vonwright Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 ...is that I no longer have any idea what might make things better. Usually as a fan you can at least say 'Well if he played this formation/player/tactic/blah then we'd be doing much better'. Of course it's probably complete nonsense, but it's at least a sign that you believe there's something there, some players who might make a difference. With this current lot I have no idea. Five at the back, Sibley, whatever. None of it seems to make any difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think we've just got to play more direct like we did at the start under Rooney. In recent weeks we've been trying to play this passing football on the floor and this lot just simply aren't capable of it. It's all in front of the opposition and we're not creating anything. We need to get in behind more, get their defenders turning and scrap for a few results. We did that earlier and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIllyD Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The last year has shown me that no matter what happens I have missed match days. Not so much the football, but the beers prior to the game, the banter, the beers after the game, seeing people I haven't seen for ages and in case I didn't mention it the beers at half time. Therefore as bad as it is, next season we will be able to do this again, be it in the championship or the first division. So as much as it is depressing now, there is for me, light at the end of the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop playing five at the back. Play Shinnie or Knight, not both. Don't play Bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The thing that depresses me most is we’ve gone from a club and team that was quite admired by other teams fans under Mac 1 to fans (and in some cases, owners) of other clubs enjoying our demise. Not nice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r_wilcockson Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Play CKR and Gregory up top together and we'll be fine. We're a far better team with Gregory in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney1991 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Probably for manager to not pick a team based on the opposition every game and making 4 or 6 changes. Settled team for the run in and don’t play shinnie and knight in the middle play 1 of them and get some technical brains in the middle of the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite only being involved in 13 of our games this season, Bielik gets my vote for POTS. A mark of how much of a difference he made... and how poor the rest of them have been in his absence.
