Nelson Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Bullen talks a great game, but he just doesn’t have a clue how to set up a football team. Today was just a re-run of so many games from last season, but now we don’t have Dipo to bail us out. We took a punt on a rookie manager, but more than 18 months down the line, I just don’t see any evidence Bullen is learning, or even capable of learning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 How many "wake up calls" does this c**t need? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 The club now has to front up to today, they can hide behind a lot of stuff while things are seemingly going well but today feels like a direct continuation of the thistle game with a different cast of characters. time for a reboot and some openness. We need a couple of signings this week and a strong performance next week. We need a bit of humility shown and not look like we are relegation fodder come 5pm Next Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 For an opposition manager I thought Bullen gave a decent post match interview 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are so bought into the idea of a long term plan that they won’t face up to short term reality. Which is that Bullen hasn’t a clue and needs to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb123 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Surprised nobody else has mentioned this, only two new players in that starting 11 today to the team that finished last season... and i'm sorry but it's absolutely criminal that we've gone into the first game of the league game with a striker partnership of Bryden and McKenzie who are both nowhere near ready/capable of starting Championship games and scored FIVE goals between them all of last season. That decision making lies with Bullen/recruitment team IMO 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I’d like to hear an honest appraisal of McKenzie from someone who genuinely rates him. What is it you think he’s good at? As far as I can see, he has has no pace, no movement, doesn’t link up the play, never wins a header in the opposition box and has a goals to game ratio of about 1 in 15 (if that). And yet we threw another 2 year contract at him. Don’t get it. McGeady looked more done than Chris Maguire. Whoever sanctioned that signing needs fired. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think the shortcomings with the team is really a collective effort and can't be placed solely on any one thing with the way the club is set-up now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDiego Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Is Alan Power no exactly the type of player that we need in that midfield? Thought Bullen said he wanted b*****d in there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
