With the squad is such poor state the rebuild will inevitably take time. We will never give any manager the time they need. Clement will get time with the new contract. But patience will wear our very quickly if results/performances continue as they have been. 6 wins in 16 is nowhere near good enough. Yes the squad needs rebuilt and that will take time. In the meantime but we've got to see the some kind of change in approach/tactic. Play to the strengths of what we do have until the players he's wanting are added. Sticking with the same approach and expecting different is what cost the previous managers. molesmole, Loyal-Bear and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 15,278 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I thought we’d have a clear out. Replace the old past it average players with oven ready replacements. With that add a few money spinners into the squad and start on the front foot. Effectively what he has done was try and keep some of the average lot that went (he said so himself) I’m guessing Lundsram and Jack. Dip into his squad players (Davies, Lawrence and Wright) who are now starters and bring in some unknown youngsters to be squad players. squad players now are first team players and their replacements are the new squaddies.

Boybluesy 4,049 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 The style of play is pish. We're lumping the ball up front, Desser's can't hold anyone off and Lawrence is slow as fuck. Wright is total pish and shouldn't be in the team. We just keep giving the ball away cheaply, players are out of position because they're all trying to rush up the park, and we don't have the fucking ball anymore. It is fucking dreadful.

You don’t rebuild to this extent without it having an impact on the results and style of play. Especially when so many first team players left and haven’t been replaced. As I said there are concerns, but the summer recruitment has been a disaster, the players we did sign weren’t ready or signed too late for this game. We didn’t move out the players we were hoping too, not quickly enough anyway. It’s a total fuck up. Paying to sack PC his back room team, and likely Koppen with no money to pay compensation for a replacement simply isn’t happening, not now anyway. You’d be limited to Scottish market, and managers out of a job. So we suck it up and stick with PC or accept the extremely poor alternative options.

But we are fucking terrible to watch and I don't even think you could safely say "if he gets the players he needs then we will be excellent" If I seen something in what he was trying to do but it was the players then I'd defo be for giving him a chance but there's nothing there.. We are a fucking shambles all over.and I'm fed up with the shite we serve up week after week season after season This is what I've been saying. I don't think he's improved a player yet. The group went through a better spell from October to Feb/March last year and then we fell off a cliff and have never recovered. So I'm not sure the "players he needs" will improve things. We might buy some starters that will improve on Wright, Lawrence, Davies etc but I'm just not convinced the manager has it in him to put together a proper press, passing rotations and ditch playing Tom Lawrence in the fucking number 10 role (ditch the role altogether preferably). We've heard quite often that the manager likes players with power - where are they? I think Barron is about the only player who looks to play with any level of aggression in this team. We played with some control and purpose during that initial spell after he came in but I can't honestly tell if that was a new manager bounce fluke or if it was something he did.

Right now it’s all bluster though, how he wants to play is fucking woeful and if he hasn’t already lost the players he’s an OF defeat away from losing the majority of the support if it’s repeating the same pish that hasn’t worked before.

I think you'll have seen long enough on here I don't overreact and always try cling onto positives but I am so far detached from the club, the management, the board and players it's fucking scary. That was another 53 quid on Friday for Kiev, the last season ticket payments were out on the first, so that was 310 quid to Rangers in a few days and in all honesty for what?

They'd get beat but he had a system in place before he got the players to fill it. If this is our system and we aren't winning games then he will be gone soon. I've never known a time apart from the cunts who ran us between 2012 and 2015 the support and the club being so far apart on nearly everything. We are an absolute disgrace at the minute. I'll be honest I normally always try and see positives, I always say pre season is about minutes and fuck all else, but from march last season to now I'm pretty much convinced he's going to be away soon enough. He can't get the plaudits for bringing us into a title fight and then not get the criticism for some of the baffling decisions he made last season towards the end. I'll be honest unless some miracle happens the league will be over in weeks and our season probably by November baring the Scottish cup. It's a fucking shambles Their players weren't shite though they'd had one horrendous season. I think he deserves criticism but I feel like people are misdirecting their anger at this point, our squad is fucking shocking at the moment and nobody is going to do fuck all with it. It doesn't matter if we have better players than Hearts either, we are every teams cup final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not defending Clements teams current footballing lack of style here. I can't as it's grim viewing. But the revisionism about Gio is getting beyond a joke. Gio should have been backed 100% but Bisgrove wanted his wee pal Beale in the door. Clement will need time to get rid of the pish and bring in the players he wants. If by then we are still chronic then I'm sure the support will have every right to give Phil it stinking.
