Guest Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I have never been a fan boy, but nor have I been overly critical of him. That first defeat to Kelty was for me, the first sign of why McGlynn manages where he does. The last half dozen games have done it for me. He has started to show his true limitations. Sorry, but he is fast tracking himself down the road to being our latest managerial flop……and it’s 100% his own fault. We simply cannot continually come out with excuses why it has been difficult for him. He has brought in 17 players, so that is seen as difficult for him. If he had been budget constrained and could only have brought in 7, then that would have been difficult for him. The BoD have backed him to the hilt, and he is failing badly. Resting players is ludicrous. This was the game to nail second. Win this, and rest players against Alloa. He has screwed this up completely, and has sold Burrell down the river in the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as frustrated as anyone by some of the decisions and performances just now but there's absolutely no way we should be sacking mcglynn . The players have been way short since the Dunfermline game and need to up their game. We should still have had more than enough in that starting 11 to beat Edinburgh. I wouldn't get rid. But he absolutely has to get it right this summer / next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Getting exactly what we desevre from this game. I'd give pass marks to Kennedy out the first 11 but that's it. Edited April 18, 2023 by Rizzo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not been good enough for weeks now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how much his time at Celtic changed him. When he was at Raith originally he was renowned for hard working sides, he didn't really like wingers and he'd had have two grafters upfront chasing the ball into the channels (Had his best success with Tade and Baird?). He has a couple of less than stellar managerial appointments before becoming a scout with Celtic. After a few years with them he comes back as a manager who loves a 4231, plays with wingers and he's all about that possession. And he's pretty good at it, he starts the season off well, however teams then work him out and he's got absolutely no plan B, no alternative. I get that learning under Brendan Rodgers would've been enlightening but it seems he only has one way to play now. From a players perspective it must be mentally taxing after a while, you start to realise there's only one game plan and you're going to play that way every week through a whole season. I'll make no secret that I don't like John McGlynn as a person, however I think he might be quite overrated as a manager. If you kept the squads and swapped the managers I'm certain McPake would've gotten Falkirk promoted. And while typing this Edinburgh win, thank f**k were not going through the rigmarole of the playoffs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh and Peterhead are the only two sides that we have completely dominated this season, so we need to do it one more time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
