Guest The Brown Brogue Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The complete change in style, ethos and performance since the Aberdeen/Sevilla games is like night and day. Do you think this is because McCoist been solely in charge for these games or at the very least has he been given more say in team affairs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 No. Walter Smith is in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie1807 146 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I don't think so. Walter has seen the error of his ways. NOW WE ARE FLYING Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 No. Novo and Beasley have given us width, balance and with Davis running the show in midfield we have played better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del 667 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 What a strange suggestion that is... There is nothing to even hint that McCoist has had anything to do with team selection or style of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 If Ally was in charge and this was his team. :drool: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw69uk 123 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Flip a coin! Who knows, but, theres a part of me hopes thats his influence, since I have always been a big big backer of the idea of him taking over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Brown Brogue Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 What a strange suggestion that is... There is nothing to even hint that McCoist has had anything to do with team selection or style of play. Except that its been a complete turnaround from about 3 weeks ago. Why is it such a strange suggestion that Smith knowing he is likely out the door sooner rather than later would, give his protege a bit of responsibility to help his future career whoever that may be with?

adam2102 631 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 i was asking this myself today. if you look back at the games mccoist took control of previously (in the 2 cups) we have always played with 2 wingers, usually novo and beasley. personally i dont think he is in charge, but i do think he is getting much more input into the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delparlane 5,805 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 It's brilliant to see this, but must say it is also somewhat frustrating. I had faith we could play like this with effort, desire, and the right formations, as we've seen glimpses of it before. That's why it was so annoying watching that CL campaign - even though the opposition was miles better there than in the SPL, we still could have done soooo much better.

SammyEnglish 48 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 it seems to be since the management have been working without contracts. it's like playing poker pissed, you tend to get a bit more wreckless and go for it haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,270 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 What a strange suggestion that is... There is nothing to even hint that McCoist has had anything to do with team selection or style of play. Not so strange; Walter has never been in favour of playing wingers or playing attacking wide players. The last few games have been with a very differeent set up and philosophy from the usual Smith mindset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearethemighty 186 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I said the same thing on another post, heres my thinking behind it, WS has said time and again that hed like Ally to take over from him,therefore hes letting him have a run at managing things while WS looks on just to make sure that everythings ok, if you actually look at the body language of the players there all confident happy even that has to be own to joker ally. The more I see it the more it seems apparent ie ally on the touchline barking out instructions, WS sitting down looking/assesing things, giving advice etc If indeed this is Allys team, then fk me have we got the next guardiola? albeit a fatter pastier one? I hope so! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
