You must agree we were far better last season in pretty much every department? It's like watching two completely different teams. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) You cannot compare the standard of teams from last season to this season , surely that isn't the basis for your point We were head and shoulders above Celtic in our cup match and destroyed Dundee too. I don't think there's that huge a difference between the divisions. Certainly not between the lower teams in this league and the upper ones in the second anyway. Our style has just completely fallen apart this season: the pace is pedestrian, the flowing passing moves are largely gone, we're extremely predictable and just don't have the same cohesion on the park. We've made poor signings to the detriment of the side and we're just nothing like the exciting, vibrant, high tempo side of last season. Put it this way, if the side we had a year ago was playing in this division right now, there is no way they'd be languishing in 5th place.

Rousseau 10,634 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) I agree "regression" is a tad strong. We dominated Celtic in the Semi, but still only managed to draw; they have since improved dramatically.

JFK-1 1,693 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Put it this way, if the side we had a year ago was playing in this division right now, there is no way they'd be languishing in 5th place. Though I would agree I don't think there is a great deal of difference between the top teams in the Championship and the bottom half of the SPL with hindsight I don't think our results against SPL opposition last season were so clear cut. First SPL opponent was St Johnstone where we lost 3-1 then Kilmarnock over two matches which returned a draw and a win then a win over Dundee and if you look at the SC semi over just the 90 minutes that was a draw. So from 5 matches you could say we had one defeat with two draws and two wins which isn't a great deal different from this seasons statistics if you double it to 10 matches with the same stats which would be two defeats 4 draws and 4 wins. That would return 16 points from 10 games which by coincidence is exactly what we have right now. Edited October 29, 2016 by JFK-1 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Anyone who wants to change out management team at this point in our rebuilding is absolutely bonkers , if it's only based on 10 league results , short sighted in the extreme . Yet to hear from the boo brigade what or rather who they would turn to to rebuild our club , or are they just interested in winning a few games , serious question , long term future or short term wins Grade a mentalists 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
