Yep. Agreed. More style than substance.
 

There was one moment in last nights game i thought 'nah you're no for me Jackie'.

McGowan had been pushed about by their players...he's unfairly sent off and then as he's walking up the track Deila gives him abuse...Jackie just watches on.

I would have been right in the cunts face saying you concentrate on your own fucking players.

Can you imagine wee Jim or big Levein standing back and watching that ffs?

Now i'm not saying we need a frothing at the mouth mad man in charge but leadership comes from the top and you fight your players corner,particulary in a cauldron like Parkhead.

More than anything i want to see a bit of fire in the belly from him.

I actually like him as a man and i reckon the way he wants to play football is the correct way.But we need to learn how to roll up our sleeves and dig out a win when required.Teams tend to mirror their Gaffer.

Was trying to edit a bit of it to reply too and fucked it up.

Eejit,sorry man.

 
Censorship on here now, have to start calling u Putin.

Honestly think he feels a beaten man just now, thats why its time to come out fighting ( not literally, but almost).

He's forgotten what actually brought him success in the first place; passing football and a fluid attacking front 4 who interchanged throughout the game. You can talk about the Timmy Twosome but we've still got boys who can play a bit like Connolly, Telfer, Dow, Erskine, Nads; four of whom should playing every week. This season our front 4 have been completely rigid and clearly under orders to stay in their positions. That is making us too easy to play against.

Its also worth nothing that in trying to make us more solid and physical defensively (which he's failed on since we continue to ship soft goals), he's sacrificed our ability to play out from the back. Fojut and to a lesser extent Morris just want to play aimless punts even when they are under no pressure. When we were doing our Brazil 1970 impression in October-December last season our back four was Wilson, Souttar, Gunning and Robertson. You can pick holes in them defensively, but all of them could pass the ball out from the back and Souttar and Robbo could bring the ball out from the back and make up for Patons lack of ability and Rankins unwillingness to take the ball off the back four and responsibility for starting attacks.

Dunno if shite is the word I would use. He is definitely bipolar in his form though. Unfortunately he's back to last seasons form at the moment though. He's missing Armstrong's through balls.

I could easily compile a list if you want?

See looking at the back 4

McGowan ..Morris..Fojut..Dixon (with Dillon filling in at full back areas).

That looks a good back 4.

Begs the question why can't we keep a clean sheet ever?

Again the answers imo ultimately lead back to the Manager.

But again i ask,what do Jackson+Donnelly do to earn their wage?

I know what Stevie Campbell does.

I don't know what those other two do to enhance the players.


 

Erskine had a purple patch but he's back to sheer awfulness. Lazy fucker with absolutely no stamina as well.

Dixon hasn't been great but will come good. McGowan looked poor first few game but was really good in past 3 games. Fojut and Morris have both been decent signings but team is never the same. He keeps changing and chopping it. I think Jackie fancies himself as a bit of a Mourinho.

A lot of the issues at the club are not Jackies fault. A fair share as his though
 

On the subject o jackson and donnely..

Jackie got his new deal last year.. which apparantly is very attractive.

They 2 never.. has there been anything signed by them since?

I voted in the we are where we are category, but I also feel there is underachievement.

In spite of The Embra Teams and Sevco being in the Championship, we are behind them in terms of size of Club and are probably the 6th biggest in Scotland.  So if I was Chairman I would budget for a Top 6 finish and the quarters of each Cup.  You generally end up where you are 8 or 9 times out of 10 based on what your outlay is.  That is proven statistically time and time again.

The danger here is that we have missed a trick as far as this season is concerned, as we should be top 3 in the League and just about where we have landed in the Cups, especially with Celtic being 10x+ the size of Club we are.  I have a genuine fear that the Doomsday Scenario is that Dundee will pip us to the Top 6 on 8 April 2015  unless we dust ourselves down pronto!

We as supporters knew we were taking a chance having only one left back in the squad all season and that we were light up front and that has proved to be the case.

The inability to keep a clean sheet for well over 18 months is baffling and has to land at the door of the coaching (or lack of).

Our apparent lack of fitness and our inability to press has to land at the door of the coaching (as others manage to do it to us).

Games are won and lost now on the transition and the turn over of the ball.  In losing ARob, Gauldy, and the Timmy two, we have had our legs blown off.  At Hampden we were a goalie, 8 defensive players and 2 offensive players.  If you are gonna play like that fair enough, but you gotta keep a clean sheet 80% of the time, not 8% of the time.

At the Tattiedome we played with Dow up top and Cifti wider.  At least 2 or 3 times the ball flashed across the 6 yard box and because we don't have or play with a Predator Striker these vital chances go a begging.

We need to ensure Top 6 and regroup in the Summer.  Who that is with - who knows?
