For what it?s worth, over time I?ve come to the view that football, like many other things, comes down to very fine margins. In the same way that the differences between a successful and an unsuccessful player can be quite small, so too with teams.
This is the basically same team (bar Gueye) that was toasted for that long winning run. It?s the same manager. It?s largely the same team that we put out last year. They?ve not gone from world beaters to dross overnight and nor has Thelin.
It?s clear we have a problem at the back and up front. Put Miovski into that team and we?d have beaten Hibs. I think even with Adam Rooney or possibly Scott Vernon we?d have beaten Hibs.
Likewise with a Liam Scales or a Matty Pollock we might have beaten Kilmarnock.
We have a shed load of attacking talent in midfield. Our defensive midfielders would walk into most other teams in our league. Looks like we have two decent goalies.
It?s been **** the last few weeks, no doubt about that. But I find it remarkable that anyone would be calling for the manager?s head. We over performed, now we?re under performing.
Jings, just watch the Fergie documentary to get some perspective on the fact that any team can go through bad periods even with an outstanding manager. His work here has hardly begun.
In Jimmy we trust.
