Footballs coming Rome Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Credit to the lad for the performance this week although we did look like we would concede we created a lot of chances. Playing football on the deck more and Miovski looked threatening again. Link to comment
Millertime Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Another superb interview, post match "We don't have a long-ball striker so we don't play like that" "It's all about what we do, nobody else" Like him and hope he hangs about 1 Link to comment
Rico1903 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 He must have been as frustrated as the players with the way Robson wanted to play. Link to comment
JojoJuan Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I kinda feel like we would have been better just having him take the games until we found a new manager, rather than taking Warnock in temporary. Link to comment

davierobb Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 We look like coceding coz we have no height. Ball on the ground we are fine , but come crosses we are out struggling with so many small players. But it would help if we at least tried to close the wide player , we allow too many crosses into our box from out wide. Link to comment

DelMonte Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 That quote about not having a target man and wanting to play on the floor is so encouraging but so deflating too. Wasted so much time with this squad playing a brand of football that doesn’t suit them at all. 1 Link to comment
TerryMcDermott Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 5 hours ago, Sooper-hanz said: Bang on. Gartermann, get rid. We need two decent,regular centre halfs. Ruby I’d keep, McDonald can go. McKenzie is improving and yet to peak. Gartenmann is surely done at the club. There’s no reason to persevere with players who clearly aren’t what we need. He fits that bill all day. Link to comment
BrisDon Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I reckon Ruby with a more cultured player next to him will be a good player for us. A bit like how both Diamond and Considine were decent partners for Ando but fucking catastrophic together. Link to comment
alscotoz Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Leven can lead us to safety... but doesn't deserve to be rewarded with an extension. Absolute clear out required 1 Link to comment

Are folk forgetting the liability he often was, diving in, conceding fouls & penalties, or charging about out of position, leaving a hole at the back? I’m far from convinced by him. Has a great attitude, hopefully whoever is new manager can coach him to be far more calm & less rash. 3 Link to comment

Bobo Balde and Marvin Andrews were both carthorses who were massive units who did well in this league. Granted that was two decades ago but the point is we need a class defender to marshal the defence which we don’t currently have. Link to comment

BaaBaaRedSheep Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I knew that Warnock wasn't going to succeed when he abandoned Leven's on the deck second half performance against Tims and went for the long ball approach against Huns. I appreciate that a passing game is often beyond certain players, certainly some of ours, but that's what you get if you sign athletes and try to turn them into footballers instead of the other way round. Morris is a particular case in point. Robson used to go on about the running ability of the team. We're supposed to be a football team not training for the Olympics. At least Leven sees what should be the approach on the pitch and, hopefully, the new manager will be likewise and recruit football players to suit. 2 Link to comment

Not saying he's anything great, but just identifying that basic fact puts him ahead of Robson and Warnock who persisted with long, direct football when we don't have the players for it. I think we'd be as well giving Leven the job until the end of the season now - he can clearly get the players playing in a style that suits them and which they actually like. Changing things yet again is only going to have a negative effect. We're clearly nowhere near ready to appoint a new manager anyway, so better to take a bit more time and get the right one than just bring in Neil Lennon right now because he's the only one who wants the gig.

aberdeen1970 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Let's just try and win the next game. Plenty of false dawns over the last few years without guaranteeing folk longer tenure based on 90 minutes work 4 Link to comment
milne_afc Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Aye, well done yesterday but he’s exposed himself as a bit of a coaster/waster if he didn’t want the pressure of taking the first team before Warnock was appointed. Should be looking to rid ourselves of another festering hun ASAP. 4 Link to comment

It begs the question, was Leven making it known that the team should be playing the way he wants them to play due to a lack of target man and he was being ignored or did he just keep quiet and not tell his bosses the style was useless.

If he was that keen on it he would have done it against Dundee. Well done for yesterday and same again for Ross County if he's still in charge but one comment in the media doesn't make a manager. 1 Link to comment
