ascender 352 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Last season I thought there were major things going on behind the scenes which weren't helping us on the pitch. This was because of what was being reported in the media, the rumours, little comments, the general lack of team spirit etc. In the end we didn't learn much other than there did seem to be elements within the team undermining AM and even a talking-to from DM didn't seem to change the players' attitude much. Fast forward to this season and its much the same. I could be totally wrong, but there still seems to be major problems in our squad. I don't buy in to the media conspiracy, that they're all against us, every fan I knows thinks that the papers are against their club. We've had some of the same rumours as last year and stories in the media about dressing room unrest, PLG not settling, thinking about leaving etc. Its pretty clear on the pitch that there's a lack of leadership and team spirit. Only this week we have Svensson admitting that there are distinct groups of players in the dressing room who socialise together. While this is a long way from disruptive cliques, I don't think its a good sign and I'm starting to wonder if there's more to the story than meets the eye. We've also seen PLG making some strange comments to the press about Ferguson, the goal-keeping situation earlier and seemingly struggling to find a good word to say about Boyd. We're not at Christmas yet and DM has had to have a word with the players about their performances. IMO he should have been telling them their wages would be donated to charity until they pulled their collective fingers out, but I'm guessing it was a general kick up the arse kind of talk which has so far fallen on deaf ears. I really hope I'm wrong here, but something's not quite right and it seems to be the same sort of atmosphere we had last season. The manager has changed along with a lot of the backroom staff, so its even more strange. There's usuall no smoke without fire although we all know that we do have a lazy media who will report any old nonsense, but I just have a bad feeling about all of this. Time to concentrate on the game against St Mirren which is, like the rest of our league matches, a must-win fixture. Time to get behind the team and PLG and let our voices be heard. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 850 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah its a good post Mike, What is baffling me most is there has been no change since last season. Even with a few new signings and double training sessions we still cant get the basics right. I wonder how much authority Le Guen has. I wonder the same about Ferguson as there seems to be a lot of niggles in there, but you would have to be a fly on the dressing room wall to find out what is going on. But the buck stops with Murray, surely he has to see whats going on and sort it out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

townhead ranger 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I got told back in October that their was discontent in the dressing room. I was told it was many of the senior players who were a bit fed up with Le guen spouting about respect with out earning it. I just took this being a lot of shit at the time but maybe it has a bit of truth to it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I got told back in October that their was discontent in the dressing room. I was told it was many of the senior players who were a bit fed up with Le guen spouting about respect with out earning it. If that is true then those same players are nothing more than hypocrites. Respect works both ways - maybe Le Guen hadn/t'hasn't earned it yet but anyone, and I mean anyone, tell me just what those players have done to earn ANYONE'S respect ??? Nothing. They can bitch and moan about respect all they like when they are providing performances and results on the pitch but not a moment before. If true then those senior players are hypocrites who need to realise that the people they need to satisfy most is the paying customer (fans) as well as the management. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
