CoveRangers1922 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Mitch off, Jordan Brown on. If the latter scores then it would be even more surprising than the 6 goals before it! 17 year old Meekinson, on loan from Dundee United, also on. He looks like he’s here on school work experience but is a bit of a talent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb yatt Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Full marks to the 30 odd hardy souls who travelled down. One in particular. Cove's ultimate formation of 2-4-4 was impressive.There's a back story to this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to see what KR hoped to accomplish from the way they set out last night. He said he'd make changes after Elgin, but these were reckless. Hoping for luck as the ball is launched long towards Mackin's head again? Surrendering half the park for Cove to move forward without pressure, through an absent midfield and into a shambolic defense? Only when Darryl Duffy came on (admittedly at a time when Cove were sitting back) was there some hint of pressing, as Duffy started positioning the midfielders, something which had been utterly missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 AIt's hard to see what KR hoped to accomplish from the way they set out last night. The two theories I’ve heard, one and the most common one was arrogance and a “I’ll show them” attitude after a host of dire performances, however I’ve actually forgotten the last good performance it was that long ago, it’s certainly not come this season.The other, it was a smoke screen to rest vital players, a given that Cove would win the game anyway so rest players with knocks or tired legs for the run in until the end of the season.I’m not sure which one I believe, but there is no doubt that I looked at that line up at 1930 last night and fear the worst and those fears rang true.Where the club goes from here, I don’t know, as I put in the other thread, the aim was winning the league and we are 32 points off it, KR needs to acknowledge that is not good enough, he’s had his chance and step aside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Sore one for the Binos fans - really feel for you.Out of curiosity is that the first time you've shipped seven goals, say in the last 30 years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping a bunch of players after drab performances can only work if the replacements put on a show. Otherwise “I’ll show them” rebounds into who's shown who? If that was the idea, maybe forgiveable in a new manager 3 games into his job, but certainly not after 18 months of non-progress. 40 minutes ago, BB_Bino said: The other, it was a smoke screen to rest vital players, a given that Cove would win the game anyway so rest players with knocks or tired legs for the run in until the end of the season. The resting explanation gets a bit of support in the post-match interview, but it's not as if there's been a fluidity of team performance that got mislaid last night. And I'm thinking of the final Moore season, when they were playing backlog fixtures every other day, building team solidarity in a way that pulled them across the finishing line. The prospects of that seem utterly remote this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacketsforgoalposts Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Totally agree with BB Bono’s post KR has had more than enough time to get his team in order I think his biggest problem is how openly he slaughters the players instead off doing it behind closed doors and I also think his man management style is very poor everyone at the club wants good results but at the end of the day the buck stops with him as he picks the team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What message does that send to him? What message does it send to those around him? Does it strengthen or weaken the defense? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
