    Robbie was big on everyone at the club being in it together, then jumped ship, how would anyone be able to take him serious again as the head of your club, everything he would say second time would just sound fake.

    He has called out errors, hinted at individuals and dropped players . You could argue the case that he lost the dressing room even more than any other manager did given the last 4 games and thats likely due to his comments. The players probably knew what Goodwin thought of them, that their days were numbered and no matter what they did would be shipped out.

    Would this squad have done this to every manager? quite likely but what this squad certainly did not need is an openly critical manager giving them even more excuses to down tools.

    Ultimately Goodwin, like the others got it wrong but then there was in all likelihood no right with this squad
    Did he though? He came out and said we were making the same errors, week in week out, which we were. Everyone could see it. The players knew it. He very rarely blamed individuals until the Birighitti f*ck up last week. If that's a fault in a manager then we're f*cked employing anyone.

    Wee Jim would have battered a few of the c*nts for a start. JG is not escaping criticism as far as I'm concerned.

    The alternative a rookie keeper who has shipped 30 goals in 10 appearances for Peterhead/ Untied this season.

    The alternative to Mulgrew? Ryan Edwards a player in terrible form who cost us goals especially against Aberdeen a game we actually played reasonably well in.

    Not JG fault he was left with these poor choices.

    JG’s ultimately not very bright - he did the same with us and the players downed tools, but alas he never seems to learn. I think you’ll need to bin him to stand any chance next season.

    He took the job knowing that we were shyte, he knew the squad choices before he signed on, if he didn't then that's his own fault. I don't get how he's still the people's choice tbh

    I'm not sure we will. However I'm not sure he's good enough for the Premiership. It's worth noting that both successors in his previous two jobs have gone on to do better than him in this league.

    It shows the soft as sh*te state of football players these days when they can't take a bit of criticism.

    I don’t know if Goodwin is the answer, people wanting to give him a contract after 3 wins crazy, but damage was done/rot set before he arrived. Don’t think anyone could salvage the mess we were in due to recruitment.

    Hard to see us attracting any manager of quality unfortunately.
    Once upon a time maybe.
    How about a McIntyre / Dodds combo 😊
