FirParkCornerExile Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 3 hours ago, Richie said: To be fair to Kenny McIntyre, on Sat he said he misjudged the situation at Fir Park and essentially was initially taking things at face value (5th, Cup semi etc) and was unaware of the issues around style of play, 1 shot on goal etc. hes supposed to be a sports reporter no a band wagon jumper. His admission reflects what we all know , if it doesnt involve the OF they are clueless. The same ones currently saying Thistle sacking Doolin is harsh, when Thistle gave him a decent budget to try and get promotion and they may be 4th but in are in complete freefall.

He either plays RWB or he is on bench. Seemples He's not very good in either position , needs released at end of season unless he had a contract extension nobody knows about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well_said Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 1 hour ago, wellgirl said: I've never booed a player or manager yet and I get why the team got booed on Saturday as hard as it was to hear it I'll give the new manager support - I hope he does well and if we can stay up - that's good enough for me. It's obvious the players have lost confidence again like they did when we were on that 15 game winless run. Perhaps the manager was asking them to play in positions they were not capable of playing or perhaps the previous manager signing policy was extremely poor or perhaps it occurred to him that he was a complete bellend that left before he was asked to leave and in the process told a pack of lies about perceived abuse he received. Good riddance to the prick , good luck Michael your predecessor left a crock of shit for you to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're entitled to your opinion, he's poor defensively and can't cross , not great for a full back...anyway if new mgr picks him I'll do my best to back him.

wunderwell Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 5 hours ago, wellgirl said: SOD was playing well before his injury. It's an interesting point. He was better pre-injury. What I would say is this - a lot is pointed to Kettlewells bad run of games but lets look at his best run. Johnston & Furlong as wing backs. It wasn't just Van Veens great run of form. If we play 3 at the back we need dynamic wing backs and O'Donnell is unfortunately not a fit for that system. Perhaps in a 4 at the back at RB. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mootherwell86 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 SOD is pish. Has been pish for 4 and a half years. I can’t even say anything constructive because he’s that pish. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOD has been one of the most divisive players at the club for some time.. He seemed to rub a small section of our support up the wrong way from the beginning and has not really recovered. Even this comment gets a couple of laughs and a confused emoji. The fact is that before his injury problems he was playing for Scotland in the Euros. The strange thing is, that even then some Well fans just would not back him. What should have been a source of pride for the club became a source of contention amongst the fans. It is a really strange one. He has struggled to find form and consistency in recent times there is no doubt but the statement above seems very reasonable. It will be very interesting to see if Wimmer sticks with him and SOD can recapture some form. Surely that is something all Well fans would welcome? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just being going on too long for me, getting caught wrong side. Thats him onto manager 5, so they must see something but think theyve all dropped him too. Anyway we move on, if new boss can get a tune, great and I will back him .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what you say but I think a dose of confidence will do wonders for a number of the players including the ones you mention.

sinjy Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Wimmer gives me the fear. No idea of Scottish football and is only familiar with English football. Talking of press and energy, things that any manager would say. Only a gradual introduction to his ideas when we need a quick change.God I hope I am so wrong.

Stuart Kettlewell and Stevie Hammel knew plenty about Scottish football , doesnt mean they are good. Any change of manager is a risk. However Wimmers appointment is no more risky than anyone else.

That’s a fair take and you’ll not be the only one thinking this. Only time will tell if this is going to work for us but with the squad he inherits he is up against it straight away. The only thing I would say is that I didn’t see any other appointment that we could have made that would have given us any more reason to be optimistic at this point. I genuinely thought we would have handed the job to Stephen Frail at least until the end of the season in keeping with our usual lazy approach (and yes, new board etc). So it’s going to be a tough few months and if Wimmer is to succeed with us then he has to keep us in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron_Mcd Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 It's not singling a player out to suggest that a guy that's onto his 5th manager in 5 seasons isn't performing. He gets done constantly defensively and is so poor going forwards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player and the manager - and we don't scapegoat players either. Did people think SOD was a bad player when he played out of his skin for Scotland? Time to give him a break. He's probably going to be gone by summer anyway Yes, I did think he was rotten when he played for Scotland...I think he is genuinely one of the luckiest players ever to grace a Scotland top regularly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you if cooper was playing now that fud clarke wouldn't have picked him anyway . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
