El Paso Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I think it’s worrying that it’s just accepted that expectations are a lot lower? I also think that some of the players that wanted away after McLiesh and Elliot left will defo be back to haunt us both Hendrys, Watt, Page, Chinwalu, MacDonald, Cairns, Combe. Maybe if this new found tolerance we seem to have had been given to that team then we’d be in a better position than the dross we’re seeing brought in lately will take us to.Don’t think Coult has the experienceor maturity to get us out of this despite his confidence and the commitees confidence in him. Saturdays result won’t be the last like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturdays result won’t be the last like that. Time will tell if the Penicuik Ath committee was correct in bringing Lewis Coult in as manager. Given the two most previous appointments (both ending quicker than the next), I do wonder what the criteria was in picking Louis as the new manager. His time at Edinburgh Utd does not appear to be a success (?), so what changes this time around? I can only wish him all the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We expected to get a result every match during the last couple o seasons and we made it known we were no happy when we didn’t but now it’s like we just happy to settle with “they tried” “it’ll be up and down”. players not good enough, manager not good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and if you have read the programme notes it sounds like we are not entitled to an opinion they say they know where we are going hopefully in a different direction that I believe we are 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwichbobby Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 At the agm it was explained where we are as a club this year. Wage bill needed to be trimmed and so we’ve signed players that were available and within our budget. This might mean the players we have this year aren’t necessarily at the same league challenging level we’ve been used to in recent years. Couple this with the fact that there are a couple of clubs fortunate enough to be paying super high wages so the players we might have wanted to keep or bring in were made considerably better offers elsewhere. I’d obviously prefer to be higher up the league and conceding less goals, but hopefully we can win enough games to stay out of trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicko23 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I don't think that we are ever going to be in trouble, but that's not what we all want or expect deep down. The manager merry go round of 2023 has set us back big time and its a team in transition. Yesterday we shot ourselves in both feet and both knees in the first 15 min and after that it was game over. Your No1 is missing doesn't help either. Not seen the red card replay but surely that was double jeopardy? You can see that quality in some of the boys brought in lately unfortunately the settling that would be done through Pre-Season is being done in the League. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough about the settling in but I don’t see any quality in the latest signings other than Taylor McKenxie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardlaw has stepped up to the Premier Divison well. Coogans and Gray have it but need games and the laddie Hall that came on Saturady will be good operator when up to speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwichbobby Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 My understanding is that there are a couple of clubs in the league who are benefiting from outside investment. They can attract the better players and all being well will end up at the top end of the league. We’ve been able to compete wage wise in recent years based on sponsorship, attendance money and so on, but not having another source of income will mean we will fall behind these clubs. Couple that with the fact that we’ve had to spend heavily to meet the demands of the Covid years and licensing requirements means we’re now in the middle of the pack in terms of what we can offer and I’d expect our league position to match that. Add in the management turmoil which has set back this seasons plans and we’re only now getting a squad together which ideally should have been done weeks ago. We are where we are. On the plus side I believe Pollok are bringing several hundred fans through this weekend so we look forward to a grand day out and a boost to the coffers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we stop losing goals at the rate we are then I think a middle of the pack league position is unlikely unfortunately. accept the point about the turmoil but sadly the squad is well short - get what you pay for I suppose Heres hoping for a bounce back against inverkiething next week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
