Murtys a coach, so it's looking like this set up will work well. Both Murtys losses have either been with Pedros squad, or the Hibs game quickly after new players coming in and not being completely settled. 3 Why not? it is perfectly common for a DoF to have a major input in transfers.

geronimoo 1,474 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 What I have noticed also is teams are fearing us more, under Warbs and Pedro the Falkirk team today would have came at us believing they were better and believing we were there for the taking. Now teams are playing us and know if they want a win they will need to earn it and know we have stopped passing for the sake of passing and the fannying about, if we had Warbs or Pedro in charge today's game would have been different as we would have faced a confident Falkirk team pounding away at us.

King Jela 20,371 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 He's been terrific since bringing his own players in but football is fickle, especially for managers. At the moment we're still within a slight chance of 55 and in the cup, this time next month we could be back to fighting to keep 2nd and out of the cup. I have faith in him though.

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It's unfortunate that he's kind of being judged on a game by game basis to determine whether he's good enough to have the job on a permanent basis but it's a mark of the man that he doesn't complain and just works hard to try to improve the players and the team.

TheMotor 2,208 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Actually, thinking about it, his record's a bit more impressive when you consider our injury list and the players he has had to do without. Still have wee reservations as I think that horrible fucking scrote at hivs has out-thought him tactically in the last two games against them, both the win and the loss. I suppose he's still learning though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think that we have stumbled upon a way of making the director of football/first team coach set up actually work for a big club . Murty was well known to the squad before he took over the reigns. he's doing a great job .he's getting results ,he's getting the team playing well and getting a feel good factor back that's been missing since Smith left He has come from within the set up without being disrespectful to him he has no manager experience to allow an ego get in the way of MA doing his job . It's going to be very difficult to get a manager in that will take us on even further next year and it could effectively knock us back a stage or 2.

Also, the recruitment in January has had a very positive impact. Whatever the reasons, we're definitely getting better and long may it continue. I hope he continues to succeed.
