Goalkeeper

[TerryTheTerror]

Wtf has happened to Edwards? He was our man mountain. The Blackpool Tower. Nothing went passed him for a while. He was dominant in the air in both boxes. Now he's as weak as sh*t. His body language his absolutely horrendous.

Honestly, I've never wanted a manager out of my club as much as I do right now. We are literally falling apart and heading into oblivion as a team, and as individuals, before our very own eyes and it's getting worse every week!!

Tam got pelters but his mister nice guy and being everyone's best mate management style, but that seems to be what these players need. As much as the criticism is deserved, Ross's comments in the press about the players are only going to further kill their confidence.

I think it's pretty clear JR can't get a performance out of this group of players. That's the players the club have, nothing to be done about that so there is only one feasible solution.

The thing is, I'm usually the last one on here saying things like this. ☹️

You are, which is also concerning!!!

Do you really need to ask, I didn't blame him directly for the goals btw? It's his overall actions, positioning, decision making, he was all over the place, not closing a player when he should, not reading things, not staying on his line when he should, he was poor for a few of them and should be saving the one from the fk, he is a total dud of a keeper, make no mistake, nothing like a Benji, night and day

The same things were being said about Siegrist in his early days and do not deny it.

This is true. Remember he couldn't get a game initially.

Time to get a grip and re-focus ambitions for the season.
We've simply got to aim for no lower than 10th now.
At the moment (given goal difference) we are just 3 points off that target.
This is recoverable - but need to see an upturn soon and not let that gap grow.

The saving grace is it is early in the season, and as crazy as it sounds when you look at those scorelines, it's not beyond turning round, albeit we will be scaling down our ambitions for this season, but if the club/manger/players don't address the glaring to everyone else it seems problems asp we are looking at 3-4 defeats every game, it's that bad at the moment we aren't even thinking about our complete lack of creativity/goals despite seemingly having better players in that department this year.

Erikson certainly looking like a No 1 today

If only we had had him in place earlier - the slide might not have happened so quickly and we might have more points

Maybe the fact he has been in around the squad for a while longer than the Twitteroo will help him gel with the squad with more game time.

Siegrist was colossal for us, he turned it on in some big games and this whole confidence and trust thing feeding through defence midfield can't be underestimated. Siegrist looking back got us some key results against his would be employers frequently(great performances against old firm).

Ross was a late appointment, many of our signings were late with lengthy work permit issues etc, the team is only now showing some slight recovery signs of gelling. Alkmaar at home was an anomaly because the players have never had that kind of backing before, it was clear to see. The dutch maybe didnt expect the power of the crowd either and wouldnt be surprised if this was a reason they held back away ticket allocation given there average attendance 4k short of their capacity. Any game after that would be a come down and clearly was for our players.

I think we'll kick on now as long as we don't get destroyed by Scotlands youngest club.

A mixed bag from the keeper on Saturday. He bottled a one on one with Van Veen, got himself confused and it could have led to a goal. He also fumbled a routine catch, luckily got away with it. In between he made some decent if routine saves and also saved the pen which hopefully will have boosted his confidence. Let's see what the next 2/3 games bring.

Agree totally. Was very hesitant first 15 mins. Could have cost a goal or pen. With the Van Veen incident. Punched a cross to the penalty spot and a Well player. Very fortunate the defence was quick to block shot. Had a few good saves too though even though most of them were routine. Second half he fumbled a routine save and was fortunate ref(very poor performance) gave a free kick.
Would say that the jury is still very much out though the penalty save will have given him confidence.
