top level player who was very good at his job but was never particularly, a fan of the game. Edited November 5, 2023 by jagfox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) I knew we hadn’t scored much but bottom out of all the SPFL is brutal Edit: just realised it’s total goals per game and not just how many we’ve scored, idiot Edited November 6, 2023 by Central Belt Caley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin have also scored 8. Hopefully we can soon bump this total up using our patented low cut backs to the penalty spot/edge of the box.

TheScarf Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Becoming hard to beat and stop us giving away stupid goals caused by individual errors (fresh air swings at the ball/passes straight to opposition strikers) was Ferguson's first task. Dropping Devine and Delaney from the 2 centre half births has hopefully seen to that. Scoring more goals is his next task IMO. We need another striker to help McKay. Samuels is injured too often and Lodovica is Highland League standard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other time has been in the cups 2-1 home win over Bonnyrig, 3-2 home lose to Airdrie and a 4-2 away defeat to Arbroath in the Challenge Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodoivica is just hopeless god knows why we signed him. Maybe once Sheridan gets more sharp and fit he can help Billy out. Luckily we have Shaw and Wotherspoon to contribute but we need more then that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, apart from his purple match from March to May 2022, which saw us get to the Premiership Play Off final, I'd be happy to see him go and use his salary to get someone else in. Lodovica was a Robertson signing I believe. Another good reason to not renew his contract when it expires in June. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 With Duncan's wealth of experience at a high level plus his contacts throughout the game where does Robertson fit in if at all other than drawing a wage we could use right away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBeastie Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I think Robbo will leave at the end of the season. I noticed that Dodds was 'Head Coach' while Dunc is 'Manager', I think that maybe suggests Dunc taking on much of the Sporting Director's role, certainly on the football side at least. Udjur has proved to be a really positive signing so far. I think the impact the new manager has had on the existing players has been huge, even just listening to him talk after games is night and day to the previous manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post game interviews are full of positivity now compared to Dodds's excuses and blame. All very encouraging for players and fans, long may that continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just the positivity, after the Utd game he was explaining why he'd went with 5 in defence with 3 centre backs, explained the reasoning behind it and how it had worked (which he was really positive and pleased about), it was good to hear that. Like I said, a big difference to the previous manager. To be fair to Dodds he was mostly very positive in his interviews, the problem was he was often being positive about negative results! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of interviews I recall where Dodds noted the problem with the players / formation / tactics in specific games but seldom seemed to do anything about it. Hugely frustrating at times to hear him state he saw there was a problem but seemingly did nothing about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 There never seemed to be any clear game tactics under Dodds, I recall Broadfoot openly criticising the players after one game saying it was nothing to do with Dodds and the poor result was the fault of the players and now we know that was a crock of shit when we have the same players turning out good games under a manager who knows his job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
