Something has happened behind the scenes. How else can you explain the sudden lack of effort. 

Sure confidence has been dented but the players are not running on or off the ball. The live wire Said has stopped smiling and everything seems flat.

In flashes we have seen what they are capable off but overall theres a sniff of disinterest. 

Is the dressing room split?

Jens obviously scared the shit out of players and they dared not do what was asked. By all accounts Alfred is different. So who is kicking backsides and demanding maximum effort. Is that whats missing and players like JT and Longelo are going threw the motions, stinking the place out and causing issues.

We know we lack leadership on the park, but off it there is no excuses for someone not standing up to any nonsence.

The board need to be having a look at what is going on.

We all want Alfred to succeed but its getting harder for him by each passing game.

 

 

 

Total guess but I wonder if JT and Longelo are causing unrest because they never got a move.  Spitting dummy out wont get them a move.  AJ I think needs to get ruthless or he will be out a job. Also mcginn and SOD need to be peacemaker if there is disharmony

That's us lost to teams managed by robinson,pressley and now mccann in a short space of time and the manager seems to have no answers,in fact were getting worse by the game.

Jens was an absolute find Alfred is the polar opposite . From the outside looking in he’s simply not got the personality and authority for the job or the league. 
 

Cut our losses and pay him off - we’ve wasted plenty money on other things this season so just add his appointment to the list 

 

All the hard work to get the feel good factor , club on the up, better attendances all brought to its knees with a guy out his depth arguably not helped by some shocking signings 

 

We dont  have a single leader in that dressing room and don’t have a player who can tackle ,there is no balance

I'm amazed Nick Daws hasnt got a mention yet 🤪🤪

Well if Nick Daws was in anyway involved with signing Willie Vogts it’s more than a mention he should get

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The signing of Vogts was initiated by Jens but Daws probably would obviously have been involved

Jambos away in Turkey on Thursday so hopefully tired but I admit that is desperation.   He needs to bring in a new defence.  If it doesn't work then folk cant say problems weren't addressed.

But yup..it is worrying 

.

Agree Grizzly, worrying, but as people say a couple of wins and it’s top 6 again so I’ve said before on the game thread next 3 games, min 2 wins if it’s zero wins then as much as it’ll cost us to get AJ out I thk that would be the time as it’s clearly not working at the moment.

Jens himself would have struggled to recreate anything like our best from last season even without losing Just, Welsh, Watt, Ward and Slattery. Teams had cottoned on to us by late last season and we were nowhere near as effective as we were from November-February bar Ibrox and Easter Road.
 

Whoever came in faced a very difficult task to try and get us playing at the same standard we were last season and for that I don’t envy Alfred. But unfortunately he just doesn’t look like he knows what he is doing and his lack of coaching experience is showing.

I just don’t see this ending well for him and us.
