Nithsdale Wanderer Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Seems a number of Clubs, on both sides of the border, who see themselves as underperforming and not being where they expected to be at this stage of the season are taking action in the hope of remedying the situation. For some it will work and for others it may not - there are no guarantees. We are in a really difficult position - whether to stick or twist - as it would impact financially I imagine to change Management team but can we afford not to ? We played Alloa (A) at the same point last season and were well and truly thrashed. I suspect many thought Gibson should have gone after that debacle. However, he got a reaction and we stuffed Montrose 4-0 the next week. That was a false dawn though and just delayed the inevitable 2 months later by which time , as it turned out, although there was an improvement we were left with too much to do in too little time to make the play - offs. As far as I am aware , after the Alloa defeat last Saturday, we have less points and are lower in the League than this time last season. Can't speak for the BOD but certainly from a fans point of view I think some are looking on a game to game basis whether MB should be retained or not. I don't think that is a healthy environment in which to operate or to foster a positive culture. We all want to get points on the board but even if we were to beat Kelty - no mean feat given recent record - would/should that be enough to keep MB on given what happened last season after beating Montrose ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes last Saturday. It was poor. As I said 2 terrible performances and he should go. Let’s see what Saturday brings. Putting forward names like Dodds, McIntyre etc makes me want to hang onto Marv at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipmat Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Although I fully expect Bartley to be in post until the end of the season I think the only name that has been mentioned as a potential replacement who is currently available and of whom I would have any faith in is Fowler. His record managing us was better than those of Naysmith, Johnston* or Gibson, and given he has had subsequent experience specializing in recruitment - something that Johnston, Gibson and Bartley have been proven to be abysmal at - I wouldn't be averse to him being given another chance. The downside is that sometimes the football his sides played was pretty excruciating to watch. * second spell That said, whether he would consider working with the current board again is questionable given his previous harsh dismissal at the hands of the same regime.

Some of us have personally witnessed a lot more than that and every game has basically been as bad if not worse. You want to give him the Kelty and Hamilton games by which time we'll probably be in the relegation playoff place, before he has to go? Insane to say the least, you are a Queens supporter are you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to try and give him as long as we can will cost a fortune to pay the rest of his contract.. Do we give Bartley the Jan transfer window to try and inprove the squad or do use that money to pay the remainder of his contract Difficult decision for the board 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual nonsense . Of course. I’ve watched them since 1971 and enter the shirt draw every year. It’s a 5 hour round trip for me to Palmerston. I want the best for us but always have a degree of balance about things. If we are still terrible at end Nov some thinking to do. Football is about divergent views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
