    Aye absolutely, Lambert gave the impression that he thought he could do better..

    Lennnon, * off part of the reason why Ange's job is so big.

    Still, wouldn't sack him regardless of the score on Sun.

    "We're not going to change our style"

    A stubborn man, soon-to-be an unemployed one.

    No they won’t.

    People will lap it up, just as they did with Ange’s appointment.

    Kennedy should've left with Lennon. A massive part of the problem within our club, what has this * done to deserve being thrown into FOUR different managers backroom staff.

    The club own him nothing, but like the majority of people within the club, he "tows the line"

    Utter jobs for boys *

    Was talking to my old man today and he said that about Postecoglou in his last presser, said the guy couldnt even look the interviewer in the eye, staring at his shoes, coughing, spluttering, hesitating when answering - all the signs of complete lack of confidence.

    I haven’t heard what he’s had to say after tonight, nor am I interested quite frankly, I am in no mood whatsoever to listen any excuses for that total embarrassment tonight.

    * Angeball? Burst ball is what this is…

    I don’t disagree with you - in fact I said myself that I feel he needs to change the system/shape. The board knew what they were getting with Ange before he joined though (or at least should have) and they’ve not done enough to get him the players he needed in the Summer. That’s irrelevant for another three months now though, so he needs to do better with what he has.

    The reality is that in other jobs he’s had, spending a year underperforming whilst getting players used to a system and then kickstarting down the line has seen him be successful, but you just don’t get that time to build here. That said, if we’re all being honest, as unforgivable as it is and with the state of our squad, this season was always going to be a huge uphill battle.

    I don’t think a knee * reaction is the answer. Our club needs modernised and Ange can play a part in that.

    They were going way over and beyond. Lennon sleekitly saying to Darrell that you don't get long when talking about the importance of Sunday, which is hilarious from him as he was kept in the job at least 6 month's too long the wee rat..

    Lambert came across a *. Talking about going at player's in the dressing room and him and Lennon saying how you can't do that now..

    Exactly why both those clowns won't ever manage again..

    He definitely should have been gone along with Lennon. At what other club in the world would the assistant manager who has just been a part of one of the biggest collapses in the clubs history, then be allowed to stay on in his job working with a manager who doesn’t even know him. It just sums the club up to be honest. We are a shambles, and ran like a pub team.

    Yep. Criminally naive for a well travelled, experienced coach with year's under his belt..

    Funnily enough, brought on two sitting midfielders when the game was gone at 3 nil. You have to laugh..

    Aye that, coupled with his wee outbursts to the media in pre match pressers and some of the pish he comes out with post match, like away at Betis when he was happy with us going for it and losing, rather than shutting up shop and drawing. Yawn..

    He's looked downbeat a few time's, particularly when we were slow in making deals but if you saw him tonight, that was the worst x10. Looked well beat and with no real answer to what's happening..

    Alarm bells are ringing massively..

    I'm 100% behind the guy. His "system," is nothing revolutionary and it should be within the capabilities of competent professional footballers to play it. He's walked into an absolute shitshow of a football club, with no vision or wisdom behind the scenes. A club that doesn't produce quality footballers and has a track record of spunking silly money on inadequate players.

    Unfortunately he's made some bad signings himself, and going forward he has to identify the ones who don't have the ability, technically, mentally or physically to play his way. As long as he can do that he gets time and understanding from me.

    The bigger issue are the people who run this mess, and who haven't been made accountable for it.

    I'm worried I must admit.

    Said I'd give him the season as long as I seen progress but I'm not seeing that.

    His stubbornness will be his downfall. With this style even if he has his full team in a year or so I don't ever see us being stable enough defensively to do anything of note.

    E.g. the second goal isn't because of ralston individually. It's because of the tactics and what he's being asked to do. The inverted full backs...I'm not a fan.

    Did you look at Ralston's position for their 2nd goal tonight ?


    He was playing in midfield lol.


    Already the manager looks a beaten man, i don't believe he can turn it around and go on a winning run, it's one thing to be optimistic but we also have to be realistic about the situation.

    Ange doesn't stand a chance. He's not got his own backroom staff. Or the backing.

    Montgomery, Taylor, Welsh, Starfelt, CCV. Injured Julien, ralston and Juranovic. We've never seen the guy from Sheffield Wednesday. Its the worst backline in history.

    It was bad last season with Duffy and Laxalt. Now we are even worse. We knew we had to sign LBs. We didn't bother to again.

    Didn't do it again. Fans are getting mugged off.

    We don't have the ability and we need to twist. I don't think he stands a chance.

    Our team are *.

    To be honest mate, I think the two holding midfielders were brought on purely to give players a rest, and they were about the only options available to replace the players coming off. The bench is so poor it’s laughable.
