Alfred McLean

The best player at the club by a mile and he’s produced for us again.

Lowwwwry!!!!!!!

He signed him, he’s coaching him/the team. That’s now two goals Paulsen has sold by trying to play football in his own box. We don’t have the defenders with the qualities on the ball to make that work so he needs to stop doing it. And yes, before anyone says it, I remember well that Ward did the same last year at Celtic Park and cost us a goal and a point but he/we learned from it. It helped that we also had something resembling a football team in front of him.

Alfred Hammell

Great start 🤦‍♂️

But saying he and others felt on edge around JBA? Surely footballers should feel a bit a bit edgy around their manager? He is there to command respect and lead them and if they’re not doing what he is asking him to then the players know he will come down on them. Klopp at Liverpool acted like a father figure to his players, always hugging them and embracing them at the end of games but he demanded maximum input from them at all times and they didn’t cross him. Alfred needs to show that he can lead and manage the team and so far he’s fallen short on that front.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but for me SOD’s comments about finding Alfred more approachable than JBA are a bit concerning and supports the worry about him not having that leadership and presence. A soft touch perhaps. Last week you had Longelo walking away while he was trying to talk to him and others, that 100% would not have happened with Askou.

And a bag of cans?

Another defeat. Probably 2-0 again.

The 0-4 gubbing at home against Aberdeen has knocked the stuffing and the confidence right out of us and Alfred looks completely clueless as to how to rectify it. He’s not helped himself with his team selections particularly yesterday. Also, I reckon if we hadn’t postponed that Aberdeen game in favour of this particular game and played it on the Sunday of the weekend it was scheduled for we would probably have beaten them then, or at the very least not got gubbed 4-0.

Ahh “don’t feed the troll” In other words “you and I can’t argue with anything that has been put forward by that particular poster so let’s just slink away and try to dismiss it as trolling” It’s a bit like “pant wetter” and “you’re behaving like Old Firm fans”. I’m just here to discuss the club and the team. Point of the forum surely?

And what do we have right now? Because I don’t see anything that you mention in the above quote from us in this current team.

If the strategy is going to get us relegated, yes.
