Squirrelhumper Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 22 minutes ago, GCM said: We have rookie manager at this level, a rookie Head of Football, a disastrous summer transfer window, a disastrous exit from Europe, a team who have lost 5 league games in a row, no (zero, zilch) goals in the same time, smallest squad in the league, 150th anniverary non event. It's taking the club long time to learn from the mistakes. Not much you can disagree with there. Depressing how much we've made an absolute arse of the last 7 months. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Gallagher has been excellent this season - he won't be coming our way. I don't know how this sits with Gerrard's quotes today about Jones coming into contention.

Souleycouley93 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Just needing 1 or 2 more to leave before we can’t even fill a bench. With five ?players contracted for next season. 4 players on loan and over ten out of contract in June it’s very concerning. Even our manager is out of contract in June. We have the coach of the old manager as our assistant. The fall from grace has been unbelievable. The amount of mismanagement to get to this stage in such a short period after our best seasons in 50 years. You couldn’t write it. The board can take plaudits when we do well and they deserve pelters just now. Not commemorating a massive 150th anniversary. Coming out with wild comments about having best manager in Scotland then get beaten from a welsh pub team. Since that result it’s been totally downhill. Along with the shambles of the ticket saga and our reluctance to sign any decent players. Fowler has been brought in as I assume the board realised they have no idea about football. He is now to be in charge of signings and take the fall if all goes wrong. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I had a read at Dyers interview. How does a player buy into what we are trying to do when we don’t have a clear identity. The one or two isn’t sitting well. We needed more than that before four left. Hopefully it’s just a figure of speech trying not to make us look desperate.

Dyer, who had been the assistant at the club initially under Steve Clarke and then Angelo Alessio , has made it clear where he needs to strengthen the squad this month. He said: “We need to bring one or two in, without a doubt we need to have a more potent strike force. He also says later on.... “We have quality in areas I’m happy with and there are one or two where we need to bring players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter where the teams confidence is atm. What is said in the media and what is said behind closed doors is night and day. Our identity since Clarke has always been be compact and hard to beat first then try to pick teams off. He said we are going to try get back to that.

Wrangodog Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 The bottom line is we haven't brought anybody in and no amount of analysis of what AD said is going to change that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdwatch1965 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I dont mind if it's just 2 or 3 players. As long as they come in and are first team picks and not just squad players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Motherwell are looking at him and not Jackson or Sow tells it’s own story. I doubt very much we beat any other teams to their signatures. Neither could be described as a signing coup. Signing a coo is probably more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudger Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Even the most pessimistic of us would've struggled to predict the situation we are now in at the point SC announced he was off. Spectacular fall from grace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTID1869fc Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Recruitment is the lifeblood of a club like ours and it needs to be treated as the no1 priority, from the top down either playing or non playing and it just feels really amateurish just now. The appointments of JF and AD both sound like they’ve been handled as if they are volunteers and only Karen Costello seems to have been given the job because she has experience in football operations and registering players etc, and we’ve not managed to get much use out of that so far.
