    I think, whilst it's been a tad frustrating this season, it has been successful overall.

    We have made the top six and one cup semi (albeit we got pumped) and have another final to contest.

    We have implemented a style of play that is a joy to watch when it works and frustrating as f*ck when it doesn't.

    We have improved the quality of the squad, but still work to be done on that front. We can't just buy the right personnel in two windows.

    Jimmy isn't going anywhere, unless he decides to quit of his own accord.
    Dave C loves him and I think most of us can see improvements.

    Jimmy also speaks a lot of sense after games. He firstly told us we were overachieving during the winning run and never got carried away. He also never blames anyone else for the sh*tshows and is frustrated as the rest of us.

    It could all very well go t*ts up next season and Jimmy does depart, but I'll happily stick with Jimmy, than worry about what some of our bi-polar fan base think. Especially our resident troll on here
    I think most people can see that Thelin has had a decent fight season. Hopefully we win the Scottish cup but even if we dont finishing 4th with a cup final and reaching the semi final in the league cup is not bad for his first year.

    Obviously next season he will have to improve on certain things. We have lost 3 times to St Mirren this season and thats not good enough,apart from the draw against Celtic we have put in our usual poor performances against them.

    Im not entirely convinced it?s down to the style of play, we played hoofball under Robson but still lost to St Mirren and got ripped apart by Celtic numerous times.

    Thelin needs to find a way to exploit these teams weaknesses like they do against us.

    I've said all season, that our game working is based on our wide players. St Mirren and other teams stop us playing this way.

    We still passed the ball around yesterday and retained possession, but we were shyte in the final third and it kills us.

    I'm convinced a couple of quality wide players and a number 10 would go a long way to ensure we can get past St Mirren and other anti fitba teams.

    Getting the said players is easier said than done.

    I've also said before, that despite our record against them being poor over recent seasons, I'd much rather have Jimmy at the helm, than the wee leprechaun Robinson and his eye bleeding football any day of the week.

    I prefer winning football rather than attractive football. You?ll never get anywhere in Scotland playing attractive football because youll always come up against Celtic who are miles better at it.

    If we played like the rest of the league, you would see the difference our bigger playing budget makes. Doing the same shyte with better players will win more often than not and you could also pick up the odd result against st the smellies

    That said, I wouldnt want Robinson either. Horrible minging wee goblin

    We had a manager that was able to make us a winning team under McInnes and you weren't happy with it and that was long before he dropped his drawers for the hun.

    That would be about as good as it gets for us with a Scottish type manager.

    I've been entertained at times this season. The Hibs game last week was a particular good game,the huns at home too in October. If we can just find a little more consistency and maybe even a plan b for when a goes to sh1t, we should be good and willing to give it time.

    Somebody like McInnes but not with that smug hun face, a bit of bottle and who wouldnt go ten games in a row without scoring. Its not a huge ask

    Im not wanting a change of manager anyway. I just dont see the point in him trying to play a system he doesn?t really have the players for. We seem to approach every game the same way. It wouldn?t hurt to be a bit more flexible

    We see what happens next season. The squad will hopefully be more aligned to the system he wants to play and hopefully we can get more consistency and have the players to get us points against the St Mirrens of the league.

    He certainly won't get away without another period of not winning a game like he did this season.
