Something similar was said to me the other day by another fan -- along the lines of
"If he's like this with the senior team, I wouldn't like to think he's doing the same with our youths, to the detriment of other promising youngsters coming through, who might not be getting their fair go."
Results like yesterday were also happening with Cardoso and Pena in the team.
We've got a squad of bang average players because of the last 2 managers
I still dont think Holt is anywhere near good enough, we saw it last season aswell but yes if course the 442 doesnt help but we need bigger more powerful centre mids in there for the fight.
No they weren't.
Look at the team sheets, we only lost 2 league games up until Murty got the gig again. Robbed at home v Hibs by John Beaton and at at home to Celtic. Not losses to bottom of the table teams like Hamilton and Dundee or mid table Kilmarnock or St Johnstone.
A Hamilton team that hadn't won in the league at Ibrox for nearly a hundred years and a St Johnstone who hadn't won at Ibrox for nearly fifty.
I've said this for weeks and was told I was accusing him of xenophobia
He clearly wants to stick to a core group that he knows. That is obvious.
What's also obvious is that there is another group of players who are held to a standard others aren't.
How can Bates be ahead of Cardoso for example ?
How can Wilson stink the place up and be untouchable ?
How can Holt be chosen as an attacking midfielder ahead of Pena?
For me, I was shouting for cardoso on for Hodson, go 3 at the back, and Peña on for Candeias. Tav and John would then slot into wingback roles, McCrorie, Holt and Peña in the middle, with Peña just behind Morelos and Windass.found myself screaming at the TV from the 47 min yesterday to get Barjonas and Cardoso on as a blind man could see what was coming
any time the camera panned round to Murty - like a rabbit in the headlights, like a wee boy who lost his mammy in a shopping centre...
Clarke must have thought this is Xmas come early - when u factor in they had Boyd and B foot in their side that is up there with the worst 45 mins I have seen from a Gers side only luck stopped it being 4 or 5 and he waits till the 83 min to bring on our Mexican Int - too late son, the game was gone from the 2nd half when u did not change anything
nice man and thanks for trying but the Board (his bosses) must replace him asap and back to the U20's please
got to agree was watching game at my auld dads yesterday an i kept saying murty has to make some so of change as we couldn't sustain that amount of pressureTotally agree, from 60 minutes it was obvious that a change was needed then we are 2-1 down game over.
Just a joke
Good accurate post mate,sums it up perfectly.Wes - Signed from Swindon
Hodson - Signed from MK Dons
Bates - Signed from Raith Rovers
Wilson - Signed from Hearts
Tav - Signed from Wigan
Holt - Signed from Hearts
McCrorie - First season in first team
John - Signed from Cardiff
Candeias - Journeyman
Windass - Signed from Accrington
Morelos - Signed from Helsinki
Look at where our starting 11 against Killie have all came from and is it any wonder we are struggling? None of them have the experience playing of playing with a big club and having the expectation of winning every week.
Out of all of them I'd keep McCrorie and Morelos for the starting 11 so that 9 positions we need to improve on and pretty much a whole new team again.
Murty is not the answer to fix this and we need to get a manager in Asap to start the rebuilding. We should be looking at buying 2 or 3 established players each season and if it takes 3 years to build a solid team then so be it. We can't keep signing below average players each season just to make up a team.
I hope the supporters that chanted his name and made it easy for the board to shafts us are happy.Without trying to shift too much of the blame away from the shambles of a boardroom, what is the deal here?
IMO it doesn't even seem like inexperience is his main problem, he's genuinely just not picking his best players.. Guys like Hodson, Bates & Holt constantly in the team ahead of Cardoso & Pena and the like. He didn't even attempt to introduce anyone when it was clear something needed changed yesterday, and the only sub he appears willing to make is Herrera with 5 to go in every single game..
And it also begs the question, who exactly picked the team for the sheep games? Why has he since ditched the successful diamond (as well as Carlos Pena) and went back to the formation that wasn't working?
Just dreadful management.
Even if so that would show terrible forward planning. It might get to the point where a high earner could decline this club if they look at, the club needs soft loans, plus Pena and Herrera's gametime and subsequent binning. They would probably feel they need to score every game or else be benched/targeted and may turn it down.Or has he turned to the old guard as he"s been told we need to get rid of the bigger wage earners?
