(Disclaimer ... Robson's interim period featured a great defensive record ... pre top six games, but as far as I am aware/can remember, he was not responsible for the signings of Pollock and McDonald ... Did Jim actually fix it for us, but couldna stay around tae see it fixed?? )

I'm sure Pollock and MacDonald were coming before Goodwin went.
I have a vague recollection of him speaking about two defenders coming in before the window closed.

As with my post yesterday about Thelin coming in. I could be speaking shyte.

Aye, that's the point Ah wis makin' .. ie. The improvement they made to our defensive efforts was arguably mair attributable tae Jimbo than Robbo.

Looking more and more like Thelin set to be announced shortly if reports in Swedish media are anything to go by.

Elfsborg are lining up their new coaching team BEFORE they let Thelin go!


Hope Cormack and Co and taking notes.

Though there's no guarantee Goodwin would actually have played them in their proper positions.

One outlet saying he is coming but staying with Elfsborg until June 1st?
Also says other members of their set up is leaving also? Technical Director?
FMB maybe🤣

Good news. If and I repeat IF true. I guess he will assess the team by watching Redtv until that date??

If it is 1st June I hope he has people in his team as well as himself taking in games as well as watching red tv

Why is he staying with Elfsborg until the 1st of June?

The club should be telling him he needs to start right away or tell him to feck off.

Not for me.

Upgrading Stewart obviously made a difference but I think it was as much Robson telling Pollock and McDonald to clear ball up pitch rather than passing it about the back line that made a difference.

Or maybe I’m just unwilling to give Goodwin any credit.

Ironically it was this tactic, the helter skelter rushing the ball forward, aka his ‘fast transition’ ideology that did for Robson.

The return of Shinnie in midfield alongside Ramadani gave us a more solid spine in the team too and undoubtedly helped our defence. Ramadani has been a huge miss this season for a player easily replaced.

Scales was also a big part of our back three and was a bad bit of business not stumping up the cash for him.
Some of the shyte written about Scales was well over the top.

The removal of Stewart as Captain and from the team cannot be underestimated either.

He was awful and not saying that with the benefit of hindsight.

Agree on all of those comments - McRorie’s drive and energy too has been a miss as was the tenacity and composure of young Lewis before him - losing those half-dozen was very significant!

Indeed he is a miss. I wasn't a huge fan of his, but we clearly miss him.

It's a huge job job Thelin has in front of him (assuming he is taking the job). Quite a rebuild for the guy and not going to happen in one window. I know nothing about him, but he has progressed the clubs he has been at frpm the little I have read about him.

Will he get the ever important time he needs to get the players in and his ideas across and working?

That is the bit that worries me most, but on the plus side it doesn't take much of a turnaround in our league to stay in the top half or even third place.
