Your own standards where united should be

[Chick A Saw]

Has my vote for a good subject for a thread! However, i dont know if i can objectively answer the question at this time.

To give it a go, my expectation is that my team recruits the right players, gives youth their chance if deemed good enough, all controlled by a management team who can coach the players to better themselves, to put players out in a formation that suits them in the position they play best. I think the players are being failed by the management team just now.

When im sitting in the GFL or sitting at home watching the games, i want to be at least entertained, to be made to feel that ive watched every man either stroll through to an entertaining win, or leave it all on the pitch to win, loose or draw. Just now i think we are being failed by the management team as soon as OA gets his leak oot!

My expectation for where we should be in the league is tempered by goings on since a dark night 7 years ago, all the way through relegation, doon 4 seasons and being on our third manager since getting back, im loath to say where we belong, but where i expect us to be.

I do think we have a squad of players who are capable of safely providing mid table mediocrity, and while they are here and i feel its not all their fault, i will stand up for them. However, if we want to consistently be a top 6 team, we need the management team to prove they can achieve that by binging through and recruiting players that can take us further. I recognise that the likes of Harkes, Sporle, Clark, McNumpty, Pawlett and possibly Niskanen are not proving their ability to take us to the next level, but my expectation tempered by what has gone before is not there yet and these players should be consistently better than at least 5 of our opponents.

I think every supporter is being short changed by the club,most of us backed United to the absolute hilt during the pandemic and allowed the club to keep season ticket money we could have used for the next campaign.We also almost to a man/woman renewed our tickets for the following season knowing fine well there was every chance of being locked out again.

All that most of us want i suspect is to be entertained,to look forward to going to the games and enjoy our football.Last night we failed to register a shot on target against a team currently bottom of the league who have shipped almost 2 goals per game and to me that is simply unacceptable.

I would not make a fuss this season if we were to finish in the bottom 6,all i'm asking for is plenty of effort and a wee bit of decent football being played now and again.At the moment i am very disillusioned with what's on offer and its doubtful i will renew my season ticket unless Tony and Tam get their fingers out and address the squad problems that have been staring them in the face for years now.

I would except being mid table/bottom 6 safe from relegation if it meant we had a team willing to have a f*cki*g go. This tippy tappy sideways possession stuff is boring as f#*k and not even close to being good to watch. What happened to the performance against Hibs away? Was that just a fluke? If it continues like this till the end of the season then it’s time for Tam to go. I really want him to succeed as I thought he’d be a breath of fresh air compared to someone from the usual old boys’ club but it seems it’s no really any better. We totally pressed Rangers from start to finish in the 1-0 game but what’s happened to that style too? Tam has about 10-15 games to save his job or he surely gets punted. Shame, as it was such a promising start. “Pus-shutting champion”—mind o them days? 🤦🏻*♂️
