Should we cut our losses with Ross now.

[shed-buoy]

I totally agree.

Supposedly lots of rumours JR is walking out.
Surely just rumours his career would be basically over if he just walked away and don’t think we’ll panic just yet. It’s not even that bad. St mirren result is first one that was an unexpected result just performances been really poor. Just need to steady the ship again. Think everyone just in tailspin after alkmaar result. They went on and pumped Vicente 4-0 so they’re seriously good team

He was accused in the past for being too defensive minded. He will will want to be ultra defensive now. Never mind attractive attacking for now.

Michael O’Neill available

Just saying

Can't see Ross walking in what would be a football suicide and I don't see us firing him either.

I don't really care which signing was his and which was Tony's, he's got some very good players, he needs to coach them.

Starting 541 on Sunday with at least one pacy player in the 4. It may not get us a result but we need to stop being overwhelmed.

Do wonder what the mindset of both management and players is heading into the game on Sunday, worryingly I think it could be the same as the fans ie "How many are we gonna concede?"

At least 6 I reckon.

That followed by Wednesday away at Livi and it could be curtains.

Christ knows where we go from there.

Good shout that - if things don't improve in next 5-6 games, hopefully they do and we won't be concerned about who is next

Was completely relaxed going into these fixtures last season

Only positive about Sunday, it can't be as bad as people are expecting, so as fans we can go to the game with a nothing to lose, bring it on attitude, football can be a funny game, if only we could get the fans that are going up for it, I mean AZ at home happened, Celtic can have an off day, they (famous last words) aren't scoring for fun as yet

Also we dominated possession against St Mirren who benefitted from our errors to counter on us, with a bit more care we draw at worst, we will be the team sitting in and trying to counter, very different game

[the_arab]

If he sets us up the same as last few games with Edwards/Mulgrew in a back 4, with a lightweight midfield with no one protecting the defence then we will get pumped. There are no excuses for Ross if he does that, it will prove he literally hasn't got a clue with this squad and is not willing to change to suit and that will absolutely worry me.

Regardless of the result, Ross has to show he understands who is in the squad and that he's attempting a formation that should suit them.

I'm the manager, and, my team plays this way, and.......... I'm the manager, and, I would like my team to play this way, sound very similar, yet are worlds apart.

I agree , the manager has to be the Boss with final say on everything, or it just won't work. But.......... good managers listen to players and fans.

I really hope in the future JR can get us playing the way he wants, but... for now... shut the back door, protect the defence, (and keeper) and play someone close to SF. Fletcher wins 99% of headers, holds the ball up pretty well, lays the ball off no bad too. Lets get this game out of the way (with a draw) and move on.

PS: anyone got any Rohypnol for Jota's water bottle ???

I'd start Graham in defence and Mulgrew in midfield...

JR is head coach, not manager. 🤪
