Fawlty Towers Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 7 minutes ago, Third Lanark said: I dont think we can really pin too much on Dan McKay being out. While he has looked good he has not been brilliant and the one thing i remember most about his contribution this season is missing a complete open goal against Motherwell when it was harder to miss than score. He also does have a bit of an injury history with other clubs. Not ruling out that he might not be a brilliant player for us but i think someone like Lawless has been a far far bigger loss than McKay I don't think I said him being out was the sole reason we are not playing well but his pace and skill on the ball would at least have given us another option to change things during a game and it was an unexpected injury whilst we knew Lawless was going to be out. Anyway, what we can agree on is that so far there has not been one combination of players that has really clicked which needs to change.

We have got worse and it’s clear to see ! Any better than what? He's been a great signing. To be fair the defence isn't the issue. I'm more worried about the bagel (midfield) and the supply to BBG, and there is an argument about BBG perpetually starting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen1876 Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Why did we sign Liam Smith? He has had 10 minutes at Falkirk so far when we are creating very little 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljaggo Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 If the Club decides to change managers at some point, please let the new one not be another "club legend". I would prefer someone from outwith Scotland or even the UK to give a completely different approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say defence isn’t the issue, the issue is all over the park and it’s down to Doolan. It’s a ******* shambles. 10 points off the top already. Be easy enough to call it a season at 8th for us if we can and take a huge loss. They’ve gave Doolan a decent budget and he can’t manage the players.

Stanway also did well after he came on. Much more urgency, if not effectiveness, from us after their goal. Pity it had to wait so long. Milne not up to his usual excellent standard, nor was Megwa as good as he was last week. Overall we lacked fluency. Some promising individual passages of play, but we could not seem to stitch it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen (just the home games) it has been bursts of individualism rather than 11 guys working in a co-ordinated fashion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Just listened to Dools on Jagzone, and we have a tough game v Livingston next week, his words, so that's the excuse in already, when we get humped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 3 hours ago, Jag36 said: No idea why we don't just go 4 at the back with macbeth turner centre mid and take it from there.. makes no sense that we've suddenly changed to this '3-5-2' now we've got 2 decent centre backs freeing up macbeth to move back into midfield and a good right back. Doolan needs to start learning a bit faster 3 games with that formation and its not looked good McBeth can’t play midfield - at least when he did we just shipped goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Col Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 The way I see it is either we have a squad of good players and the manager isn’t getting the best out of them, or we have a squad of diddies who the manager has assembled. Either way, it’s down to the manager. We can’t risk waiting till the end of the first quarter. Does anyone really see anything changing for the better in the next few weeks? Now is the time for change. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenski Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Basically the club's simplistic strategy of of going all in this season because there's no big fish in the league has completely unraveled. It's no surprise it has, given how competitive the Championship is. And at some point sooner or later, Doolan will be left carrying the can, because that's what football does. I preferred it when were talking about a 5 year plan and incremental season on season improvement. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordanhill Jag Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 (edited) 5 hours ago, Third Lanark said: My fear is if we leave it too late we end up missing out on a decent manager like Ian Murray or Rhys McCabe which gives the board an easy excuse to appoint Brian Graham. I have no problem with someone like Murray or McCabe appointing Graham as their assistant manager which would be their sole choice- no problem if they chose not to do so. But Graham shoehorned in as manager which I can forsee happening is completely unacceptable as far as I am concerned and shows we have learned nothing According to the New Club General Managers Notes - outwith the Club Football Staff - there is a separate “ Football Committee” so in essence -we do not actually know who is influencing or making the Football Decisions who is on it ? Why do we have one ? What expertise do they bring ? In a Football Club - the Manager gets a Budget - the Boards role is to maximise the Budget - beyond that they have no say in Football matters but at PTFC we have a “ Football Committee” who are not part of the Club Football Staff So maybe we should not be so critical of the manager as we don't actually know who is calling the shots who needs to worry about boring stuff like balancing the books -when you get to play Football Manager 2024 with a real squad ?
