Winning those 9 games might not give us the feel good factor you'd hope it would though because there's 3 really tough European fixtures within that list, and the likelihood of an Old Firm cup final sandwiched in to, so if those games go against us as expected, toiling our way through league wins won't be enough, I'm convinced though that we'll win more points than the tims before the next Old Firm, but if we can't beat them it's irrelevant. I'm amazed you expect us to win 9 out of those 10 matches. Don't see where that optimism is coming from. King Jela 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just expect us to win all games at Ibrox, and the four away games are a completely different proposition from the first five we got this season, County, St Johnstone, Motherwell and St Mirren are a completely different prospect from going to Tynecastle, the piggery, Tannadice, Rugby Park and Pittodrie.

I'd expect to win all of those home games as well if we were playing well but currently we are absolutely hopeless and it'll be a struggle, home or away.

Popular Post BlueSuedeSambas 56,880 Posted 10 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 10 hours ago We’ve played 9 away games in the league since we beat Kilmarnock at the end of February. 2 wins. 3 draws. 4 defeats. 9 goals scored. 13 conceded. 9 points taken from a possible 27.

I think over a similar period, Aberdeen who finished on 48 points last season, would be 12 points ahead of us It's truly horrific Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I was kinda looking at it from a new manager point of view, while ai would expect us to get results with Clement, I think the fixtures would give a new guy a great opportunity to build up a bit of momentum.

Dado'sMulls 2,811 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago See if the players don't understand what the manager is asking of them, is it not the job of the captain to go to the gaffer and make it clear? Our esteemed captain will lead by example and down tools to get another manager the sack because he doesn't like him. Clement might be pish, yes, but the players nowadays are an absolute disgrace to the club. Don't even have the desire to try and understand what the manager wants, they prefer to start a clique and force them out. Fucking hate the majority of our squad these days.

He will be gone before then but caretaker to the summer then new CEO and chairman will do a review of the business like what's happened at United. As H&H said yesterday there intension to back him is all good but if 20k folk start turning up he will be binned. The end is very close no sure a loss to Aberdeen it's self will be enough tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure, I think there seems to be an acceptance that we won't win the League this season, and that was (wrongly) the message all through the summer, where as in April the League was in our hands, and I just think the players couldn't handle that responsibility. I don't think the players look like they're playing with the weight of the world on their shoulders, I just think we've got a severe lack of athleticism in the squad and when you go to the piggery, Rugby Park and Tynecastle, the speed of the game catches us out, that's why I'm worried about Pittodrie, there's far less intensity from the opposition when you go to Dens and County, there is one at Fir Park but for some reason we always seem to do well there.

Said that at the time, Clement whether people rate him or not, was clearly sold a dud when they were negotiating with us last year, and when the shit hit the fan this summer and he realised he wasn't going to be able to strengthen in the way he wanted, the club have given him a new deal probably on more guaranteed money to keep him sweet and try to con us into thinking there's a masterplan.

This just seems like another "fuck it let's just blame Tav" post. If/when Tav goes fans are fucked for blaming someone. People were desperate to see the back of Goldson thinking it would somehow improve us. Enter John Souttar. Players don't understand what the manager wants because the manger has t got a fucking clue what he wants. We sit deep and fire the ball up to Dessers who has absolutely nobody running off him even if he does win the ball/header. Get another 4 years of this fitba into ma veins.

I defended him last season as I thought a lot was down to the players in the squad. However the majority of them barring tav are gone now. It's a new set of players and things are remaining the same. We look clueless on the pitch lacking shape and a clear game plan. That's on the manager. With the resources he does have we should be a hell of a lot better of than what we've seen. I think it's only a matter of time now. BlueAvenger and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
