    See if the club aren’t going to employ these people, we might as well do away with the manager and coaches aswell and just employ a * hypnotist half an hour before every game

    Our corners,throw ins and even free kicks are a joke.

    But i dont think a specialists couch is required.Its not rocket science,kids do it every sunday in the park throw the ball to a team mate....ye its that simple.Our problem is our players dont move about and make themselves available and ye dont need a throw in coach to sort that,the manager just needs to have a word in their ears and tell them to * stop standing around and make them selves available.

    The board and the manager have been getting a bit of stick lately(deservedly so)but imo the players need a kick up the *,their getting away with half arsed effort on the pitch and they need a reminding by the fans of what we expect of them.

    Even from a business point of view it makes sense to have a proper coaching team covering all aspects of the game, the squad will function better, it would pay dividends on the park which in turn would lead to success and would generate more revenue.

    The wheels of the club would run a lot smoother than what we're seeing right now, doing things on the cheap ironically ends up costing more in the long run, thought the Board would've realised that by now, but apparently not.

    Do you think if David Martindale or Tam courts had our players at their disposal they would have won ?
    Stop making excuses for him man, he's had more than enough to be beating these teams. He's being out thought and his teams out fought. His system is primary school stuff, unbelievably easy to play against, it has been exposed to * already.

    Far too early to get the pitch forks out, unlucky yesterday from what I seen, and he’s stuck with Ajeti he’d be better off playing one of the youngsters.

    The excuses folk are desperate to trot out is pathetic. Fact of the matter is 7 of the 11 were his players, and his players or not, they should be wiping the floor with these teams.
    * just can't admit or accept that this is looking more and more like our Caixinha moment.
    His tactics are brutal. His team selections are brutal. His in game management is brutal.

    Should we be beating Hearts, Livingston and Dundee Utd, yes we should, but football isn’t played on paper and we won’t always win these games. Has the board left us with a strong enough squad to compete on all fronts, absolutely not. That isn’t Postecoglou’s fault.

    Of course it is. We should be beating these teams, and comfortably.
    If we need a complete full squad to beat the lesser teams in the league, then we're *. Game is a bogey.

    Squad was a wee bit thin but no one could predict this amount of injuries, it is the sign of a good manager how you deal with that and Ange is failing, we still have more than enough to beat these sides, it's basically Kyogo or bust with this manager, for me that is extremely limited.

    I don't understand how people can criticise the board but then stand by the appointment of Ange he is part of the under investment. Again I'm not calling for him to be sacked but I can still criticise the appointment

    Absolutely. Because he is a * winner !
    His only fault is he wins too much.

    Where are all these daft aussies that were talking nonsense ?

    You're all going to look very silly in May 2023 when he lifts the European cup above his head ... Cos he was kept on as a tour guide

    He'll be back in Japan, sitting in a lofty 5th position, with a whopping 51 percent win ratio.

    I'm no completely writing him off but it's no looking good..

    His lack of in game management and having no plan B, just won't cut it. His in game management is diabolical..

    Some of his selections and timing of subs are baffling..

    His insistence on a high tempo with Turnbull and Rogic every other day, is mental..

    I was on board but the signs are really bad at present. He looks clueless on the sidelines..

    The Dundee United manager who only operated at Kelty Hearts before, came to us with big player's missing, 16 year olds in and exposed us over and over. That won't do..

    Some wee * rat at Livi who thinks he's the ticket, tactically schooled him last week with ease..

    He needs to change his approach for a bit, that's what good manager's do, adapt. We don't have the personnel to play exactly how he wants just now but he'll never deviate away from a set-up that isn't really that fluid when 2 player's are out and leaves us massively exposed time after time..

    As I say, I'm no completely gone on him as there is some thing's I've liked. Our high intensity, pressing and attacking has been good...at time's..

    Right now though, we look like we're going nowhere..

    The honeymoon period is definitely over for me. Don't win at Pittodrie and fail to get anything from a fourth consecutive away game? The knives will be out and you can't blame anyone..

    We'll learn what he's made of. He can either come out and shut a lot of people up and get us motoring, or he keeps it exactly the way it is, stale, slow midfields with no protection or runners beyond....and the whole support turns on him..

    It's up to him now. No more excuses..

    Just gotta get to the next international break without any more slip ups. Then key players come back from injury and we can hit the refresh button a wee bit and get going again. That makes winning at Aberdeen essential. Going off Aberdeen's start to their campaign, this isn't the same 3rd place contending team it has been in recent years. I'm also wanting to see a bit of pragmatism on Thursday. I've said it before - if Ange doesn't learn pragmatism then this will be another trophyless season

    Agree with most of that mate. I was fully on board, but thinking back in hindsight, maybe it was naivety, I'm totally scunnered now.
    We all seen this coming, that's what the most annoying thing about it is. Watching a car crash in slow motion.

    Aye Kyogo and McGregor were massive to our fortune's..

    We shouldn't be as heavily reliant on them though..

    Maybe we did gas ourselves up a bit too much over some big wins against poor side's at home but there was signs of positivity before that anyway..

    I'm scunnered myself. We've been given a hugh reality check over this wee spell now..

    We can only hope we hang on in there and they drop point's, we get player's back and find some consistency until January..
