Murphy

[The Beautiful South]

Critical time in our season now. Do we keep Murphy because we can?t afford to get rid of him with the resultant drop in attendance due to the drivel performances which are being produced.
Or do we bin him now and hope his successor can get an improvement from the players.
I?m definitely in favour of the latter option.

Don?t like to see anyone lose their job but it?s a result based industry when you are a football manager. His time is up IMO.

Young Gibbo supplying the goods yet again. 5 assists in 5 games for Montrose. He?s certainly proving his doubters wrong and those at Palmy who didn?t want him back on loan.

Another interview where the manager has nothing to do with the defeat. Madness to put Reece in defence and weaken our midfield. When Kennedy was subbed on Reece was going mad not knowing where he was playing. Not a happy team.
It is the managers job to build a team with different skills and build team spirit which he has been lacking in.
Smith and Stott were poor.
I thought Mackenzie showed promise and showed some passion.

Players arguing on the pitch again yesterday. Even they have had enough.

I wasn't at the game but the highlights look a very disjointed performance. Peter says we kept going to the end but it doesn't look like we were battering Stranraer to get the equaliser.
Yesterday seemed a good chance to build on the Alloa win but it just seems to have added to the frustration of fans and worryingly the players which Sandra even raises in her interview.
The coaching team seem to have lost sight of what we are trying to do. You can't tell me a firebrand of a player like Colin McMenamin would enjoy how we are approaching games and you can see the same in the players.
Onto Peterhead so let's get the team motivated and leave the excuses at home.

His time is up. This quite simply can?t go on. The fans deserve better.

Sadly, I cannot see a way out of the morass. Making the team more defensive at 2-0 down was a bewildering decision.

[Threefivetwo]

Lack of invention, lack of direction and lack of motivation from the manager down. Players have to take a bit of the blame here as well. Make no mistake, from what I saw at Palmerston earlier in the season, Peterhead are no Barcelona so that was a shocking result.

Who knows where the club are heading as there will be a lot of fans reluctant to return while this shambles is on display, probably me included it pains me to say. Loyaltys a wonderful thing but wasting £20-30 of my hard earned money on a bunch of charlatans who show zero effort or care is a sign of stupidity

[qosdreamer]

The lack of motivation is stark. Peter is standing on the touchline arms folded doing nothing. The players don't believe in the gameplan and the manager won't change or can't change.
The substitution of Leslie looked like bringing on Scott to try and get some control in midfield but he put him in the same position that hadn't worked all game. Mind numbingly stupid.

Following the furore over the Cletic manager's quote: what's the difference between Brendan Rogers and Peter Murphy? Murphy's been given the keys to a Ferrari (for League I) but drives it like a Honda Civic, - whereas Rogers has been given the keys to a Honda Civic (for the SPL) and expected to drive it like a Ferrari.

In other words, a lot of money has been spent assembling the team Murphy wanted, - but he's not using it to its full potential. We are full time for heaven's sake, - with some very well paid players, - our part time opponents would love to be in our position.
