I think Mellon has been very good. Can't remember a Utd manager having less money to sigh or spend on players.

 
Brought in 2 pretty decent players in Edwards and Fuchs too 👍

It's got better for sure since the Ross County game. Defensively we are miles better than even when we were playing 5-4-1. Midfield to front is still an issue, good decision making and accurate passing like we saw at the goal is still far too rare.

The way we've played over our last 6 games are more like the team we want to see. Constant high press, mostly solid defensively all we need now is that consistency of the quality we saw for the goals yesterday. If we can add a centre half at the same level (or better) than Edwards, along with an effective winger to the current squad then we finish easily in the top 6.

Overall I've said from the start that MM being a very experienced manager is exactly what we need atm. I believe his calmness in victory or defeat is always the way to go.
However if for example we don't win any of the split games the MM is not the man for the job boys will be back.

I'm still not totally sold on Mellon, i'm not going to lie.

I still have reservations about us going forward with him as Manager and in particular the style of football we will play under him.

But he and the players do deserve credit for the upturn in our fortunes since County away.

He also does deserve a proper transfer window in the Summer to try and bring his own players and mould the team into his own.

Today, Jim McLean wouldn't have lasted 6 months.
Folk were more tolerant then & there was no soshilmeejashite.
Had he got the early bullet we'd be Albion Rovers now,
Mellon will get the sack one day, not just yet but one day.
Sad.

I think he's done an ok job in that we look all but safe now. He's not had any money to play with, but outside the old firm no one really has. We also have one of the better teams on paper.

I think his negative tactical leadership has had an impact on me from day one. I know someone will say the aim was to stay up, but I don't completely buy into all that. Definitely teams in the league that we should of been confident that we had a better squad than.

In the end my positive outtake on MM is that he steadied the defence recently and learned how to see games out from a winning position. Next season will be his real test. All going well covid restrictions will be gradually getting lifted in time for next season, getting fans back to the ground, and the chairman can hopefully risk putting some money on the line on the transfer window. Once it's MM's guys are in we can see what he's really all about.

Fully behind him but not fully confident in him!
