Bottom line, for me, is Neilson needs to be given the season. Barring a disastrous run of results, I’m sure he’ll get that.

We need to nail it this season, of course we do.

But we’ve done the ‘bin a manager a few months in’ thing. It hasn’t worked for us. Neilson needs to stop needlessly complicating things for himself, that I agree on.

IMO, we’ll be within touching distance of top spot all season (due to inconsistencies of others too) so he’ll be going nowhere anytime soon.

Agree to an extent with some of this, in terms of the quality of the league. Not sure if Robbie deserves a season, but he's not getting asked to leave at present.

But ICT are ahead, so he's presently keeping us at the top of the league

I dont think this makes sense at all.  Weve been coming to places like Alloa now for 4 years and putting insipid displays like this out there.  There has to be more to this than just the manager.

Ultimately the players are culpable here too but this shite where we blow hot and cold ia getting to be institutionalized at United.  Great when we've got everything going our way but any sniff of adversity and we clam the fuck up.

I agree with you on this. It seems, to me, certain things are becoming self fulfilling beliefs: We can't win on penalties; we don't play well on synthetic surfaces; we (for some reason) don't perform on Friday night televised games. What has been done to deal with this? After we lost the playoff on penalties, I questioned what preparation had been made for this scenario. I don't see it as a toss of a coin, random lottery, other teams can (and do) prepare for it.

The issue for me, is, that with the new ownership regime in place, we are expected to sit back and have faith in the process. I struggle with this, because, I really think we need someone in who can create a winning mindset (not necessarily a new manager).

I will attempt to have faith until the end of the season, but, if we don't win it, then what?

We kept the faith with the previous two managers for far too long, let’s not make the same mistake again.

 
I have lost faith totally in him now. If we keep him some of his mercurial players and a great finisher might just be good enough to win a fairly ordinary league. In spite of the manager who I see is now having a go for them not working hard not tackling not getting booked not doing the dirty work etc....that sounds like Dec 18 when we lost to Alloa....groundhog day.

Your fucking team Neilson sort it quick ie before Palmerston or gtf.
