CoF 655 Report post Posted January 3 15 hours ago, Kmcalpin said: Its been clear for some time, and yes we're all wise in hindsight, that results on the pitch were very poor. I'm not going to name sources but I believe the situation off the pitch had been brewing beforehand. Maybe so, but it's ridiculously premature to say they've been napping. If we're still managerless in two weeks time then that criticism is fair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ropy 654 Report post Posted January 3 Lasley has to realise that this isn’t the time to take the reins, he would be setting himself up to fail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underboyleheating 1,412 Report post Posted January 3 The gig has come too soon for Lasley. He bleeds claret & amber however, at this time we need an experienced head, not a rookie coach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would assume the club would suggest keeping the coaching team. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although, any new boss may want to bring in their own assistant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fairhill 17 Report post Posted January 3 I think it's harsh to blame Las, even for the goalie who on any other day could have been brilliant. Further, him taking over in the short-term gave him no real chance in picking up a team that couldn't care less whether they win or not. You could always count on him as a player to give everything on the pitch. The fault is at the board level where it must have been obvious that Robbo's time was up, and they didn't have a plan A never mind a plan B. For me there should always be a place for absolute loyalty, even if it's not as the manager. Las has earned that, and for me Crags as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That keeper doesn't have a brilliant game in him...he really could be George Weahs cousin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't blame Las for yesterday's fiasco but by the same token there was no evidence that he was capable of turning things around or improving matters. You could take issue with some of his decisions ie personnel and tactics but we're all wise in hindsight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfc 237 Report post Posted January 3 Yesterday was all about the players for me and how they would react and all it did was show them for what they are absolute spinless,they couldn't even show any sort of professional pride to stop getting spanked by hamilton fucking accies.lasley isn't the answer to our managerial problem though,i can see him being kept on but we badly need a new voice in the dressing room and quick.

Its not right I know, but maybe some weren't prepared to fire themselves up for the vestiges of the old regime as they'd see it. Not saying that was the case but its not inconceivable.

I totally agree,I think we will only see some kind of reaction when a new manager comes in,no harm to keith but he can't get the job,were in total free fall and giving it to him would be the biggest gamble we could take.
