18BAIRN76 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Do we have to? Anything other than a convincing win in this and I think McKInnon's days are over. With the amount of money invested in this squad he has built, it is imperative that we win this league. That goal is in serious jeopardy if he stays in charge. I expect Forfar to do what every team against us (bar Dumbarton) has done so far, and if they do it well there is a high chance they will be successful. We are incredibly predictable and easy to play against. Losing this would not surprise me one bit.
Guest Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Watching the two player interviews post Raith Rovers, there is clearly something very wrong.Body language, interview language......it was all flat. That they “need to play better” was about all they could come out with.The players clearly don’t have on clarity on how things can be fixed, and McKinnon is fast becoming the rabbit caught in the headlights, and nothing in his interviews gives any sense that he knows what he is doing or how he is going to set about fixing it.I think we all know by now that he won’t do very much at all. He is blaming players, and not his duller than dull style of play.If he doesn’t win this, then surely to God his time is up. I think we have all come to the conclusion that his best is not any better than Houston’s worst. He is fast becoming a liability.
ilostmyself Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 And it's a meh from me. Can only hope the stars align like the Dumbarton game.Ray will be feeling the pressure so surely to f**k we'll see some width in the team. Anyone who's every seen a football game could tell you whats wrong with our team.
gav-ffc Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 9 points out the next 3 games or he can bolt.
Sanity check needed. Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 That disillusioned at the moment don't even know who our next 3 games are against
sirscottyoung Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Gonna stick my neck out (not very far in all honesty) and say he won't manage that. Don't even know who yous have but just can't see it. 9 points out the next 3 games or he can bolt.
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Telfer + Gomis in the middle with Connelly + Maclean out wide.
Shadwell Dog Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Well we've struggled so far in the league Dumbarton apart and yet we haven't played any of the sides I would expect to be challenging for playoff spots/title this season so it doesn't bode well. Forfar I would expect to be one of these so its difficult to see how our side which is now drained of confidence by a clown of a manager can suddenly turn it around and get 3 points. The longer Mckinnon holds on the worst we will get as confidence drops further and further . Lets face it we are not going to suddenly click now after ten or so games mainly of dross.
Sanity check needed. Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Can any Forfar fans brighten up this thread please [emoji23]

Kwaka Mal Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Can any Forfar fans brighten up this thread please [emoji23]Nope, from a Forfar point of view, you lads are doing a great job by yourselves. [emoji106]

Clyde and Airdrie both had shit form before playing us and we took one point so you shouldn't be too worried.
champions Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 It's a must win or the fans will vocally turn against McKinnon. He badly needs to change the tactics, we should be putting teams under a high press from minute 1. Whether he does is highly doubtful.

You might need to explain high press to McKinnon I'd question whether we have the players able to do that. Majority would be blowing out their arses after 5 mins.
Guest Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 You might need to explain high press to McKinnon High press and McKinnon go together like goldfish and Tour de France.

McLean and Connelly would provide little defensive cover but we MUST have width. Chances of Ray going with this? 1, maybe 2%.
