One up front…

[tHeArAb]

totally disagree, nothing like 4 up front, usual pish being 1 up front, 1 miles behind and two oot wide who 9/10 times arent even wingers

its absolute dog sh1t

Exactly this. Its nothing like four up front. So are we playing 6-0-4?? No we're not, as we still have three in midfield.
4-4-2 is a strict four in midfield with two out & out strikers. 4-2-3-1 is one up front with the three behind doing the interchanging. The only one constant is Shankland being up front in his own.

As I've posted a few times and destroys this ridiculous scared to lose myth/theory

Where are all the draws?? We aren't drawing league games since January, just 2 draws in 20 and none in the last 10 (8 wins 2 losses including the meaningless game at Morton)... It's because we are going for wins and not settling for a draw... That's why we won on Saturday and at Partick, and should have got something from Ayr but for Clarks miss from losing positions (another thing we have improved on under Neilson)

Dress it up all you want Shedka, we got away with it Saturday, but not at Ayr, and if Robbie persists with the “shackled” approach too many times, he’ll blow it, and only got himself to blame!

Nothing to dress up, just stating the facts and disproving what you said about being scared to lose as it simply doesn't add up, where are all these draws? Neilson is delivering results and wins and long may it continue, as I said post play offs right after losing pens about this season we were on an upwards trend post January and just needed to add to the base we had built, said it again in pre season that we should be confident about this season and hitting the ground running, that's what we've done, we have the right man in charge to lead us forward not only out of this division but into the top flight

Talk of him being under pressure or on shoogly pegs is not only silly talk it's tiresome during such a positive period

That's not to say there arent things that we won't agree with him on, I such think we should have started brown at Ayr and agree prefer Appere closer to Shankland on Saturday , at same time the subs he made worked, we kept probing and playing and we won.. Just wish any criticism was balanced with credit and came without talk of shoogly peg or pressure, needless.. if anyone really believes a managerial change would help the club this season then I'd advise to seek help, we have stability, we are building, the vibe is good, the crowds are good, the team spirit in players and staff is good (they wouldn't want a managerial change either), and we can see players improving under RN along with results over his tenure.

You might as well talk to the wall mate. Now we're getting rubbish about 'shoogly pegs' etc. Where on here did anyone say the manager is under threat, total garbage. Fans have genuine fears about the poor standard of football being witnessed and worried about some of the managers decision making and we're not allowed to voice them on here apparently. I thought it was a forum ffs...

Simple fact is we cant have a reasonable balanced debate on tactics and performances without being accused by Shedka of being a lynch mob. Which is nonsense.

Exactly, but all good in Shedka world, and god forbid anyone who questions Robbie’s team selection or tactics, even if we lose or scrape a win FFS!!! Pint of what he’s drinking, eh?? 🤣

He makes a good point though, Robbie deserves credit for making good tactical changes during the match on Saturday that won us the points. All we are getting is about his poor decisions getting us playing poorly in the first place. Zero credit to Arbroath too.

Arbroath got exactly what they deserved - Cheating bassas from the minute they scored, all over the park.

Whilst I understand concerns over the performance there’s been an over reaction. If Shankland’s chance in first half goes in off inside of post instead of back out then we probably go onto win by 2 or 3.

Arbroath a very stuffy team and do their jobs well. We have plenty previous for throwing in our worst home performance against low ranked sides. Brechin very nearly got a draw, Dumbarton got back to back draws at Tannadice over 2 seasons and who could forget the day Gretna came and left with all 3 points.

I was as displeased as anyone with that first 88 minutes but the end result showed we’ve turned a corner.
