I strongly fear not. He is clueless and most of his signings haven't really worked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edzellcityfan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 As I’ve said before, I’m not usually one for advocating getting rid of managers but I'm really struggling here. He needs to pick a shape we play in possession, pick a shape we play out of possession and stick with a core of a team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to pick a shape we play in possession, pick a shape we play out of possession and stick with a core of a team. Last night was brutally awful. A game played in an Arboath-like wind tunnel. Our lot couldn't work out how to play with the wind and crapped themselves playing against it. Forres could and should have won it as they pummelled us in the last half hour . We scored a decent goal in the 5 minute period that we managed to control the ball. After that it looked as if we were just going to settle for the 1-0 win with no real attacking ambition. Forres then just pumped loads of balls high in the air and let the wind create the panic in our defence when it landed . Almost every time the ball was won by a Forres player who managed to lay off easily to one of their wide guys who seemed to have the freedom of the park. It wasn't pretty but it was certainly effective. In these conditions you sometimes have to just forget your formation football and find a way to grind out a result. We couldn't , Forres did. We certainly need a big reaction on Saturday and maybe Price needs to swallow some pride and start playing his strongest team more regularly. We certainly don't have the quality that he thinks to be able to rotate the squad seamlessly . Get back to the basics now and learn how to win ugly . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what my 11 year old son said when I asked him about the game. He only used three words though……. Load of **** 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a general belief in fitba that the hardest part of the season for most championship contenders is securing those crucial final points to make it mathematically impossible to be overtaken. You will see many teams just manage to stumble over the line or indeed blow it in the last few games . This is going to be one of those seasons . Loads of points to be won and dropped before April is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in this league it ain't. Likely (and eventual) SHFL champions lap up the pressure. Points dropped in the last ten games of the season... 2022/23 - Brechin (winners) - 4; Buckie (runners up) - 5 2021/22 - Fraserburgh (winners) - 0; Buckie (runners up) - 2 2018/19 - Cove Rangers (winners) - 4; Brora Rangers (runners up) - 8, all from draws 2017/18 - Cove Rangers (winners) - 6, all after clinching the title; Formartine United (runners up) - 0 If a team is into the home stretch and still fucking up, they probably ain't winning the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the fans have plenty to cheer at full time, they’ve been great all season and we need to keep them onside’.
