Ferguson and Bollan have been in charge of a full time team for 14 months, They train the players with motivation and tactics day in day out.  You might have noticed we score very few goals, If we could score 1 goal per 6 chances we would not have been relegated.

We play mostly part time teams with a pro squad and we still can't score. The buck rests with the manager.

And yes i am annoyed and frustrated with the shitfest on and off the park. 

" We can’t counter attack we have no pace in the team. We get up to the full backs and no one can go past them to the bye line."

You have answered your question.

Thanks for the reply.

The question was what tactics would YOU suggest. Not seeing that answer anywhere. Are you a politician by any chance.

If only we could buy a win? First half we were decent but not so much 2nd

I’ll be getting paid at the end of this month, I’m not too sure our players will.

I wonder if this affects performance at all? They certainly have more important things to think about.

I don’t really get the whole full time part time thing at the moment. These clubs can cherry pick the best of the part time players while we get what ever we can afford. 
 

Falkirk were in this league for about 6 years as a full time team and they are a bigger club than us. Without the financial difficulties it would probably still be hard to go straight back up at the first attempt.  That’s not where we are though, we are facing administration and our signings for over a year have proven to be not good enough.

Having got home and had time to reflect. £200k, £2m, £2.50. The value is irrelevant, you can’t buy desire and a will to win. We just don’t have either.

We do have some good players for this league. In days gone by Pele was able to motivate players who like many subsequent managers put teams out who punched above our weight.  After the cup final against Celtic - just out of interest for those attending on Monday night 'what happened to the £1m plus windfall?' - we have not seen good players producing for the city or shirt. And I do not blame them.

I'm not a football manager or coach ! I leave these decisions to those with the proper qualifications,  I just don't like what I see on the pitch !

I'm not a politician,  again I'll leave that to the waffling lying crew

As if we are not enough of a laughing stock and to make matters even worse, Arbroath's goal was scored by a man with no head.

Unbelievable Jeff...

<<< It Reilly was, honest Gav...

Astonishing that we didn’t muster at least 1 goal from all those chances.

not really sure the point of the Monday mtg is to go over old ground and seek justifications - its about moving forwards and the strategy to survive. Not dismissing the validity of a deep dive across the finances & decisions but it'll just bog down in mud slinging and deflection of responsibility all while distracting from the bigger priority.

I did hear those words on Sat from Robbo on the radio, which is hugely ironic considering his contract and fact even now he is (allegedly) chasing damages. He's doing well with his Radio Scotland clique to present himself as a 'good guy' in all this with complete deniability of what was happening at the club. As DoF if the players were not good enough for the money invested he had a significant role in who was recruited and also visibility of what remuneration. Shame nobody in the media on a Sat afternoon has the balls to confront him or Dodds (EBT Billy) and call bullshit on their takes - both complicit yet reputations fully in tact

Reckon we should set up another GoFundMe - see if we can get enough donations to buy us a win. Or even a goal!
