diegomarahenry Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 An Morton win on Tuesday and an unlikely Arbroath win on Wednesday could see us 9th, Below Morton. At least we put plenty of effort in today though. If Smith and Mathie are going to keep polishing this turd then they better be planning on spending big in January because this shower of shite isn't picking up points with Bullen in the dugout and the longer this goes on, the worse it looks for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 It was better than the home game against them. f**k knows why Bullen replaced our focal point while we were having our only half decent spell in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 No one expected us to get anything today but we put all our cards on the table early, went at it and fell short early on. Didn't look like really scoring and the substitutions were weak. But looking at the bench, that is all we have. Every sub was almost a downgrade and we got further away from a result. The goal was another shambles. You could think, if we cut out the mistakes, we'd be a half decent team. This team has been making these mistakes continuously for several months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-ish Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I'm thankfully working so wasn't there but I don't think this is the game where we see Bullen walk/get pushed. Dundee United away is probably the only game in the league where I'd not expect anything from. It's the games against the shite, Morton, Airdrie, Arbroath that we have to win and I don't see us doing that. Said at the start of the season he'd be gone by the new year but it won't be this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 Not a terrible result but it’s another defeat and we’re slipping closer to the bottom two. It just feels inevitable that he leaves and I’d say we need 4 points from the next two games as a bare minimum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The support appreciating yet another defeat when you consider the position we're in is crazy, no doubt a hard working 1-0 defeat will keep Bullen in a job for another week. I looked around myself today and I could see that the majority of the folk that were there are only there for a day out, as is the case with most away games. That’s why they clap like seals after every defeat. Today wasn’t bad. We’ve seen plenty worse. But I can’t think of many games over the years where I’ve gave as little of a f**k as I did today. Didn’t expect anything, didn’t get anything. I have no excitement right now for any of our games. Relegation battles where you’re fighting to just maintain the status quo are as bad as it gets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 If the clubs special offer on match tickets were £4 for two games rather than save £4 over two games, I still doubt the Airdrie game would break 1200 folk. The Airdrie game is completely winnable and we need to win it but the whole club needs a boot up the arse. No home games in over a month and barely a home win in 2 years, away form has taken a dip and folk just can’t be fucked. Something big needs to happen to get folk excited about going again but I’ve no idea what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have to come down to a mixture of a change in the dugout and some decent activity in January. Even then this season is already a write off which isn’t ideal when next season is going to be all about the grand opening of a new stand that they’ll barely be able to fill because no one is interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 That's Veldman away from QP. ICT, Arbroath and now QP acting on what they see as concerning form and stagnation around the club. If we're not careful things could start to look really ugly by the start of the new year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Queen Park are the most comparable to where we are. They finished 3rd (same points as us) and now sitting a 1 point behind us in 8th with a GD 3 worse than ours. Questions should rightly be asked of our boardroom. Things simply cannot continue as they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it would barely create half a page on here due to the complete apathy. Hints at movements would be a benefit, signs that they are trying to improve at least would be a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no chance of any rumours going around for a club our size until late December at the earliest. There are plenty things to rightfully criticize Bullen, Smith and Mathie for but this isn't one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
