Mate, you said last week you respect him and would keep him on if we win the league because 'we owe him'. Not having a go btw because at least you answered my question.

But do you now see why we cannot keep him on regardless of what happens come May 3rd?

He has to go after that.
 

Goodwins here till the season’s end. Then after a failed attempt in the play offs we’ll appoint another Largs made ex player in the same mould. More tippy tappy possession football, box ticking, mediocre players from the Ross Countys of this world, youngsters who are weak AF and can’t make the step up, loan signings who have 1 good game every 5, Ogren not giving a shit and looking to sell to anyone with 10 bob. 

yours, Nostradamus.

Not to single him out, because he wasn't our worst last night (but just because you mentioned him).

He (to me) is very much a 'Goodwin player' i.e. works hard, tracks back and tries to defend, and keeps his shape etc etc.

Only draw back being he contributes absolutely fuck all offensively (what he was signed to do).

He reminds me of Tillson in that regard. I see a pattern emerging.

God forbid Goodwin stays on next season our team would be choc full of nice guys who run about all day, but can't actually play football.
 

You're cherry picking what I said.
Which was he should have been on their goalie etc etc ...

Other than that, couldnae agree more.

You might be right and you may be wrong, it's an opinion made some time in February.

He still does have my respect for at least trying last year, we have done this already and I've stated my reasons.

But all this "Goodwin out" has not helped at all, the place was so quite last night, folk booing the young guys off at half time, there's a real lack of support from our crowd right now.

We are where we are and we need to get out this season.

I saw Warnock claiming his Aberdeen team were bullied, christ knows what he would make of this Utd team. We are far too nice all over the park.
Nobody leaves a foot in, no stray elbows no anything.
If we had a few good old fashioned battles in the tunnel we would be bottom of the fight league by miles.
Can we please sign a few dirty horrible bastards.

 
It is weird that we are in this situation, when our manager is Jim Goodwin, with Davie Bowman as a coach. Surely the one thing that the two of them know about is letting the other team know they are in a game.

He has to but unfortunately he won’t. Should have been sacked before he made it to the tunnel. We are getting what we deserve for giving him the job after the disgrace of post split last season.

I thought the fans were very patient last night. Not many boos at half time , applauded the players when they could see they were trying even if it didn’t come off. Couldn’t blame anyone for booing at full time as yet again let down massively.

Hypothetically who would you like to see in the post and or who would you have given it to in the summer?

 
That’s not my job. That’s what the CEO gets paid for but there is no way on earth he was the best man for the job in the summer. If I had to pick a name I’d go for Lennon until the end of the season. No way he would accept the drivel that is being served up week on week. Appreciate it would be a gamble but one we can’t afford not to take because there is no way we are winning the league with that charlatan in charge and with his record in big games we wouldn’t even win in the first play off game never mind the final.

If we had McCabe instead of Goodwin we would be walking this league. Regardless of if we get promoted Goodwin has to go at the end of the season. We have been shocking since the start of December. Thistle at home our only decent performance and a number of absolute stinkers.

The problem as I see it, is simply.......We're set up to get a goal and see it out and if a second goal comes, then that's good.

I think any manager that focussed mostly on attacking the opposition, playing a fast paced or even more positive style, with no emphasis on stats would see us win this league comfortably.

Airdrie's main tactic last night for most of the game was try to pull us out of position, then lump a long ball over the top, try to win the 2nd ball.

Maybe that's down to the limited footballing ability of their players (but they were very well drilled and worked their balls off) but I would hate to watch that every week.

There is the problem, McCabe has them well drilled, every single player in that team know exactly what they are doing, what’s our tactic give it Middleton on the left and hope he crosses the ball- it’s absolute amateur stuff from us at times and imo they actually do play good football. Even there corner routines are far superior, he’s a good up and coming manager and is exactly who we should be going for when Goodwin eventually gets punted.

I don't think we need an up and coming manager.  We need someone who's tried and tested.  We're a basket case of a club just now (thanks to the Asghar regime and the blind faith shown in that regime by Ogren, IMO).  We need an old head to steady the ship and get the club sorted out from top to bottom.  Similar to what Levein had to do.

We need to sort out the mind set of the players, the training, the academy - if we keep it.  Its a massive task to get the club sorted and it will take time.

Neil Warnock might be available tonight.

I read somewhere that there has been a manager sacked whilst top of the league but forget who it was, might even have been in Engerland. Anyone remember?
