don corleone Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It will be St mirren? - 0 Aberdeen. The only question is, can St mirren register a shot on target and get the win. This is shit, exactly the same as last season. Different manager, same crap. What's the fucking point. Complete lack of ambition. We might as well just fold. Link to comment

It’s a fucking fans forum too. Literally the reason it was created is to discuss the team. 1 Link to comment

Ramsay's a cracking player and I can't think of any goals conceded directly attributable to him. Long may he be with us and allow us to enjoy his game. Hopefully the manager and coaching team review his training schedule as a young loon should be able to last 90 minutes in a game without cramping up. Link to comment

Why are fans getting annoyed at the players? Other than perhaps Lewis who's form has dipped, the players are performing in line with the level of their careers to date. The problem was the horrendous transfer window and whichever incompetent buffoon was responsible for that. Why on earth are people baffled that players who were below the standard required for AFC prior to signing, are still below that standard after singing. Bizarre. Link to comment

In Jet’s and Ramirez’s cases, maybe they were shit before they arrived, wouldn’t know. McGeough hasn’t played enough for me to form an opinion if he is less or more shit than he once was At the end if the day, unless Steven Gunn is dealing with recruitment, the buck stops with the manger, for signing players who were already shit, or extending contracts to those who had proven they were past it and therefore shit.

Its shit Well Hayes and McGinn are ageing and that's to be expected. Whoever signed McGinn can't just shrug their shoulders and ask why isn't he performing like he's 27. I could maybe agree a wee bit with Ferguson. RE JET and Ramirez, we did know. The evidence was there to be found for those who wanted to see it. Whoever is responsible should be sacked or withdrawn from transfer duty, whether that is Glass, Gunn or A N Other. We simply cannot afford this level of fuck up, as its not a quick fix and can have ramifications for multiple seasons. See Matty Kennedy for example, we can't get rid of him. Link to comment

What's actually worse is that we've re-signed players we could have and should have got rid of when we had the chance - ie Devlin who will never play again, Virtanen who we decided to sell 5 minutes later, and McGinn who has been past it for a couple seasons (although he has been a great servant to the club). Even just letting Devlin and McGinn go could have freed up a few grand a week in wages that would have allowed us to bring in 1 more good player who could actually improve the starting line up. Instead we're stuck with 2 guys who will likely not muster more than 2 or 3 games between them this season. Link to comment

Well yeah it could have, but given how the transfer window went, its pretty certain that those wages wouldn't have been spent on a good player. They would have been spent on a shite player who thought all his Christmases had come at once. Link to comment

That’s worrying, almost like he lost his marbles whilst here so we have a duty to help him find them again. Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 The players and management can make life a hell of a lot easier for themselves by preparing properly and carrying out the task they set to do. Tolerance of players not performing properly weeks in a row is not on and must be addressed. It would mean players that are not used to getting dropped making way but hey ho…we should be here to win, no matter the cost. Link to comment

RED_JOHN Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Lewis, Ferguson and Ojo should definitely be 3 that should be dropped straight away. Every players form has dipped but these 3 just look like they are going through the motions. Link to comment

Ojo on the other hand is a known quantity of shite and is performing properly by his standards. So we have Ferguson and Lewis out of form and we're fucked. Says it all about the quality of the squad that Glass has assembled. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 31 minutes ago, RUL said: Who you dropping Lewis for exactly? Obviously it would be Woods. I don't think he's that far behind Lewis overall, his distribution and ability with his feet is certainly a lot better than Joe. As I've said before, I don't think Gnasher would be over enamoured with Lewis being benched given his earnings but a few games on the sidelines might concentrate Lewis' mind and get him to buck his ideas up.

Ferguson would definitely be making way also though….I think he has taken his eye off the ball and thinks he is better than he actually is. Link to comment

I won't be too harsh on Glass over Lewis but the signs were there last season. Unfortunately he opted against signing proper competition for Lewis, probably to have more money to spend on the outfield players, it's just a shame that he wasted it spectacularly. Link to comment
