I suspect a lot of us are feeling like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go as far back as including Duffy and half of Hopkins time - It's only 13 home league wins since August 2021. 13 wins from 42 home league games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think since McCall left, it would be 19 wins from 66 home league games. I think. My word. Edited November 5, 2023 by AuAl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 13 league home wins since August 2021 would have me guessing the 4 in 2023 (ICT, Accies, Cove and Raith) and then wins against QoS, Partick x2, Dunfermline, Dundee, Queens Park, Arbroath, Raith and who else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in no particular order, wins against - Dunfermline, QOS, Raith x3, Arbroath, Partick x2, Dundee, QP, Accies, Cove, Inverness. Third win against Raith in there. We beat them; 1-0 April 2023 2-0 December 2022 2-0 December 2021 Edited November 5, 2023 by AuAl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Before Bullen's time here is over he will have a rammy with someone in the hub which will lead to a club statement. I think he fancies himself as someone kind of mini Fergie, a statesman like man of stature. Edited November 6, 2023 by UpInTheAyr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrAtlanta Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 As much as I love a good Bullen pile on, the players should be getting absolutely hounded for the circumstances of the equaliser. Reading’s leg was landed on in the passage of play immediately before the goal and he struggled to move after it but obviously had to see the game out. It was clear QP were then going to target that side on their next attack since we had an injured full back. Yet we left him out there on his own to defend 1 on 1 which the guy can’t even do while fit. Young should’ve also took the yellow it’s a no brainer. Simple football knowledge is something this squad completely lacks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was woeful all round, but IMO highlighting smaller things like that completely takes away from the catastrophic f**k up Bullen made of the second half. Reading not having any decent protection was entirely on Bullen too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to remember we are in the Championship not L1 . We are 5th or 6th best resourced club in the league . It’s plain to see you and your wee gang on here want the manager to go .

You need to remember that we were 2-0 up until our manager made some of the worst in game changes you will ever see. What exactly to you want? Everyone to just pretend that he didn’t make an absolute mess of things. And regardless, the bigger picture would then quite clearly show that he won’t ever be able to take us where we want to go as he continually does things like this - just the weekend was the worst one yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I'd argue that 9 home wins in the league over 22 months under Bullen is big picture enough to suggest he is a bit out of his depth. I really want it to come good and tbh the away performances in recent weeks give me some hope - but there is no getting away from how atrocious our home performances and game management can be. It really needs to be rectified soon. Fwiw, I wouldn't want him sacked just now. Edited November 6, 2023 by AuAl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Apologist Bingo: Dig at own fans - Check ("you and your wee gang") Hint at being ITK - Check ("we are 5th or 6th best resourced") Allusions to the mythical Plan - Check ("try to see the bigger picture... because there is one") Not bad in a single paragraph.
