Wants to succeed and you could say we are playing more on the front foot under him, just not really working the way we would all want. He knows how big a job this is. Is quite honest about what we are not doing right, " You could put a fan in charge of the club and all those statements would ring true He shouldn't be in the job. He's not experienced enough. I don't think I ever said I thought he was experienced enough, the suitable candidate for the job or who I would've wanted in. As manager of the club, I have given him my backing though and wanted him to succeed. Did you not do that, like? You are right, a fan would say that too but surely thats a good thing. As I have also said, if he has it in him to address the issues completely, that is a totally different thing. Link to comment

As mentioned, college fitba / soccer may be his level. I feel for the guy, he will have wanted to get things going and after the first few Euro games, it may have looked like a bit of a buzz was coming. Wheels came off big time from the Raith game onwards. He will get time but a lot of questions to be answered / things to be rectified already. October could be embarrassing, lack of points from the last few very winnable games kills any vibe going into a period where you'd want to be chucking everything at them and giving them something to think about. Unfortunately, we will be shitting the bed just thinking about those games. Link to comment

Simply Red Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Ramirez was a carthorse today. Absolutely pathetic from him. His missed chances cost us points. Id start with Duncan next game. edit. Is Duncan not a midfielder? Id play the striker from the 21s, whoever it is Link to comment

He’s a left winger but I agree, get him on the bench at least, and give him the opportunity that yesterday’s men like Nial McGinn or Hayes got instead. Link to comment

Stoneybloke Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 A few years ago Hearts appointed an inexperienced rookie manager. It turned out to be an unmitigated disaster and they ended up in the Championship. It's not outwith the bounds of possibility that we could follow the same path. Link to comment

Not that it guarantees you success, but he at least has the benefit of being able to understand footballers in that specific sense. Cathro was a coach with no decent playing experience chucked into a good job and it didn't work out. Also, it was Levein that got hearts relegated, Cathro left them in the top 6 I think? We're not going to get fucking relegated. Let's just take a breather here. I admire your optimism consi. I wish I shared it. for me, we absolutely look like potential relegation candidates. we are shite. can’t score, we create very few actual goal scoring opportunities and are completely and utterly incapable of keeping a clean sheet even against the league’s lesser lights. if we take the games against raith rovers, county, Motherwell, st j and throw in qarabag at home, what gives you confidence that we will not be in relegation trouble?

aberdeen1970 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I think we're almost definitely going to be in the bottom six pretty soon. Possibly this afternoon. Question is how long we stay there for. Tough run of fixtures in October as others have pointed out. Could be a fair few weeks before we see the top half again. Link to comment

His formations are a fucking mess and the team has no consistency. LIke yesterday he again played McCrorie in central defence when last week having Bates along side Gallagher seemed to be an improvement on what came before in that dreadful game. Now Gallagher is pretty average but i think would have been a better choice alongside Bates than McCrorie. Just looked like a senseless change again by Glass. He does this all the time.

But Livi's next 5 league matches are a helluva lot more appealing than ours are regarding gathering points. I did say that us being rock bottom wasn't an unreasonable possiblity. In practice, I suspect 3rd bottom is more likely. But no matter, we'll be closer on points to bottom place than top place. Link to comment

Unfortunately your statement above does reflect where I think we may be headed if DC doesn't wake up and smell the coffee. We are in serious decline at present and we need a manager with character, experience, very good tactical awareness and motivational skills. Glass clearly has none of the above but does fill the DC puppet role well. I have said it before and will say it again we will NOT earn many points during October and will be entrenched in the bottom six by then. I was one of the many who wanted stale DM out but never in a million years did I anticipate things to get worse under an Ian Cathro type experiment, which is 100% doomed to fail!!! Link to comment

Dundeedon Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 This weird experiment needs to end now before it gets worse if that's even possible. We shouldn't have let Davidson leave the stadium yesterday without making him an offer. Link to comment
