Wullie looked a broken man in his after match interview.

Wullie looked a broken man in his after match interview.

Aye he did and it's also obvious that he looks at social media which will do his mindset no good either.

The saddest thing is that Queens have tried to highlight the importance of looking after our mental health, yet our manager appears to be struggling with regards to the after match interview. Why do we put people through this after they've lost a match and played badly? We all know that 24 hours is a long time in football, and all Wullie and the players need is a rest, followed by a good training session to sort out the mistakes.

Let's remember, this was one bad result not five in a row and we had 3 top players out. Man City had one player out and they struggled to win 1-0!.

Granted we did not play well, but a wee bit of perspective is requires methinks.

This has nothing to do with mental health and everything about not being up to the job. This is the managers team with most of the players signed by him. I didn’t see much mental health issues when he got the job or when he won a few games. Tell me a time this season when he has kept a winning side for the following week. It’s always about changing the side to stop the opposition rather than having the opposition worry about us. We have never played with any width and mostly with one up front, yet when he changes things late in games we suddenly start looking the part, so why not start like that.
You say a little bit of perspective. This isn’t just about Saturday. It’s one of a number of poor performances this season so the perspective is certainly there. Annan, Clyde, Dunfermline, Falkirk Kelly etc etc shows the standards we are at.
Are we the worst in the league. Far from it. But we are certainly nowhere near being the best and bearing in mind we are in the second lowest league we should certainly be one of the best at least.
We have a keeper who struggles to catch a ball, two centre halves who don’t like to tackle, a right back who isn’t exactly quick. A centre forward who always plays despite hardly kicking a ball for us when he has played and doesn’t exactly put in the work he once did, wingers that are either left on the bench or played out of position and mostly, players that don’t seem to be playing for him. I could go on and on
So jardi, I am sorry this isn’t one bad result and like I said it’s nothing to do with mental health and simply an inability to get the best out of this squad of players that he has brought in

I listened to a very interesting podcast with Gordon Strachan on BBC Sounds the other day (Cammy & Ben's Podcast or something like that).

Strachan was saying how, when he first went to Celtic, after about 3 weeks he took his coaches aside and told them that they had to stop thinking about how they were going to stop the opposition and start thinking about how they could break the opposition down. I wonder if William has the mindset to be able to make that change?

[Spikefaethesouth]

Here's a question :-
From the long list of available, hence unemployed and by implication previously sacked for doing a poor job, would people choose as a replacement for Wullie if he were to step down or be dismissed?

[jardi]

I think that is completely insulting and not worthy of posting.

Do you mean my post? Don't see how? Iain Scott was a brilliant coach who just couldn't adjust to being a manager. I remember Davie Rae criticizing Iain McCall for never being at training, yet McCall assembled the best squad we ever had. Different people have different skills and I just wonder if William's skills suit an attacking style of play? Not saying he definitely isn't capable of it, but so far he does seem to be more from the Iain Scott school of stopping the opposition.

Looking back in the thread, I'm assuming it wasn't my post jardi was referring to, but I would like to look further at my Gordon Strachan comparison. Strachan's point was that he went from managing Coventry & Southampton, both of whom were among the weaker teams in their league, to Celtic, by far one of the top teams in theirs, and he had to totally rethink how he played the game. Gibson has gone from managing one of the weaker teams in The Championship to what should be one of the stronger teams in league one. Strachan at least had the advantage that he had experienced playing for a top team, I may be wrong but I can't recall Gibson having experienced that often in his playing career?
