muttonhumper Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Why don't we have a defending coach?* Surely such a thing exists? It's patently obvious that any coaching the defenders are getting is from some cunt who doesn't know what they are doing. The disorganisation at the back is too ubiquitous in games this season for any other explanation? *please do not say we actually have one Link to comment

Kincardine_Mearns_Red Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Bottom line is if you cant defend you will achieve nothing. 2 clean sheets in 23 tells its own story. Link to comment

Defend and put the ball in the oppositions net. Aberdeen can’t afford to wait a year before Stevie boy gets his team and shit together MR CORMACK. You are looking at a relegation battle. Get the cheque book out in January and a manager that can spot talent, to spend the money on. Link to comment

Alex Ferguson Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I see Norwich sacked their manager after he WON! We should have sacked Glass despite the Hibs result and we should have sacked him despite him winning the "Dave Cormack Last Week of October trophy" and the "statistically the best manager of the month award".

Guest Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Let's face it DC has employed a mate / puppet (delete as appropriate), who, whether we like it or not, is serving his managerial apprenticeship in the Premiership. Positive results in the Hibs, Huns and Hearts matches really, really surprised me. However another couple of negative results against United and Tims will return us to the question posed via this thread. I, personally, wanted SG punted post Dundee loss. If we go into another winless run pre- January window, he has to go before then. Sorry but he ain't cutting it for me, particularly defensively, which should be the foundation of any good manager / team. Link to comment

The problem is even if we bin Glass, your not going to like the alternatives as it will be another emerging talent. Link to comment

Ach, that's nothing... we sacked a manager after he qualified for Europe ? Link to comment

Trundle until end of season. Better get used to it. No words will change it. Sounds about right. We'll surely pick up more than enough points to avoid any prospect of relegation, but much more of this shite and we'll be finishing circa Craigy Broon territory once again. Link to comment

However will be interesting to measure the mood of the majority of fans once we are into February / March, out of the Scottish Cup and languishing in 9th or 10th position in the league. DM had most definitely went stale but none of us imagined that we would have regressed yet further still. Nothing wrong with going two steps back to go three steps forward but we're going so far backwards, particularly defensively as I say, that finding forwards again with this regime is going to be difficult. Seriously I would punt Glass, install Brown as player/ manager, and bring in an experienced, older coach as his assistant. Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I'm beginning to find his post-match comments a bit tiresome. Almost like a politician in stringing a lot of words together to say absolutely nothing. Link to comment

RED_JOHN Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Glass will know we lack a real threat going forward and are absolutely terrible in defence. He will get the January transfer window to get it right and hopefully we see big changes in the team in the new year. For now..we will just need to trundle along until January. Link to comment

DD1903 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I've just had a proper look at Glass' managerial career stats. Deary me what a horrid read. I didn't realise he'd lost more then half the games he's managed in. Brutal Link to comment

Guest Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 22 minutes ago, DD1903 said: Sat back too much in the second half against the rangers Don't think we could've got out if we tried! Glassy isn't the man. Saturday proved it again, he deserved his chance, made a good fist of it for a week, but the goals/general play on Saturday is exactly what we've been seeing all season long. No penetration in the build up, our best chances being set pieces. Basic defending not being done, giving up huge chances and allowing other teams to sit in. It's poor. The signings have been poor, they haven't addressed problems we had in the squad to start with, namely, lack of a creative presence in midfield and a competent centre half. Tactically he was scunnered Saturday, Motherwell do what they always do, come and sit in, try counter, and it worked. No plan B from Glass, the defence is honestly an abomination. Sooner we realise this, we can wash our hands of the project and try crack on as normal. Link to comment

Guest Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Glass has had a 50%+ loss rate in all his managerial roles to date. On that basis I will estimate that current performances will "earn" us 10 wins, 9 draws and 19 defeats over a 38 match season. That's 39 points, which Ross County achieved last season in 10th place which was 3 points above Kilmarnock in the, ultimate, relegated play off place. In summary, if DC retains Glass for the season, we will be in a relegation fight from the turn of the year onwards. With our current defence don't fancy our chances. Hope I am totally wrong but, barring the 7 points week, the above scenario becomes more real with each passing week. I suspect things will be equally as horrific after the next two away games at United and Tims... Link to comment

We've a problem at the back just now, likely because we've 5 defenders oot. Calm the fuck doon. 1 Link to comment
