    Mainly from a few on East and teks, don't just read this forum

    No doubting he's a great player and we're lucky to have him but I think there's been something up with him the last 2 games imo and can't all be down to playing up top on his own.

    I was at Dunfermline and he was limping near the end of that game, wasn't the same vs dundee and limped off at the end... Have a feeling he isn't 100% just now

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...

    Poor standard of football that's so seen us top winning 5 out of 6, yes indeed! Lol you do realise this is the Scottish championship, don't you?

    Results is all that matters in this division, especially for us this season, there is always sky and the etihad if you want to watch lovely football every week and don't enjoy Utd games

    Stoke, still not grasping that its not just related to reactions on this forum, there was Neilson out threads on both teks and east before Saturdays game finished and our own balumbie made a thread before full time too, cringe worthy stuff from knicker wetters given where we are as a club, we are a club on the up, make no mistake

    Still not readings posts and like jfallup, unable to offer any arguments to the facts in front of you, as you can't argue with them...

    I said it's all well criticism and disagreeing (I disagree with a few selections from the last two games) but the reaction is like bairns not getting their own way (big bairns ha ha) and all with the advantage of hindsight

    However there was no credit at the same time, given we won he game, came from behind again and the subs changed the flow, you wouldn't believe we were top with 15/18 pts or had shown big improvement since Jan, there is a wee agenda creeping in one that so far you have failed to back up as results just make it look stupid (about being scared to lose)

    Haters gonna to hate.

    They did well but I agree

    Apparently though one shot in target was enough for them to deserve to win

    a paragraph in this sums it up perfectly

    Neilson deployed a 4-4-2 that was blowing teams away earlier this season. He has since went back to a one striker formation that makes United a lot less menacing in attack.

    You’re an ABSOLUTE BELTER!!

    You say I’m not reading posts, yet come out with the following rant (see below) as a reply to one of my previous posts, most of which has absolutely no reference to my post!
    If not seen through Shedka’s eyes, or his side-kick Terry, then not true or never happened! Briiliant!!

    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.

    Again, nothing of note in this reply, ttt is a sidekick? ... Did you not read the forum during the last few months of Csabas nightmare reign?

    Your belter post from about 4:30pm Saturday will disappear off the first page soon, no doubt bumped the next time we have a set back or are losing after an hour
