Each week that passes, is getting worse!
Manager, team selection, tactics, now getting beyond a joke!!
I thought the Brewster years were tough, but feck me, this is worse!
As I’ve said before, the negative approach and continuous change from Ray, was preventing continuity, but we’re no further foward, and to be honest, going backwards! Sad days fellow arabs :-(
Team selection for first half was bizarre
They came out playing like they had never met each other before
The passing and organisation has deteriorated under Shabba
At least second half showed improvement. Still a lot of guys just running with the ball withiut plan if where to pass it or people making runs
Dont actually think this was a new low, just a repeat of quite a few displays over the last 2 seasons.
First half was awful and the equaliser had a lot of luck attached to it. After that we actually looked like we could win it. Good to have Scott Fraser make an appearance and he lifted the team when he came on. Quinn wasn't at the races and was rightly hooked at half time. Surely Gillespie or Slater would be better beside Flood?

First half - absolute phuking s.hite. Ain of the worst ever performances ever. A continuation of that disgraceful Morton home game. Everything wrong and yet again some, if not all, of these players have to have a good look at themselves.
The correct substitution was made at ht.
Second half considerable improvement, not that that would be difficult. Dare I say it , McDonald made a difference when he came on, maybe this is the way to use him. Good to see Fraser back, personally wouldn’t have brought him on in this game against the Sneck hammer throwers.
Considering that disgrace in the first half a point was a result for us. FFS.
We have had a run of managers who have an element of stubbornness about them - regardless of the importance of the match, some mangers seem reluctant to accept they made the wrong team selection and don't change the formation until it's too late.
United could have been 0-3 down at half time . If it's so obvious the team is not gelling why wait until half time to make the changes ( players can get injured and booked etc, but thats a risk worth taking when the team are playing so bad ).
It's worrying just how bad they players have been - how many wake up calls do they need ?
No team is ever going to win a league or the play offs being so inconsistent and failing to grind out results when it really matters.
The manager has to go and Ellis should take over until the end of the season.
We started playing well when McKinnon left, the players played with freedom and a lack of fear because they weren't constricted by McKinnon's poor instructions and tactics.
This lasted until Csaba's influence took them back to the same place McKinnon had them.
Ellis, like he did for his few games in charge, would play the correct players in the correct positions in the correct formation. Set them up properly and tell them to play their own game.
Good managers are consistent and if things go wrong, they have the confidence to stick with their basic plan and tweak it slightly when necessary.
Poor managers complicate the game because they don't know what they're doing, hence the chopping and changing of everything.
It's not rocket salad.
Results and performances dived at the same time our best players got injured, funny that.
When we lost Messi & Ronaldo, sorry, Fyvie and Fraser, we went from being decent to completely and utterly useless.Quote:

The team is a shambles and the manager doesn't have a clue what to do about it.
