Here is my tuppence worth.
Do Rangers have better players than us?
Well that's debateable and we could argue all day on that one but they are certainly comparable.
If we were to chose a striker in the league most even sevconians would pick eddy.
A midfielder? again Mcgregor would be most peoples pick.
Defender? Again Ajer would be the choice of most.
Now some sevconians would argue 1 or 2 of those but they are a better TEAM not better individually.
Now if your spine is good u have a good base to work on.
My point here is its not the talent players have its the talent the coaches have or rather they don't have.
Our team looks disjointed and unbalanced, they look like they are winging it when out there.
Thats down to coaching or lack of, Sparta, Ferencvaros Rangers etc found it easy to play against us.
Why?
Simple we play the same way week in week out, regardless of system its attack attack attack.
If we struggle to score pour more players forward.
Add to that slow defenders high up and your in real trouble.
Why are we never compact and invite the opposition on?
Look at the pace we have up front why not utilise it like liverpool do.
Our press usually consists of Christie and others watching him.
Set pieces? We got a great taker in LG but he not fit, Really? He can't play 30-40 mins etc and build fitness that way.
We have a lethal partership up front in LG and Eddy but not played together why not?
We have young legs in midfield but don't play them. Why not?
There is a team there of that there is no doubt, is it good enough to claw it back? Well you never know but what i do know the manager is not good enough to do it he has proved that all season with turgid performances, even those we win.
Lets get someone in who can coach and organise us and make us difficult to beat.
If your difficult to beat you use the talent further up the field to win you games.
Simple really.
As for my choice well its me ofcourse lol.
Couldnt do any worse.
If we want an organiser then Oneil or strachan till end of season could be good choices.
Long term Eddie Howe would be good.

Its hard to disagree with any of that, and other points made elsewhere, regarding our player quality, versus output on the park. it is just wrong.

It can be argued that DUff inspired our post Christmas renaissance, and those foreign player with us saw him as the man who helped them progress.
Gone. and not replaced with any profile.


Something has changed, and went badly badly wrong during the summer.

A patch work quilt of signing who couldn't get a game elsewhere, almost to a man. and a lot of cash. Ajeti plus klimala = eddy investment!

Who was monitoring Griff during lockdown these guys are tracked all the time, if not why not.

At falls on NL and great servants should know when to go.

If we were going to change manager before Christmas it would have happened during the international break as other have said.

Lennon isn't happy, he doesn't appear to look after himself either.

The league would be miracle without another collapse ( unlikely, they have progressed as we have gone backwards. beeping in the parking bay where RDelia left us.

Our full backs have been down graded to a 3m signing from Kilmarnock! , a journey man on loan, and a young player learning his trade.

We will have a sorry from the board at the end of May and not before.

Why would they spend now on what, a miracle!

I am praying for several!

Quite a selective post. We would bite their hand off for McGregor, Barasic and this season Tavernier. Going back the last 9 years I'd have been lucky to select any of their squad for our bench.

I get your point though. They are slick and drilled and all pulling in the same direction. We are not. Lennon has come out with every excuse under the sun, he cannot admit this is the problem.

I expect a heavy defeat mid week and a new man in by this time next week.

The more I think about Eddie Howe the more I think no. I don't think he has done anything to merit being manager of our club.
