compo 6,975 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 It will be a tough game always seems to be against the steelmen we should be good enough to get to the final but I can see plenty of yellow cards on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,549 Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 Manager on a hiding to nothing with this presser but nothing in here to suggest an understanding of why fans are so disappointed and what we do expect on a game-by-game basis. There remain too many questions about this transitional period and very few answers. Onto Sunday... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,549 Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 Nothing yet on player availability and I know I'm clutching at straws with this more pragmatic line-up but surely the manager has to offer something even slightly different on Sunday? No particular player came away from Pittodrie with credit so changes must be made. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't see it. More of the same, in all likelihood, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No particular player came away from Pittodrie with credit so changes must be made. That would be a good starting point but they would need a run of four or five games together regardless of results or performances. Are we willing to accept that? It seems that although the season was set aside for development, the club is still trying to compete. Can’t be done. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny3k 646 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Likely team: Dessers Bajrami Lawrence Cerny Diomande Raskin Jefte Propper Souttar Tav Butland A team which would show a willingness to try changes and punish underperformers, even if its in the same formation: Igamane Option 1 - Bajrami Dio Cerny Option 2 - Lovelace Bajrami Cerny Raskin Barron/Dio Jefte Kasanwirjo Souttar Sterling Butland 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There remain too many questions about this transitional period and very few answers. Onto Sunday... Clement makes a point of mentioning 2012 again. Apparently it comes from the meeting he had with the full board in June. It was used to emphasis the need to change direction (financially) as in we don't want to go bankrupt again. The condition/direction of our finances were viewed as potentially existential in that meeting. John Bennett would have been part of that discussion and you wonder if he might have been PC's biggest defender. There was a defensive steeliness about Clement today. Lets see what he comes up with on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No particular player came away from Pittodrie with credit so changes must be made. I think the problem is that when the manager has changed things up, it hasn't worked and he's had to change it at halftime (Sunday and Wednesday are prime examples). This leads to the notion that whilst the starting 11 aren't great, we have very little depth to the squad. Given that, a change of formation may be the way forward. Get Dessers and Igamane in a 4-4-2 with Cerny and Bajrami wide / playing in and around the front 2. Current Motherwell will be looking at this game 99.9% sure how we will set-up and what our starting 11 will be and will play their game around this. The manager has nothing to lose, he's a dead man walking in the eyes of a growing number of fans. He needs to do something different and do it soon, for all our sakes and sanity 😃 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
