Thread: 2 wins from last 11 away games

  1. #1

    2 wins from last 11 away games

    United have managed to collect only 11 points out of 33 points from their last 11 away matches.

    We have won 2 of our last 11 away games, along with 3 draws.

    We were hoping that somehow United would get better, we would turn the corner and get back on a winning run - it's not happening.

    United are an average championship team similar to Morton, Queens and Inverness .

    Teams who lose 6 of their past 11 away games do not win titles.

    We will make the play offs and get beat either in the first or second round.

    It's always a risk appointing a manager and signing players, unfortunately we have struggled to get this right with the past 3 managers ( all of whom had a budget for players ).

    We will be in the Championship next season, so time to rethink once again.

    Congratulations to St Mirren on winning the league.

    managers have been given sufficient budgets, but repeatedly bad/wrong decisions at the top just mean its all been completely wasted. Lessons never get learnt.

    Our recruitment in the past 3 seasons has been absolutely shocking, 9 players in this Jan window and all either completely useless or the wrong types. We cant even sign a steady right-back with the biggest budget in the division.

    ST makes a big speech after relegation about lessons being learnt, and then virtually the next rushes out and appoints McKinnon without taking time to source what managers were out there.

    He should have had the balls when we got relegated to accept Hibs were overwhelming favourites and looked to build a side that would at the very minimum be ready to go up this season, and stay up, instead of constant fire-fighting.

    Seen as he didnt/doesn't have a structure in place to source out players for the club, independent of the manger, does he even actually ask them at the job interview what contacts they have to bring players in their own players to the club?

    There have been so many mistakes make in the past 4-5 years, that we just seem to be digging bigger and bigger holes for ouselves in a blind attempt to get out this situation.

    We will not be able to move on as a Club or support until that Baldy Pr!ck does the honourable thing. It really is as simple as that.

    I’ll not be back until this happens.

    Think it's the players and managers who have to take responsibility for this ( all the managers have had a budget ) - they should not be allowed to hide behind the argument that ST is to blame. It's the managers who select the team formation and tactics and it's the players who get paid for playing - so the buck has to stop with them for their inability to win games.

    The past 3 manager appointments have not worked out ( I was not in favour of any of them ), but some fans were and it's always a risk.

    It's time for a rethink, but would avoid any rush decisions. The players and managers have failed to deliver and feelings are running high.

    We should focus on getting ready for the play offs - I don't think we will win them, but at least we should go down fighting rather than going out with a wimp.

    United should concede they have lost the league and will now focus on winning the play offs ( it's a tall order, but at least they should start planning for who they might be playing etc ).
