captainkev Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) I have an irritating feeling that we'll contrive to somehow win tomorrow*. It'd be very in keeping with this dumpster fire of a season for them to give yet more totally false hope and drag this shit-show out a little longer. *Can always count on Hibs to royally Hibs it after all.

Alert Mongoose Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) The worst outcome all round. We're going down (as quickly as @Mark Connolly 's ma) but I'm embracing it. Let's be brutally honest - what Is there to win in the Premiership? Europe? Tame plaudits? We are going into a division that is exciting and i don't think we are favourites but we have a chance.

That was an absolute must win for us yesterday as I don't see us picking up more than one point before the split. Still a long way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 A bit worried about what happens if a manager better than Johnson decides to double up on Behich given that he is plan A,B and C. If we stay up Fletcher, Behich and increasingly Ayina should also get statues on the ramp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Fletcher’s post-match comments from yesterday fairly enlightening, though not particularly surprising. …we showed that character against Hibs. That’s down to the gaffer. He has come in and filled the boys with confidence in the weeks he’s been here. Our fitness levels and standards; everything is higher. When the gaffer came in, he said: “Listen, you aren’t fit enough”. We knew that. He’s come in and given us a mini pre-season. The boys bought into it straight away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Good to see Noel Hunt stepping up to the Reading hot seat. Was just looking back at his career - part of me thought he'd been here for longer than just the two seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New managers always seem to claim this. Regardless, why is football the only sport where professional athletes seem to blame their lack of physical conditioning on someone else. If you knew you weren't fit enough then why didn't you get yourself fitter? It's more a reflection of a poor attitude/culture amongst a group of players than it is on the previous manager. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit it’s on the manager to ensure the players are sufficiently fit, regardless of personal responsibility that’s a fairly basic job requirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but the players don't come out if it well either. Claiming 'we knew that' (in relation to not being fit enough) whilst seemingly having done nothing about it is a pretty shameful admission. It's a (not so) subtle way for players to shift blame onto the manager - 'we weren't winning because the manager wasn't making us work hard enough'. An athlete's fitness is ultimately their responsibility. The intensity and attitude in training, whilst being set by the manager, needs implemented by experienced senior pros like Fletcher. You could have the biggest dud ever as manager but the core of the dressing room should at least be ensuring high standards and doing what they need to do to be in peak condition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
