That’s got to be the hope , at the moment we’re not showing any obvious level above the opposition .
Ideally we can step up a level and continue to beat Morton and then step up again as we progress towards spl .
Still to settle into our new way of playing , establish best formation and personnel and hopefully add quality into defence .
Agree 👍

Thats a fair assessment based on performances thus far -be interesting to see if we can step up our own game.
That’s exactly it really, Morton are way better than what we’ve played so far.
In my view, and I appreciate others have other opinions, I’ve not seen anything from us that gives me a great amount of hope, maybe an occasional flash of “something” from someone but that’s it.im just hoping as we are playing a better side, on a good park that we show more creation and composure in the final third, which is the most important part of the game.

I’ll put this out here now, We will not be beating Morton next week. Morton have a decent side and a streetwise manager, helped by a streetwise director of football.
I’ll be at the game, I’ll not be booing, shouting at players or calling for JBA,s head…. But we will not be winning that game.

You know, fairs fair to Stenhousemuir. They had 7 new players arrived yesterday and today (I now believe they’ve all been involved) part time players, probably not too used to plastic parks either and they’ve kept a top level, possession centric, load management team to a bare minimum of goal shoots. Thank god we have SOD’s

Watching this footage must be what it’s like having vertigo. I thought I was going to pass out there.

Apart from one slack pass wee Luca Ross has done ok since coming on, really busy, wanting the ball, making good runs.

Second half already looking worse than the first 😳
It’s rotten isn’t it. Really miserable stuff.

Looking forward to see the formation. Looks interesting

Keeping a hold of the ball isn't a " project ", it's how the majority of the world play now...even the limited time I've seen of the women's football shows this
Whether our fans accept it is another matter, but giving the players and mgr a hard time won't help.
It is a “sort of” project as we’ve not played this way before.
I do think it can work, Guardiola has showed that but he does have the world’s best defenders at his disposal. This style would work easily in womens football as it’s incredibly slower than men’s football.for me, I can’t help but think it’d be quite easy to play against at our level. You’ll have 2 opposing players shutting our defenders (who aren’t great on the ball) down immediately, and ….. it may come as a surprise to some folk …. But we don’t have the worlds best defenders at our disposal.
lets see how it goes today again, let’s hope for an improvement on the past two games, that’s all we can ask for.
still think we’ll win 3-0

So in short you’re asking for patience, calm heads and no abuse from the fans? I’m onboard with that but I fear others won’t be.
👍 I think the vast majority of us are onboard with that tbh.

We've had Alexander, Robinson, Hammell and Kettlewell and everyone of them got dogs abuse for the style of football they had us playing.
Now we get a new manager in with new ideas, new style etc and we still have people moaning about it after 4 games and a lot of new players ffs.
People need to get a grip and judge the team and how we are playing not now but later in the season, give the manager and his players time to implement his new style etc. Or they can always go to Killie or St Mirren if they are missing the kick and chase tactics.
I wasn’t moaning at all and what I was saying youve just said. I gave my thoughts on it and am willing to give this time as I said, and genuinely interested and sort of excited on what’s to come. I wasn’t being negative at all.

Personally I couldn't care less if we lose goals through the sweeper keeper project with one condition...it creates more goals than we lose through it. If there's a net gain then fine, if not then ditch it.
How do we know though? There won’t be a comparison? Unless he plays half the season one way and the other half the other way.
we just need to see how it goes. -

“transitioning”…… jeezus, I am swallowing all this new football jargon 🤦♂️

Patience is required. It will be interesting to see us holding our nerve when we ship goals getting caught in 18 yard box.
I do agree, I think these goals are inevitable and when we lose them the frustration will be apparent.
I’m willing to give this an acceptable amount of time and as long as we remain safe from relegation then I’ll accept the style of play, but if we are sitting bottom or 2nd bottom of the league 3/4 of the way through the season, shipping ridiculous goals due to our limited defenders , due to a “project” by our manager, with what awaits the future of the club/staff/support, in the lower leagues then I doubt I’ll be as patient.
I’m not entirely convinced this defensive set up / style, is necessary and there is an element of vanity project about it but I do like the attacking winger element of what I think he’s doing?
anyway, it’s something different so we’ll see how it goes. -
He’s all about load management.
I hear him as when I sit watching TV at night over the weekend and I’m half way through a family bag of Doritos and large bag of minstrels, I too consider my load management.
Sometimes I transition to the floor to enable me to use a quality counter press to complete the job in the final third.-

Ok Motherwell, as patient as I am 🤣 Nothing more than a good win is acceptable. We are playing a mid table league 1 team.
weve had a few games, we’ve seen a steady improvement, JBA should know what is working and what players have something about them. We “should” be miles ahead of stenny in fitness and ability, (and player numbers by all account) forget the plastic park, ability really should be the determining factor here.
3-0

Get in faddy!! I’ve been quite impressed by him tonight, he’s a bit of a Harry Paton upgrade with much better hair.

Well….. that was p1sh!! I only want to see a steady improvement each game and that first half wasn’t any better than Saturday’s.
anyway, we’ll see how the 2nd half goes, wee need many more goal shoots!!

What height is connelly? Watching this he looks like a midfielder who’s replaced an injured goalie.

To be fair, he’s looked pretty good going forward the Longelo lad.

Think our back four were tasked with wiring up the commentary mics ??
That’s been the only positive so far

Im just hoping the Peterhead players tire in the second half. Half of their team will have been working all day so I’m hoping they’ll wilt soon.

Jesus, that should have been 2-0

I will give this defensive situation and how the manager wants to play a bit of slack and try and be patient but that was a shocker of a goal to lose. It looked like u/12 defending.

I’m really just saying what I’m seeing and I am still hopeful we’ll be ok. I quite like how the manager is and I’m quite happy how the set up at the club is.
But if you can tell me what has inspired you on the park so far then I’m interested to hear it? the only thing I’ve saw that I think looks ok is a few midfielders who seem to have a bit of ability but lack a bit of creation.
