The manager simply cannot escape criticism on the back of the last two results

[WinkieWATP]

Not for me anyway. Ross County and Dundee and we have witnessed two diabolical first half performances and the manager never made a single substitution at halftime in either game. Where was the manager that was brave enough to take Cantwell off before HT previously? He has moved Sima out of position despite him being our most dangerous forward.

They are all to blame

Players and management

 

[Del]

When players cannot match a run, find a pass or create chances they have been doing all season. He has an element of the blame but we have seen the same players bottle's crash year after year.

The measure of the man is having the balls to clear out these perennial losers

 

[Drovavan Dünaditch]

Bringing on Dessers, Dowell and Matondo done absolutely %^*& all to the side. If anything it made us worse. The squad is bloated with mediocre jobbers.

 

[GreenockRanger]

Whole things been a shitshow last couple of months, making subs constantly at half time means you have made a mess of your starting line up. He got away with it a few times, should have seen the red flags then.

 

[stein and johnston]

Him and us just witnessed the end of an era for this squad.
Hopefully there’s more quality and hunger coming in this summer.
That’s when we’ll judge him.

 

[Slipshod]

Continuing to play Goldson and pick garbage like Lawrence and Dowell will reflect on him.

 

[brain]

Correct, but plenty can't handle that tonight.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Three poor team selections on the bounce.

Got his subs wrong on Sunday and tonight.

Not the managers fault though. He needs a summer to get dead wood out and new lads in

Lawrence was struggling most the second half, he should have been off the park. He only gets paid thousands of pounds to be fit enough to play couple of games a week and he struggling, get him off and get him sold, pathetic.

Even allowing for the fitness and injury issues, his starting 11s and suns have been wrong every week for about a month

 

[JC85]

Can't disagree with that at all. Beggars belief that Lawrence stayed on the park.

 

[VMS]

Last 4 starting to question PC now fcking not good enough should have stuck with Gio

 

[Partickger]

The whole malaise that has set in on the pitch seems to have transferred to the dugout. Clement has gone from a guy who knew what he was doing to totally ineffectual.

 

[TheScotty]

Not playing Sterling in midfield leaves the manager culpable for the results.

 

[Drovavan Dünaditch]

Not the managers fault though. He needs a summer to get dead wood out and new lads in

Yeah I'm with you, my point was poorly articulated but it was in response to 'why didn't he make changes at half time'

 

[DerHammer88]

Continuing to play Goldson and pick garbage like Lawrence and Dowell will reflect on him.

What's the alternative?

Davies for Goldson?

Raskin for Lawrence?

Geez peace.

 

[Pentasa]

95% the players fault 5% the Manager

 

[FDB1978]

Multiple other problems at the club put aside all we seem to do now is get Goldson to hump a hopeful long ball up to the strikers and that’s pretty much it.

We’ve no real pattern of play at all at the moment.

 

[Drovavan Dünaditch]

Not playing Sterling in midfield leaves the manager culpable for the results.

Starting Barisic just isn't an option. That's a bigger dereliction of duty.

 

[Burgh-Ger]

Three poor team selections on the bounce.

Got his subs wrong on Sunday and tonight.

The bench wasn’t exactly awash with talent.

Borna, Davies, King and Raskin the only ones not getting on.

Terrible squad of players

 

[stein and johnston]

This squad is dire. No matter what permutations he went with he’s got sod all to play with.

 

[TonyAtTheBing]

He's contributed to us bottling it but we wouldn't be here without him, tough one tbh.

Needs backed and see what he can do without a team full of rejects.

 

[Ranger1003]

Here we go again another manager gets the sack and the same old ones collect 30k a week and carry on till they retire

 

[VMS]

Like beale he's fcked it simple

 

[TheScotty]

Play Davies at LB. Play anyone at LB.

Sterling is our best midfielder.

 

[Robert Prytz]

After watching that interview I think we will be looking for a manager before October, maybe sooner if this shambles continues until the end of the season, he looks lost.

 

[ricicles]

Bite the hand off any English championship side that offer a couple of hundred grand for him.

A cowards performance from Lawrence tonight and I have no idea how he seen the game out.

 

[Unicorn]

It's a squad full of mediocre players who aren't mentally cut out for a title race

 

[GersFanHutch]

Sterling at LB when it’s been screaming for him in the midfield.

It has actually hindered us because Sterling has no left foot and continually has to come inside and expose himself to danger. Also means zero width on the left.

I would much rather prefer any youngster who’s actually left sided. Team is so unbalanced.

 

[Drovavan Dünaditch]

Play Davies at LB. Play anyone at LB.

Sterling is our best midfielder.

Reality is, we start Barisic tonight who cannot stop a cross into the box and we go 1 down. There's not a chance we're taking anything from the game regardless of who the defensive midfielder it.

 

[SpandauBear]

Criticism - absolutely.


Calling for his head as some are already on here - mental.

 

[magoob1982]

Continuing to play Goldson and pick garbage like Lawrence and Dowell will reflect on him.

As much as I agree with you who do we replace godson with? Unfortunately we're stuck with him until next season

 

[GreenockRanger]

Can see why his national coach doesn't pick him, not the kind of player you need when your backs against the wall

 

[BobbyShearer55-65]

He's treating the fans like complete morons.

We have eyes, Phillipe.

 

[MarkWalters11]

What’s the guy supposed to say though. If he slaughters them he loses the dressing room and we win nothing

 

[Elvis]

Like beale he's fcked it simple

No. Beale fucked him good and proper before he started, with that squad and those summer transfers.

 

[JD1872]

He’s made some mistakes in the last few games, we have been needing a second more defensive midfielder in the team for weeks now to stop teams countering on us.

Problem he has at the moment is whoever he plays they are letting him down. He does not have good options

 

[inigo]

What's the alternative?

Davies for Goldson?

Raskin for Lawrence?

Geez peace.

Davies for Sterling , Sterling in midfield.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Here we go again another manager gets the sack and the same old ones collect 30k a week and carry on till they retire

Is it just the same old players though? I honestly thought when I saw Silvas reaction for to being subbed at the weekend even though he was fucking shocking that it might be the last we see of him but he starts tonight.

 

[Mollysblackcoat]

Big PC was working miracles with this lot we all said when he took us to the top of the league. Now this bunch of shysters revert to type and now it's all big PC's fault. Couldn't make it up.

 

[Barnster Bear]

What’s the guy supposed to say though. If he slaughters them he loses the dressing room and we win nothing

He has nothing to lose

 

[Vidmar]

Sterling was caught too narrow multiple times tonight.

I’ve no idea where the notion that he can play LB has come from. He’s looked awkward as hell in there.

 

[The Predator]

Only the last two?

It's been garbage since the 5-0 Hearts game.

I've no idea what he's trying to do for us now tbh

 

[TheScotty]

Reality is, we start Barisic tonight who cannot stop a cross into the box and we go 1 down. There's not a chance we're taking anything from the game regardless of who the defensive midfielder it.

Who has mentioned starting Barisic? He’s not been suggested anywhere.

 

[Onslow52]

I agree he makes the team selection, but what are the alternatives it's not to say we have a bench of subs that are inspirational or going to world beaters.

We have a core of a team that should have been phased out long ago, a midfield that treats the ball like a landmine and a strike force that are, well on strike.

We are devoid of ideas, ponderous and and laboured in everything we do.

 

[Mview83]

Not for me anyway. Ross County and Dundee and we have witnessed two diabolical first half performances and the manager never made a single substitution at halftime in either game. Where was the manager that was brave enough to take Cantwell off before HT previously? He has moved Sima out of position despite him being our most dangerous forward.

I agree with you.

He deserves the time to build his own team and the players he did sign in Jan are injured but some of his selections, subs and decision making are completely baffling

 

[BigTinder86]

Everyone be should be accountable and not immune from criticism.

However - this lot have now done the same with 4 managers in charge.

We could get Pep in next, and the same would happen.

Clemente has to make some big decisions in the summer, our top men have fallen short again, incapable of pulling the others over the line with them.
